We talk with Jennifer and Tacoma Zach of MentorAPM about asset management fundamentals, ISO 55000 alignment, and their sessions at SMRP (Oct 6–9, Fort Worth). They explain how a top-down, system-first approach helps teams prioritize the right work, optimize resources, and deliver business value. Tacoma shares a case where this approach led to same-day capital approval, showing how prioritization drives technical and cultural transformation.ISO 55000 focus – Aligning maintenance with business objectives.System-first thinking – Prioritize assets, not just tasks.Right work, right time – Optimize resources & reduce waste.Real-world win – Same-day capital approval through clear prioritization.Culture shift – From reactive maintenance to proactive asset management.https://mentorapm.com/
