Turn asset strategy into work
Build the asset hierarchy, prioritise by criticality, develop the right maintenance strategy, and implement it in Maximo or SAP PM with every decision traceable.
Strategy should not stop at the report
Criticality reviews, OEM recommendations, RCM workshops and optimisation studies all produce decisions. Too often those decisions end up in separate documents while the live maintenance programme carries on unchanged.
When someone eventually retypes the output into the CMMS, context is lost. Tasks, intervals and spares no longer have a dependable link to the risk or evidence that justified them.
AssetStage closes the execution gap. Approved strategies become PMs and job plans with the intervals, trades, durations and spares that were agreed. No re-keying and no interpretation step.
Every task needs a defensible basis
Ask why that bearing inspection is quarterly. You will get a shrug, or you will get “it came across in the migration.”
Legacy programs carry decades of tasks with no author, no basis and no date. You cannot defend them to a surveyor, and you cannot delete them either, because nobody is willing to be the person who removed the one that mattered.
AssetStage gives every task a reason. That may be a failure mode and consequence, an OEM requirement, a statutory obligation or an optimisation decision. The chain is recorded from the CMMS task back to its source.
Decisions carry the workshop roster, the approver and a timestamp. Approval is enforced independently, so a facilitator cannot sign off their own analysis.
Strategy has to change with the asset base
The analysis is right on the day it is finished. Then the plant changes, the failure history says something different, and a two-week task becomes a monthly one.
You learn these things one asset at a time. A bearing fails between inspections. A technician finds the task was written for a pump that was replaced four years ago. A root cause investigation lands a real conclusion. Every one of those lessons applies to the other forty machines like it, and none of them ever hear about it.
Actioning it means touching thousands of records by hand, so it doesn't happen. The program you go live with is the program you are stuck with, and the analysis quietly stops describing the plant you actually run.
AssetStage keeps it alive. Link assets to a template strategy, change the strategy once, and it propagates across every asset that shares it. Preview the diff before you commit, roll it back if it's wrong, and the audit trail survives either way.
That makes a lesson learned worth acting on. One failure mode revised, one interval corrected, one task retired, applied across the whole equipment class in an afternoon instead of a change project nobody has the budget for. The analysis stops being a record of what you decided in 2023 and becomes the thing your maintenance actually runs from.
From asset risk to work order, and back again
One continuous chain from strategy development to live maintenance. Use the analysis method that fits the decision, while keeping the evidence and audit trail intact.
Prioritise
Use criticality and consequence to focus effort on the equipment classes where better decisions create the most value.
Develop
Use RCM and FMEA where a failure-led study is justified, or optimise existing PMs against OEM evidence, history and operating context.
Govern
Capture the basis, reviewer and approval for every decision. JA1011 conformance is available when the strategy is developed through RCM.
Land
Promote accepted tasks into import-ready job plans and PMs for Maximo and SAP PM, or link to maintenance you already have. Every record traces back to its decision.
Then it loops. A failure the analysis didn't predict, an interval the history says is wrong, a task the crew has been skipping for a year: revise the strategy and the revision reaches every asset that shares it, with the same governance and the same audit trail as the original study.
Built for the organization, not for one asset
Analyse an equipment class once. Apply it across the organization: 92 ships, 40 substations, or an entire pipeline. The second one costs a fraction of the first.
The same mechanism is what keeps the program living. A lesson learned on one machine is a change to the class strategy, and from there it is already in the maintenance program for every machine like it. Improvement stops being a project and becomes something you do on a Tuesday.
Start from ISO 14224 content and save your own validated templates, so repeat analyses take hours rather than weeks. Applied content keeps its library provenance, and local edits are flagged as modified.

Common Questions
Answers on asset strategy, RCM, governance and getting approved maintenance into the CMMS.
What does AssetStage mean by asset strategy?
It is the governed link between asset risk and the work carried out in your CMMS: which assets matter most, what maintenance they need, why that work is justified, and how the strategy changes as evidence improves.
What is reliability-centred maintenance (RCM)?
RCM is a method for deciding the right maintenance for each asset based on its functions and the ways it can fail, rather than by habit or calendar alone.
Is AssetStage's RCM analysis JA1011-compliant?
The workflow and conformance report support SAE JA1011-aligned analysis. Competent facilitation, evidence review, risk acceptance and approval remain with your team.
Can AssetStage push RCM results into Maximo or SAP PM?
Yes. Accepted tasks promote into import-ready job plans and PMs, or link to existing maintenance, with a full audit trail from failure mode to work order.
Does this replace my RCM facilitator or consultant?
No. It structures and governs the analysis and gets the output into your CMMS. Engineering judgment stays with your team. Facilitation is available as a service if you want it.
How is this different from PM optimisation?
PM optimisation standardises maintenance you already have across identical assets. RCM derives the strategy from functions and failure modes. AssetStage does both.
Can I reuse an analysis across similar equipment?
Yes, through an equipment-class failure-mode library built from ISO 14224 content and your own saved templates.
What happens when the strategy needs to change?
Link assets to a template strategy and change the strategy once. The change propagates across every asset that shares it, with a diff to preview before you commit and a rollback if it is wrong. That is how a lesson learned on one machine reaches the maintenance program for the whole equipment class, with the audit trail intact.
