Seminar on ISO Asset Management

Work to establish the ISO5500x series in terms of Asset Management has been conducted and will be

published in February, 2014. As always, Kyoto University Graduate School of Management continues

supporting the dissemination and promotion of asset management, its management systems and its

technological knowledge, taking into consideration the framework of ISO5500x. In Japan, however, even

though the necessity of asset management is clearly recognized, questions are often asked with respect to

how the international standard can be effective for the improvement of organizational management, how an

organization can develop business with ISO, etc. due to the insufficient understanding of management

systems. Thus, the School will organize the special seminar as shown below to understand more about the

purpose of ISO5500x, the standardization of asset management and business development relating to ISO

asset management in the United Kingdom and the United States of America, advanced countries regarding

asset management activities. In this seminar, it is our pleasure to be able to have the specialist speakers, Mr.

Rhys Davies, the chairman of ISO/PC251 Asset Management, Mr. Phillip T. Cole and Mr. Samuel

Ternowchek from MISTRAS Group Inc. in charge of asset protection solutions. We believe that this seminar

shall contribute to the education and the research for asset management in future and also be an excellent

opportunity to consider business strategy. We welcome all interested parties to join this seminar.
