Main Description

This team creates and uses Asset Specifications to create and maintain assets. The intended scope of the team should be defined. Will the team be responsible for creating assets for the declared reuse scope at the enterprise level or the divisional level? Will the team create the assets, or is the purpose of the team to clean up assets and prepare them for reuse?

Directly associated with the scope of the Asset Manufacturing Teams is the manufacturing process. There are several models to consider. These models use the basic producer and consumer model for assets. The premise is that an organization is focused on the creation of assets and another organization is focused on the usage of assets.

In more mature organizations, the assets having a wider scope and impact are developed by special teams as part of an Asset Manufacturing Center or Excellence Center. This role captures the responsibilities and the tasks performed by these development groups with regard to the asset production.

The image below describes such an organization which has a clean split between the asset production and the asset consumption aspects of its development practices:
