The third part of the EquipNet toolkit series looks at the company’s Asset Redeployment Management System.
EquipNet’s proactive approach to asset management is improving utilisation of expensive instruments and equipment and releasing cash in many biotechnology, pharmaceutical, chemical and food companies around the world.
To do this, a business must have visibility of its idle and surplus assets.
Knowing what equipment is not in use and where it is currently located means the work of redeployment and sale can begin.
At the core of this methodology is a proprietary Asset Redeployment Management System (ARMS).
This web-based software package can be securely implemented behind a company firewall and accessed from any facility within an organisation.
ARMS provides a central asset database and gives full visibility of surplus equipment located in research, laboratory or production facilities.
This dynamic system delivers fully integrated workflow tools so that users can: post, track, find, redeploy, or release for sale any equipment that is not being used in its current location.
ARMS is installed in almost 4,000 facilities worldwide, and has more than 9,800 registered users.
EquipNet can customise ARMS to suit individual company requirements.
The workflow system provides a documented audit trail that demonstrates compliance if required.
The software can also be used to streamline communication within a company. Email updates on available equipment are generated automatically and integrated tracking and measuring tools record data on system usage.
