An Asset management system provides the accounting equivalent of a comprehensive inventory control, property management, logistics management and maintenance planning system for a facility owner.
In any case, the rationale for having an Asset Management Systems is that it will answer some basic questions for the owner, such as: What do we own? Where is it? Who has it? When did we buy this item? Is it maintained, and if so, by who? Is the asset connected to a certain process or system? Is it connected to the production network? Has the item been delivered? If delivered, is the product in use or in inventory? How much does the item cost during operation? How well is the asset supporting our business of generating, transmitting or delivering product? How does the asset fit into the reliability plan?
Asset management systems form yet another valuable tool in infrastructure management.
