Asset Management

The effective, efficient delivery of services, such as healthcare, transportation and logistics, requires the proper alignment of resources and assets. In critical situations, such as emergency rooms or intensive care units, the resource alignment can make the difference between life and death.

Assets such as equipment and trucks, resources such as people, and task execution need to be continuously located and aligned to assure proper execution. Finding these assets and assuring they are in the hands of the right people for the proper task will determine if jobs are executed to specification, and thereby assuring prompt payment and future revenue from customers. Lack of alignment and execution can introduce unwanted risk.

An evolving trend is for organizations to use RFID tags, sensor networks, GPS systems, or a combination thereof, to track assets. The value of the this live data on asset movement is realized when it is used to drive situational awareness to how processes are executing and driving realignment actions.
