to process and function effectively.
• Loss of single apparatus might cause obstruction or hindrance in the
overall functioning (Crespo Márquez et al, 2016).
• Most significant assets of Innovative Electronic Corporation include
printing machine, plating machines, etching machine, laminating
matching, image transfer equipment, delivery vehicles, gear box,
billing machine, processing machine, solder mask printing appliance,
pressing machine, cash handling appliance, engine and electro motors,
tin stripping appliance, lead stripping appliance

Continued
• The physical assets are directly linked to the operational process of the company
• 10 most critical assets of the firm involve machineries and equipment directly
related to the production process
• Printing, laminating, plating and drilling machine, etching machine, laminating
appliance, solder mask printing appliance, gear box and electro motor
• Appropriate strategies are implemented so as to maintain the above crucial
assets.

A s s e t U n i t
• Asset units is used to describe the asset and its type
• The most significant unit is the quantity of assets that are used for the process
flow
• Asset units are the value which is assigned to each asset of the firm
• Based on these units, the type of assets can be determined
• Different units include Kilogram, number of units, etc.

Factors for Replacing or Repairing
Complex Reachable Item (CRI)
• Most complex reachable item is gear box which is of immense use in the factory
• Gear boxes serve as the fundamental asset of the firm
• It supports the significant functions of the companies
• Making decisions with regard to the replacement or repairment of the complex
reachable items is difficult task (White, 2015).
• Gears used for specified actions in the process flow are generally kept into the gear
boxes.

Contd
• The cost of repairing of gear box is generally found to be proportionate to the
replacement cost.
• The proportionality makes it difficult for decision making
• The cost of replacement and cost of repairing is compared to each other to make
repairing or replacement decision (Yang et al, 2017).
• Quality of the activities help to take such an essential step (Yang et al, 2017).

C o n t r o l l i n g t h e R o t a b l e s
• Rotables are units or part of assets removable from that unit of property
• Rotables forms a significant part for the organization
• It merely encompasses repairs as well as replacement of the parts of the physical assets rather than replacemen
• Purpose of the organization is to maintain operational systems
• Innovative Electronic Corporation performs analytical method to distinguish between rotables or replaceables
• Controlling the rotables involve three major steps (figure)
• The company use inventory management system to know about the items required
• Equipment necessary for controlling the rotables are taken into consideration
• Rebuilding process is continued for repairing and managing the rotables.
