c. Commissioning - At this stage of the asset life cycle, it is assigned to a
location, user or group of users. The cost of operating the asset is now
attributed the owner of the asset. Also, asset availability is now the
responsibility of the owner. This includes maintaining the asset regularly to
ensure the asset is up and running whenever business needs it. The
various activities that are typically undertaken at this point are Work

d. Retirement - Some enterprises call this decommissioning too, this is the
stage where an enterprise decides to replace or remove the asset.
However, the importance of this stage from an enterprise asset
management perspective is to be able to calculate the residual cost of the
asset and also in certain cases being able to transfer parts of the asset to
another asset. For instance, say few months ago someone just replaced a
critical and expensive part of an asset because of a fault and that part can
now be re-used since it not very old but is expensive.

reason for having Enterprise Asset Management as a dedicated function within
an organization which encompasses purchasing, engineering, accounting and
maintenance management.
