The Hidden Costs of Poor Lifecycle Tracking

Without lifecycle visibility, you're flying blind on replacement timing and true costs.

Premature Replacement

$2.8M wasted

Replacing assets at 70% lifecycle instead of optimizing to 100%

Unknown True Costs

40% hidden

Maintenance, parts, and energy costs not tracked—TCO unknown

No Replacement Plan

$15M unfunded

Assets hit end-of-life with no capital budget—emergency scrambles

The Five Lifecycle Stages

AssetLab automatically calculates lifecycle stage using straight-line depreciation. Each stage has different management priorities.

Mid-Life Assets (25-50% Depreciated)

Assets in prime operating years. Routine maintenance established, performance stable, cost-effective operation.

Priorities
Consistent PM execution, performance monitoring, TCO tracking
Typical Costs
Moderate maintenance (5-10% of purchase), predictable expenses
Straight-Line Depreciation

Understand Your Asset Book Value

AssetLab calculates annual depreciation, accumulated depreciation, and net book value for every asset.

Asset Details

Depreciation Formula
Annual Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage) / Lifetime
= ($100,000 - $5,000) / 20 years = $4,750/year

Total Cost of Ownership

Know Your True Costs

Purchase price is just the beginning. AssetLab tracks all costs across the entire lifecycle.

Purchase & Installation

Original purchase cost plus delivery, installation, commissioning, training, and startup expenses

Typical TCO Impact
100% baseline

Preventive Maintenance

Scheduled PM labor, inspections, lubrication, calibration, and routine servicing over asset life

Typical TCO Impact
40-60% of purchase

Repairs & Parts

Emergency repairs, component replacements, spare parts inventory, and corrective maintenance costs

Typical TCO Impact
30-50% of purchase

Energy & Utilities

Electricity, fuel, water, compressed air, and other operational energy costs over lifetime

Typical TCO Impact
50-200% of purchase

Downtime Costs

Lost production, revenue loss, overtime labor, and expedited shipping during failures

Typical TCO Impact
20-40% of purchase

Disposal & Replacement

Decommissioning, disposal fees, environmental compliance, salvage recovery, and removal costs

Typical TCO Impact
5-15% of purchase
TCO is 2-4× Purchase Price

A $100,000 asset typically costs $200,000-$400,000 over its lifetime when you include maintenance, repairs, energy, downtime, and disposal.

Lifecycle Tracking That Pays Off

"Lifecycle tracking showed we were replacing equipment at 70% depreciation when it could safely run to 100%. We extended asset life by 8 years on average, saving $4.2M in premature replacements."

Patricia Martinez
VP of Operations, Manufacturing Facility
$4.2M Saved

"The 10-year replacement forecast was a game-changer for capital planning. We could see exactly when assets would reach end-of-life and budget accordingly. No more emergency funding requests."

David Liu
Finance Director, Municipal Government
10-Year Visibility

"TCO tracking revealed maintenance costs were 32% of purchase price annually for some equipment—way above the 15% replacement threshold. We replaced 8 assets early and cut maintenance costs 65%."

Amanda Foster
Facilities Manager, Healthcare Campus
65% Cost Reduction

Track Every Stage. Optimize Every Dollar.

Extend asset life by 30%, prevent premature replacements, and make data-driven lifecycle decisions.
