Get more from the assets, data and people you already have.
Shivaan Asset Management optimises reliability, standardises your asset data and lifts your team's capability, so every maintenance and investment decision is made on evidence.
Five services, one asset lifecycle.
Each stage hands something to the next, and what the last stage learns feeds back into the first. Select any stage to jump to it.
Integrated asset lifecycle
- Business & Stakeholder NeedsThe asset management system, policy and SAMP that connect organisational objectives to the way assets are managed.
- Design & System EngineeringRAMS study and analysis used to configure systems to meet required performance at acceptable risk, before equipment is bought.
- Operational ReadinessTaking a project from design and construction to an operation whose people, processes and assets are ready to run and maintain it.
- Operation & MaintenanceGetting more from assets already in service, optimising strategy against real failure data and keeping the CMMS data accurate.
- Continuous ImprovementHierarchy, criticality, strategy, master data and performance measures audited against the standard, then improved.
Business & Stakeholder Needs
Business and stakeholder needs work is the setting of the asset management system, the asset management policy and the Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP) that connect your organisation's objectives to the way your assets are managed.
With that in place, every asset decision traces back to a business objective, and the return on your assets stays tied to what your stakeholders expect.
The asset management policy and strategic plan are developed in guidance of the ISO 55000 series, so your assets stay sustainable through their lifecycle and remain resilient and adaptable to economic, environmental, social and political change. We also assess the existing maturity of your asset management system against the ISO 55000 series, and the assessment comes back with a roadmap to maturity and the continuous improvement opportunities that get you there. Executive level SWOT and PESTLE facilitation supports the same picture of business resilience, adaptability and sustainability.

Design & System Engineering
Design and system engineering is Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety (RAMS) study and analysis used to configure systems and assets to meet required performance at an acceptable risk, before equipment is specified and bought.
Your design and procurement teams get that evidence while it can still change the configuration, before a purchase order fixes it.
The analysis is then used for equipment design, specification and procurement, and we assist with selection of the right equipment on the basis of its value through its lifecycle so it operates reliably in service. We can also develop and implement the RAM Plan and Report in accordance with EN 50126 and stakeholder requirements, and support Operational Risk and Hazard Identification and Functional Safety Analysis: quantifying the Probability of Failure on Demand (PFD) of critical systems to support Safety Integrity Level (SIL) verification in accordance with IEC 61508, and with EN 50126 and EN 50129 for rail applications, within an ISO 31000 aligned risk management framework. Translating failure modes into CMMS failure codes is our niche offering, delivered on SAP PM.
What we deliver
- Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)
- Systems and Assets Criticality & Safety Analysis
- Reliability Block Diagrams (RBD)
- Fault Tree & Event Tree Analysis
- Reliability-Centred Maintenance (RCM)
- Spares Criticality & Optimisation Analysis
- Translate Failure Modes to CMMS Failure Codes
- RAM Plan and Report development in accordance with EN 50126
- Operational Risk and Hazard Identification
- Functional Safety Analysis: PFD quantification supporting SIL verification

Operational Readiness
We deliver the asset and maintenance side of operational readiness for major capital projects, greenfield and brownfield, so the asset structure, maintenance strategy, spares and CMMS data are in place, and governed, before operations takes ownership of the asset.
On the first day of operation, the people who run and maintain the plant inherit a structure, a maintenance strategy and the data to work from.
Readiness starts with the asset management plans, hierarchy, classes and register that give the operation a structure to work to, developed in accordance with the ISO 55000 series. Asset criticality assessment, FMECA and Reliability-Centred Maintenance (RCM) then set the maintenance strategy, with spares and inventory sized against it and maintenance and shutdown planning built around it. Asset life cycle costing covering CAPEX, OPEX and zero-based budgeting, together with asset performance objectives and KPIs, gives the operation the numbers to plan against and be measured on.
What we deliver
- Asset Management Plans (AMP) development in accordance with ISO 55000 series
- Asset Life Cycle Costing including CAPEX, OPEX & Zero-Based Budgeting and Forecasts
- Asset Hierarchy, Classes and Register Development
- Asset Criticality Assessment
- Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)
- Reliability-Centred Maintenance (RCM)
- Translate Failure Modes to CMMS Failure Codes
- Spares Criticality & Optimisation Analysis
- Inventory Management
- Maintenance and Shutdown Planning
- Asset Performance: Objectives/KPI establishment
Inside a major capital project
Readiness depends on information other parties hold, so we work inside the owner's programme and alongside the engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) contractor from early in the project.
- Your owner's team
- We report to your readiness lead through a workstream status and evidence register, with open items ranked by risk, and embed specialists in your team where capacity is short.Who delivers the work
- Your EPCM contractor
- We set the asset and information requirements with the EPCM contractor early enough to shape engineering deliverables and vendor data, and agree the handover format before documents arrive.
- Operations at handover
- Readiness is proved at gate reviews against agreed criteria before the standards, data and governance transfer to operations, and the strategy is refined after the first failures and inspections.
On a greenfield potash mine, the plant reached handover with asset-specific maintenance strategies already in SAP PM, bundled for planning, and failure and cost dashboards set to trend from day one. Read the potash readiness case study

Operation & Maintenance
Operation and maintenance is the work of getting more from assets already in service, by optimising the operating and maintenance strategy against real failure data and keeping the CMMS data behind it accurate.
Shivaan Asset Management works from your own failure data, so each change to a task, interval or failure code can be traced to the failures it addresses.
Alongside the strategy, we strengthen work management and planning and support defect elimination on chronic failures.
What we deliver
- Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)
- Translate Failure Modes to CMMS Failure Codes
- Systems and Assets Criticality & Safety Analysis
- Reliability Block Diagrams (RBD)
- Fault Tree & Event Tree Analysis
- Reliability-Centred Maintenance (RCM)
- Spares Criticality & Optimisation Analysis

Continuous Improvement
Continuous improvement is the audit and uplift of an operating asset base: the hierarchy, criticality, maintenance strategy, master data and performance measures are checked against the standard and improved.
Each improvement is weighed against the level of risk your business has chosen to accept.
Each finding is carried into the CMMS: master data support standardises and optimises the maintenance plans that hold the improvement.

We deliver this as a consulting engagement, taking scattered asset data through to trusted, AI-ready foundations.
See how the framework worksWhy choose us
Each reason links to the work behind it.
Experience across the heavy asset industry
Delivered work from an underground copper mine to a metro rail project, across mining, manufacturing, oil and gas, rail, smelting and defence. Every sector listed has a published case study on this site.
Engineering applied to business objectives
Engagements are led by our Managing Director, Jitesh Patel: a Mechanical Engineering honours graduate with an Executive MBA and a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt. Our reliability engineers, asset management professionals and CMMS specialists deliver the work. At three aluminium smelters, each site's strategic plan links daily work to the plant's objectives on one A3 page, with 23 Asset Management Plans for business-critical asset types.
Informed by the committees, aligned with the standards
Work is aligned with ISO 55001, EN 50126, IEC 61508 and ISO 31000. Our Managing Director is an ISO/TC 251 committee member and served on the technical committee that completed the GFMAM Landscape update. ISO/TC 251 is updating the ISO 55000 series, so the work reflects where the standards are heading.
Failure codes delivered into SAP PM
Failure modes become standardised, asset-specific codes your crews select in the CMMS. We have delivered them on SAP PM in mining and oil and gas, from catalog profiles to production loads, and one global mining operation reached 78% failure-code adoption in 8 months, from no prior use. Our CMMS specialists also work in IBM Maximo, where the method maps to failure classes with problem, cause and remedy codes.
Repeatable methods that save delivery time
Work runs to documented frameworks and adaptable templates that carry across sites and business functions. A functional location audit was delivered 60% faster than the spreadsheet method, and an asset management system aligned with ISO 55001 was delivered 34 days ahead of a 70-day plan, inside budget.
How we assure quality
Five checks built into how we deliver. Each one links to an engagement where it was applied.
Staged approval, tested before load
Deliverables are issued in structured batches, and you review and approve each one. CMMS loadsheets are validated in your sandbox environment before any production load. On the Tier 1 oil and gas engagement run this way, the client's independent assessment rated all 11 dimensions 5.0 out of 5.0.
A confidence level on every AI-assisted result
Each classification carries a confidence level. Confident results are separated from those needing human review, and records outside the taxonomy are flagged rather than forced into a match.
Inspection before a decision
Condition signals are read together with operating context, and no single input decides. Physical inspection remains the verification point before maintenance acts.
Independent assurance where your regime requires it
Where your assurance regime includes independent review, our deliverables are prepared for it. On a metro rail programme, they were reviewed by an Independent Safety Assessor and a Project Independent Certifier.
Results you can defend to your own leadership
Where a result rests on only a before and an after value, the case study says so. Where an outcome is kept qualitative to protect the client, it says that too.
