An asset management system comprising a plurality of assets (12), a plurality of sensors for determining one or more operating conditions for each of said assets and one or more processors (14,22) for determining a risk profile (26,28,30) for each of the assets over time. The processor is arranged to calculate an risk index value for each asset from the risk profile, the risk index providing a relative indicator of the need for maintenance of an asset. A maintenance queue is established and assets are entered into the queue once the risk index value for that asset matches or exceeds a predetermined threshold value (20), the position of the asset in the queue being determined based upon the value of its risk index. |
