Asset coding

Each piece of equipment gets a unique code that identifies it unambiguously throughout the system, from the work order to the failure history.

Equipment hierarchy

A tree structure organizing assets by plant, area, line, and equipment, making analysis by location or criticality easier.

Equipment technical record

Technical data, manufacturer manual, warranty, and spare parts linked to each piece of equipment, accessible from its record.

What an auditor usually asks for

  • Complete, coded asset inventory
  • Equipment hierarchy by plant, line, and equipment
