    5 Lifecycle Stages

    Track Every Asset from Purchase to Disposal

    Complete Lifecycle Visibility. Total Cost Control.

    AssetLab tracks assets through five lifecycle stages using straight-line depreciation, calculates total cost of ownership including maintenance and parts, and forecasts 10-year replacement needs. Know exactly when to replace, how much it'll cost, and whether to repair or retire.

    The Hidden Costs of Poor Lifecycle Tracking

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

    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 and cost implications.

    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 uses straight-line depreciation to calculate annual depreciation, accumulated depreciation, and net book value (NBV) for every asset.

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

    Lifecycle vs Condition Matrix

    AssetLab plots every asset by lifecycle stage (depreciation %) vs current condition score. Different quadrants require different actions.

    Total Cost of Ownership

    Know Your True Costs

    Purchase price is just the beginning. AssetLab tracks all costs across the entire lifecycle to calculate true Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

    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. AssetLab tracks every dollar so you know true ownership costs.

    Lifecycle Management in Action

    Real scenarios showing how lifecycle tracking prevents premature replacement and optimizes TCO.

    Manufacturing Plant

    Production equipment at 85% depreciated but condition score 75/100. Lifecycle analysis shows well-maintained assets can run 5 more years. Decision: Extend life vs $2.8M premature replacement. Saved $2.8M by optimizing to 100% lifecycle.

    Healthcare System

    Medical devices at 40% depreciated, condition 25/100. TCO analysis shows repair costs at 35% of purchase cost annually. Repair vs replace calculator: Replacement justified at 15% annual cost threshold. Replaced early, avoided $180k in future repairs.

    Municipal Fleet

    Fleet vehicles tracked with lifecycle %, condition scores, and maintenance costs. 10-year forecast identifies 47 vehicles reaching end-of-life in Year 3, requiring $4.2M capital. Council approves funding 2 years early based on forecast.

    Commercial Property

    HVAC equipment depreciation tracking shows 15 units at 95%+ lifecycle. TCO analysis: Maintenance costs 28% of purchase annually. Lifecycle quadrant analysis identifies all 15 in "Replace Now" zone. Bulk replacement scheduled, preventing emergency failures.

    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. The ROI was immediate."

    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 or deferred replacements."

    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%. The numbers don't lie."

    Facilities Manager, Healthcare Campus
