  • Determine The Asset Life Cycle: By analyzing the performance of assets, the life cycle of assets can be predicted in advance. There might be some resources that have exceeded their time limit of generating up-to-the-mark results but are still used by the employees. This can directly impact the efficiency and productivity of the organization. It is better to identify the items which need to be discarded and the new items that need to be purchased.
