Reply To: Evaluate the different relationships between the KPA’s from a Asset ID standpoint. Which KPA’s have the most important dependencies?

[Andrea Murschel]

Key dependencies for the Asset Identification Management key process area include:
1) input from the Acquisition Management KPA of the asset itself that enables Asset ID’s physical tagging
2) output to the Documentation Management KPA of the relationship among the asset, the asset identifier, and its documentation through out the asset lifecycle
3) output to the Compliance Management KPA of the asset identifier and its management data in support of audit activities
4) output to the Financial Management KPA of the asset identifier and its management data in support of cost and value management down to the level of individual assets

Additional dependencies for the Asset ID KPA include:
* output to the Acquisition Management, Communications and Education Management, and Disposal Management KPAs of the asset identifier for use in those KPAs activities
* output to the Policy Management KPA of the asset identifier for purposes of associating the asset to the policy scope and rules
* output to the Vendor Management KPA of the asset identifier and its management data in support of vendor evaluation
