The PETRO Process
Bardess’ Asset Management Process, PETRO, is the Foundation for end-to-end asset
management.
P - Pre-inventory review and validation of company assets, spares, inventory
installed base records and required reference data. Establish framework for conducting
the inventory/network audit. Establish a baseline for comparisons.
E - Acquisition of data from physical inventories, automated network discovery
tools or record extracts in various formats.
T - Interpret, map and restate data from acquisition format to a format that
may be matched to the Company’s baseline data.
R - Validate the inventory results to the baseline - Matching and Validation
of inventory results to the Company’s record baseline and the generation of associated
user reports.
O - Process of assimilating data into corporate systems. Conversion of reconciled
data into identifiable data elements with attributes and values consistent with
Company data requirements and definitions. Integration of transformed data into
unique, consolidated, identifiable data instances meeting the business data requirements.
Loading of transformed, integrated source data into Company’s records.
Data Maintenance
The success of asset management programs in the long-term is directly related to
the quality of the ongoing data maintenance program at the key internal and external
touch points. Processes and systems interfaces are designed for the ongoing update
and assimilation of data to Company databases through the identified touch points
where asset data is updated or changed.
