5 Signs Your Critical Assets Are Costing More Than You Think
1. Accessibility: how easy are the assets to get?
2. Productivity: how much time are employees spending obtaining
assets versus doing their jobs?
3. Information: do you know who is using your assets and when, who
is not returning them, and how long the mean time between failure
is?
4. Accountability: do you trust that your employees are treating your
assets as if they were their own?
5. Costs: are you seeing a lot of overtime costs? Repair costs?
Replacement costs?

Accessibility
How easy are the assets to get?
Does it involve walking to a central location, waiting for a manager to provide the asset and log the transaction?
What if all of this could happen in seconds and without the need for a manager?

Information

What do you really know about your assets?
• Do you know where you assets are?
• Do you know who is using them?
• Do you know if they are being returned on time?
• Do you know if they are in good working order?
• Do you know how often they are being repaired?
• Do you know if there are any particular
employees who tend to not return their assets
or not return them on time?
• Do you know if there are particular assets that
are constantly in need of repairs?

Do your employees treat your assets like their own?
“They’re conscious that if a tool is broken or damaged, they let people know
what has happened to it instead of putting it back into the locker without
telling anyone,” Myhill said.
“There’s now some peer pressure to return a tool at the end of a shift instead
of making the next guy search for it. Knowing their name was attached to a
tool led to a significant behavioural change that surprised us.”

5 Signs Your Asset Management is Under Control
1. Accessibility: employees need only seconds to get their assets
2. Productivity: with their assets close by and easily obtained
employees are spending their time doing their work
3. Information: you always know who has which asset, whether an
asset was not returned on time, whether an asset is not working
and so much more
4. Accountability: employees respect the assets they check out
5. Cost Savings: costs of replacement and repair are near zero, and
overtime costs are not due to asset management
