Mobile asset management is managing availability and serviceability of assets used to move, store, secure, protect and control inventory within the enterprise and along the supply chain or in conjunction with service providing. Mobile assets are e.g. of the classes of * returnable, reusable containers used to transport raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods through the supply chain. * precious tools and apparatuses used in technical services and required for proper performing such services with fully valid certification * any other objects of a value that justifies additional tagging for the purpose of managing the object and its availability * any other objects with a certification that terminates after certain time which justifies the controlled return for next inspection * persons under special threat on site of operation. * Rental companies are increasingly turning to asset tracking for all larger pieces of equipment in order to manage theft,〔https://www.ararental.org/government/theft.aspx asset tracking.. cost of thefts〕〔http://www.nerusa.com/Rental.asp why rental fleets are particularly vulnerable to theft〕 misuse of assets and to assist in the management of Preventive maintenance == Tracking mobile assets == The business justification to invest in asset tracking capability is usually the risk of loss. This can be loss of the asset directly, or loss of the ability to render service to customers that is enabled by the asset. For example, the business may have a few critical tools, and the loss of just one of these tools would significantly degrade the ability to perform necessary work. Thus, the assets being tracked may a) have specific quantifiable capital value or b) general aggregate operational value. Examples for such assets include * beer kegs, * intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) used in the food and chemical industries, * racks for glass and automotive parts, * unit load devices (ULDs) used in the airline industry. * Line-replaceable unit LRUs of in-field operational installations * rolling cages, * collapsible aluminum containers for raw materials, * portable surgical instruments * medical devices in hospitals and subject of repetitive certification. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mobile asset management」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
