Because there are so many different types of assets, it pays to be precise.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">What is an engineering asset?\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The most basic definition of an asset has three related parts. There is a physical object, a legal entity, and a value. The definition also covers the relationships between these parts. The legal entity, either a person or company, attributes a value to the physical object.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">We can start building our understanding from there.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Locations in organizations<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">One way to understand engineering assets is by looking at their relative position to other types of assets inside an organization. So, you can think of them as forming the base of a pyramid, with various financial assets positioned above them. Basically, engineering assets are the physical machines, equipment, and facilities that allow an organization to create financial assets such as shares, derivatives, options, and securities.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"none\">Types of values<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Another way to understand engineering assets is by looking at the types of value they deliver. So, there is \u201ccapability\u201d value, which is where most people focus. It\u2019s the asset\u2019s capacity to perform a specific task. In manufacturing, it could be the output. For example, how many perfect tin cans does the equipment produce within a set amount of time. Or, for a fleet, it could be the likelihood a truck arrives on time with a delivery.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The other type of value is financial. Here, you are using monetary units to determine value. It could be dollars or any other standardized monetary unit. Although engineering asset management tends to focus on the capability value, financial value is also important. For example, by looking at costs for initial investment, ongoing maintenance, decommissioning, and installing a replacement, you can decide on the right time to retire an asset to ensure you maximize its value throughout its lifecycle.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Armed with a working definition of engineering assets, we can look at the definition of engineering asset management. But first, there are two quick points of possible confusion to clear up.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">When is asset management not asset management?\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When the assets are purely financial, <a href=\"https:\/\/eptura.com\/our-platform\/asset-management-software\/asset-management-analytics\/\">asset management<\/a> is not asset management. Or, put less poetically, engineering asset management is not the same as financial asset management. Physical assets require hands-on maintenance. Financial assets are often just numbers living on hard drives. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">And when is EAM not EAM?\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You can use EAM as an initialism for engineering asset management in the same way you can call the Central Intelligence Agency the CIA. But EAM is also a closely related software solution that organizations use to get the most value from their assets.<a href=\"https:\/\/eptura.com\/resource\/webinar-3-features-you-need-in-a-manufacturing-enterprise-asset-management-system\/\"> Enterprise asset management software<\/a> is also EAM.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">What is engineering asset management (EAM)?\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">EAM is a multidisciplinary combination of physical asset management, financial considerations, and information technologies.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You start with basic<a href=\"https:\/\/eptura.com\/our-platform\/asset-management-software\/asset-management-analytics\/\"> asset management<\/a>, which is how an organization maximizes its investments in assets, equipment, and facilities. If a company buys equipment that produces tin cans, asset management is the combination of processes and policies the company uses to get the largest number of perfect tin cans with the smallest amounts of time and money. From there, you add financial factors, as well as platforms that facilitate data capture for critical business intelligence. Those three elements together are EAM.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Remember, the associated information technology is often enterprise asset management software. So, EAM the software is a part of the EAM asset management process.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Why engineering asset management is important<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Asset management is pivotal to the operational success of any organization.
