DISCOVER THE BOOK "LA gestion d'actifs" ■

In "La Gestion d'Actifs", Celso de Azevedo delivers the key elements of industrial asset management and guides the reader in setting up effective asset management within the company. Written for experienced readers or not, the author offers insights into the key elements of this discipline and the solutions to make optimal decisions in this area.

At no time does the author claim to hold an universal truth about how to solve all problems. Instead, the author highlights his own rich experience of many industrial scenarios and infrastructures around the world. He presents concepts of solution, not in the form of requirements, but rather in the logic of the methodological tradition of a scientist.

Designed around the desire to "take the reader by the hand", the book, which can be read in one go or chapter by chapter, makes it go through the various segments of the life cycle of an asset. The four parts of the book follow the thread of a complete life of an asset, from its conception to dismantling. Experiences and stories of business professionals also highlight aspects of the different functions, tools and elements of asset management.

Technical without being ever unpleasing, the author proposes in this work a true positive vision of the discipline, based on a true conceptual rigor but illustrated by field experience.

FIRST AIRPORT IN CONTINENTAL EUROPE TO OBTAIN ISO 55001 CERTIFICATION. ■

Geneva Airport received the AFAQ ISO 55001 certification from AFNOR, which confirms the use of internationally recognized good practices in the management of its infrastructure. By enabling the implementation of an integrated management system based on performance evaluation and continuous improvement, the new ISO 55001 asset management system is a pledge of competence. It demonstrates the existence of solid processes for the technical, administrative and financial asset management. It is the guarantee of a rigorous, framed, reliable and efficient asset management.

This certification is the culmination of long-term analytical work and adjustments that began more than four years ago. It also represents the starting point and a structuring framework for the implementation, sustainability and continuous improvement of the Geneva Airport asset management system. Leadership and corporate culture are key factors in achieving this certification. Commitment at all levels of responsibility is critical to successfully integrate and use these good asset management practices.

The integrated approach and structure to optimize costs across the lifecycle was welcomed by the auditor. He also noted that the alignment between the Geneva Airport objectives and the asset management system was a reality. Geneva Airport proves its ability to manage its physical assets effectively and sustainably, based among other things, on criteria of criticality, risk and performance.
Geneva Airport became the first airport in continental Europe to obtain ISO 55001 certification.
