iOnAssets
Thinking about assets might take your brain immediately to your bank account. However, asset tracking is the practice of understanding all of the physical assets that you have in your possession and tracking them. When you’re starting a business, asset tracking for your physical assets is absolutely necessary so you know what you have and how to manage them.
Today firms have started to burn the midnight oil in an attempt to strive to increase business, increase revenues and thereby have landed up increasing the number of their resources and assets. It may be easy to track assets in a small organization but as soon as this number crosses a few thousands, it is a pain to Know how many and where the assets are located.
Asset tracking and management means:
- Knowing where the assets are located.
- Knowing where the assets were last located.
- Knowing the assets which have gone missing and
- Also knowing how many assets the company possesses
Often this information proves to be beneficial when an asset contributing highly to the overall revenue has gone missing leading to losses. The concern is not always the value of the asset but the cost of not knowing where and how many assets there are.
While evaluation existing systems or processes, one needs to look for :
- Ineffective present technology: Today barcode technology is used for asset tracking but it is not a viable in critical processes because often it is time consuming and labour intensive. Also it is more prone to errors due to the tags not being properly read.
- Chaotic work-flow: People and equipment do not necessarily move along a fixed path. It does become difficult to get accurate and timely data on location and status of assets disrupting the work-flow and leading to reduced efficiencies.
- Loss of revenue: Difficulty in locating a asset that has to be directly delivered to a customer leads to delays resulting in loss of sales and hence revenue.
- Inefficient utilization of assets: Often inability to track assets results in under utilization of the assets currently present and unnecessary purchase of new assets thus reducing throughput.
- Improper Maintenance Schedule: Where large volumes of assets are involved the difficulty lies in not only tracking of assets but also tracking their maintenance on a regular basis as outdated and worn out assets may decrease efficiencies and lower productivity.
