Abstract/
Summary |
The importance of asset configuration management is increasingly recognised as customers demand safer, higher-quality and lower-priced products. However, traditional configuration management systems have often proved inefficient for managing maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) data because they represent only the last asset configuration. This paper proposes therefore to analyse the current status of the approaches dealing with asset configuration management (ACM) issues. Moreover, the emergence of automated identification and data capture technologies such as RFID and sensors could greatly improve asset configuration management and in a broader way the asset lifecycle management. The concept of active asset configuration management is therefore introduced. |
