What Asset Lifecycle Actually Means
It's the full journey of an asset from the day it enters the company until it leaves service. Ignoring this journey leads to inaccurate investment decisions.
With a comprehensive record in place, maintenance and replacement decisions rest on real numbers rather than estimates.
Essential Data for Every Asset
No asset without cost and operating data can be properly evaluated. The minimum data set should be standardized across all categories.
- Acquisition, operating, and maintenance costs
- Number of breakdowns and downtime hours
- Productivity compared to similar assets
- Estimated resale value
The Keep-or-Replace Decision
When recurring operating cost climbs and readiness drops, replacement may become cheaper than continued repair.
