2. Nomenclature

Definition

In order to maintain a company's assets, it is first necessary to know their nature and importance. All company assets must therefore be inventoried, classified and codified according to the most appropriate criteria. It is the nomenclature that will formalize this inventory. Of course, if only for tax purposes, every company already has a valued inventory of its fixed assets in the accounting sense of the term. However, this "accounting inventory" rarely meets maintenance requirements. This is why, within a company and in agreement with the management departments, maintenance managers are led to establish the "maintenance" nomenclature of the assets for which they are responsible.
