Assets details are the hub of maintenance management.

The module maintains all physical, operational, financial and geographical aspects of assets. Their relationship with each other is defined by asset groups, which can be independent or hierarchical. Individual items can be found by patterned searches.

Asset Register:

	Up to 7 asset group levels with virtually unlimited numbers of records per group.
	Hierarchical or independent group relationships.
	Sequential searching in query modes.
	Group, Plant, Component and Sub component (a total of 35 characters) levels for asset identification.
	Independent fields for alternate asset number (accounting identification) and cost centre.
	Short asset description followed by 2 pages of free or semi formatted text.
	Unlimited number of formatted text templates for different asset types.
	Maintenance groups linking similar assets to preventative maintenance schedules, failure and condition codes, APL's and spare parts.
	Equipment identification by make, model, serial and arrangement numbers, registration numbers.
	Supplier and agent details with contacts.
	Installed and manufactured dates; anticipated life and disposal dates.
	Purpose, function and responsibilities.
	Current location with grid references for GIS (Geographic Information Systems).
	Location movement details (also accessed from history and archived work orders).
	User definable service meter unit register, with up to 100 alternative indicators.
	Average weekly usages calculated over short and long term intervals.
	Downtime cost for use in criticality reports.
	Agent and supplier fields distinguishing service, sales and manufacturing contacts.
	Condition indicators.
	Details of components that make up the asset including make, model, serial numbers, arrangement numbers, oil compartment details and user definable fields.
	Warranty details by component with expiry dates and service meter units.

Financial Details:

	Capital cost, when paid and the service meters units when acquired.
	Replacement cost, when last revised and cost (in standard dollars) per service meter unit.
	Market value and when assessed.
	Type of ownership or finance, periodic liability and depreciation.
	Up to 3 hire rates with revision date.
	Discounted cash flow analysis based on expenses (capital, repair and replacement costs) and revenues (from hire rates).
	Declining balance and straight line depreciation.

Budgets:

	Can be set for asset groups and plant items.
	Budgets for labour, parts and other items.
	Yearly and monthly periods.
	Smoothing to generate monthly from yearly budgets.
	Automatic extrapolation with percentage increase from a base year.
	Automatic or manual runs for updating actuals (labour and parts) from work orders and history.

Components & Rotables:

	Make, model, serial and arrangement numbers.
	Oil compartment information.
	4 user definable fields.
	Rotables are given a discreet identification code and can be included in work order and history information.
	Rotable tracking through different assets, inventory and work shops, with audit trails.
	Warranty:
	Warranty tracking to the component level.
	Expiry dates and service meter units.
	Period reports suggesting checks prior to expiry dates.

Spare parts:

	Arranged by plant and maintenance groups.
	Usage per machine.
	Component break downs for APL's.
	Direct links to inventory and supply systems.

Drawing register:

	Index to drawings numbers, revision numbers, storage locations and free form description of contents.
	Optional links to MS Windows CAD packages.

Service Indicators:

	SMU updates from Asset, Fuel & Oil or Production modules.
	Up to 100 different service indicators can be tracked. These are user definable and can include: hours, fuel consumed, rotations, swings, tonnes produced or moved, kilowatt hours etc.
	Automatic or manual calculation of average weekly usages for the timing of scheduled maintenance jobs.

Generic features and report generators:

	Common to all modules:
	Report generators attached to each online inquiry screen.
	Generated reports can be reused and shared with others.
	Special menus with data profiling views.
	Online screens have comprehensive locating and ranging facilities.
