If you were looking for information as to how to look your best at the local Gym, this article isn’t for you. However, if you work at the local Gym, and need to manage physical assets, meaning the tools of the business, you’re at exactly the right place! To a degree, in order to manage physical assets, it is necessary to employ some of the best practices you would find at any gym. Basically, those would be - keep the equipment clean, know who’s using it, know who used it last, know who checked it out, know who can be trusted to wipe down the bench press after they used it and not walk off with free weights in their sport bag, know which pulley needs replacing - those types of things. In order to manage physical assets for any business, you first have to know what needs to be managed, then come up with a process to do so.
The beginning step is to ID the physical assets in some way. Before can track assets, they must first be identified. This could be as simple as etching or engraving an asset number onto the item, but that’s going to look a bit tacky and, practically speaking, if you want to document it, you’re going to have to trust someone to write it down correctly. I don’t know about you, but I transpose numbers and letters all the time – thank goodness for spellcheckers. Barcode technology has been around for years and is a proven method for tagging just about any physical asset. Best of all, with a barcode label and a barcode scanner to read the label, there are no mistakes!
Now that the physical asset has been tagged, the fun can begin. In order to truly manage physical assets, a method to document and manage the information on the physical asset is required.
