The Definition Of Asset Management
Many of you have probably heard the term "asset management"
Before, but you may not have an idea of what it really is. Asset
management is a broad term. It can be defined as a process that
guides the gaining of assets, along with their use and disposal
in order to make the most of the assets and their potential
throughout the life of the assets. While doing this, it also
manages and maintains any costs and risks associated with the
assets. It is not something you can buy, but rather a discipline
you must follow in order to maintain your assets.
Asset Management can be used for a variety of things. Most use
asset management to keep track of their cash or "liquid assets."
Banking institutions are considered a form of asset management
(savings accounts, CD's, mutual funds, money market accounts,
etc.) along with investments. Another example of assets:
businesses often have a product to sell. These products are
considered assets. The right asset management system can be
utilized to make the product more readily available, easier to
produce, cheaper to ship to customers, etc.
Asset Management Resource: Tracking and insuring the product is
also a way of asset managagemant. The product is an asset to the
business and essential for its survival and for financial
stability. So, maintaining and managing this product is of the
up most importance.
There is another type of asset that many people do not think of
when they think of the term "asset management." This asset has
to do with public and shared assets such as: the building and
maintaining of streets, highways, water treatment facilities,
sewage, electricity, natural gas, clean air, etc. All of these
are assets that everyone on this earth needs. Usually, your city
or local government uses asset management to maintain the cost
of these assets.
They also use it to produce some of these assets more
effectively and in a more cost
efficient manner. Natural
resources such as: water, electricity, and natural gas are
managed so that they can be renewed constantly and thus
available inexpensively.
Asset Management Resource:
There are many different means of asset management. It often
depends on what type of asset is involved. There are companies
and software products available to assist in asset management.
Whatever method you choose, there are many similar things that
your asset manager system should entail:
1. Optimize asset use and manage all maintenance efforts
involved by making assets as accurate, reliable, and efficient
as possible.
2. Reducing the demand for new assets and thus save money by
using demand management techniques and maintaining current
assets.
3. Uses a form of asset tracking: knowing where the asset is at
all times, how much the asset is worth, and how much the asset
cost you to begin with. It should also incorporate this
throughout the entire life of the asset.
4. Always tries to achieve greater value for money through
evaluating the asset options: the cost of maintaining,
producing, the use of it, etc.
5. Always provides a report on the value of the assets, along
with any costs involved in maintaining the assets.
Hopefully you now have a better understanding of the many forms
of asset management. There are so many different things that can
be defined as assets, thus there are so many different means of
asset management. Now that you understand it a bit, you can
decide what your assets are and how you can maintain them better
in order for them to be more advantageous for you!
