Detailing

An Asset for a Stakeholder is not necessarily owned by that Stakeholder.

Notes

1. Some Assets can give rise to Resources.

Examples:
NON-REUSABLE/CONSUMABLE Assets WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE RESOURCES

||ASSET|RESOURCE (RESOURCE Attribute)|A UNIT OF Measure FOR BOTH Asset AND RESOURCE
TIME|Elapsed Time|Hours
WAREHOUSE STOCK|Raw Material|Quantity/Day
STAFF|Effort|Work Hours
OFFICERS|Room Availability|Square Meters/Day
Financial Credibility|Credit/Loan/Low Interest|Money||


2. Assets can be owned and upgraded.

Examples:
“REUSABLE”/UPDATABLE Assets:
• DATAFILES/DATABASES: Input Data
Standards DOCUMENTATION: Standards
• STAFF: Knowledge
• OFFICES: Room Space

3. Processes can modify Assets: they can create Assets, and they can upgrade Assets.

4. Assets can also get transformed by a Process into some other thing: an upgraded Asset or better performance, improved Functionality, etc. For example, sell knowledge (an Asset) and get financial Resource.
