The importance of enforcing asset uniqueness

摘要

The ability to enforce asset uniqueness at the individual component level is an important aspect of enterprise asset management (EAM), according to Relegen managing director Paul Bennett.rn"Enforcing asset uniqueness allows the user to manage an unlimited number of asset attributes specifically related to each individual asset. Considering assets at this level of fine detail means organisations can attribute risks and costs more accurately whilst significantly improving an asset's performance and capability," he said.rnEAM software systems that don't allow users to record information relating to the attributes of an individual asset can limit the effectiveness of EAM because when an individual asset is removed from a system, the information relating to that asset stays with the asset category, rather than moving with an individual asset, he said.
