Context
LaGuardia Airport, a major hub in New York City welcoming over 32 million passengers annually, has evolved through successive upgrades. In a context of increasing operational complexity and aging infrastructure, LaGuardia seeks to benchmark and improve its Asset Management practices in line with international best practices. Evaluate current AM maturity as a first step toward ISO 55001 certification. Identify strengths and improvement areas to enhance decision-making, productivity, and operational resilience. Define a structured roadmap with prioritized actions, gains estimation, and implementation timeline
Our solution
- 01 ISO 55001 Maturity Assessment : Evaluate existing asset management practices against international standards to identify strengths, weaknesses, and improvement areas.
- 02 Roadmap to Certification: Define a structured and prioritized action plan, including quick wins and long-term improvements, to guide LaGuardia toward ISO 55001 compliance.
- 03 Decision Support for Strategic Asset Management: Provide tools and methodologies to simulate asset aging, optimize investment scenarios, and align operations with performance and budget objectives.
What Oxand delivered
Improved decision-making
Improved Decision-Making Capabilities - Enhanced ability to simulate investment scenarios and align maintenance planning with performance, risk, and cost objectives.
Strengthened governance and alignment
Strengthened Governance and Internal Alignment - Clarified roles, better coordination across departments, and a shared roadmap for sustainable and efficient infrastructure management.
"As asset leader, I'm aware of the need to challenge our practices and be at the top level of operation and maintenance practices. Within this context, we want as a first step to perform a Maturity Assessment of our Asset Management practices, in order in the future to get the ISO 55001 – Asset Management – Certification."
Questions about this reference
What did LaGuardia Airport ask Oxand to assess?
The maturity of its asset management practices against international standards, as a first step towards ISO 55001 certification, in a context of successive upgrades, ageing infrastructure and rising operational complexity.
What is an asset management maturity assessment?
A structured comparison of what an organisation actually does against what the standard requires, area by area. It produces strengths and gaps rather than a single score, which is what makes it actionable.
What does the roadmap contain?
A prioritised action plan holding both quick wins and long-term improvements, with an estimation of the gains and an implementation timeline, so the path to compliance can be sequenced rather than attempted at once.
Why does an airport pursue ISO 55001?
Because the standard requires that asset decisions be traceable to objectives, evidence and risk. For a hub handling over 32 million passengers a year, that traceability is what makes maintenance and investment choices defensible outside the technical teams.
What does the airport gain beyond the certification path?
A stronger ability to simulate investment scenarios and align maintenance planning with performance, risk and cost, and clearer governance — roles clarified, departments better coordinated, and one shared roadmap.
