  • Asset Management, internationally, is a mature discipline with strong support in database processing, automation, and organizational change management systems being launched by numerous infrastructure managers (ADIF, AENA, DB).

    Recently the UIC has issued guidelines for the application of Railway application guide: Practical Implementation of Asset Management through ISO 55001 (2016). It is a document that sets out guidance on international standards for the railway sector.

    INECO is a provider of railway managers and operators in the field of asset management, in the development of railway technical regulations and in the analysis of the economic and financial sustainability of companies and projects in different geographical areas.

    Asset Management is a set of systematic and coordinated activities and practices, through which a company manages its assets in an optimal way and the performance, risks and expenses associated with them, throughout its life cycle, with the purpose of achieving the business goals of the organization.

    The objective of this paper is to present those actions and starting bases that, according to what has been published by other agents and institutions of the railway market and according to INECO's experience, are the keys to implementing an Asset Management System based on the UNE Standards - ISO 55000 in Railway Administrators and Managers.
