Assign to the field
Field Equipment Accountability teaches asset teams how to control field equipment movement, site custody, proof, approvals, and return discipline. In AWRA, assets are accountable objects: they have identity, condition, custodian, location, movement history, and evidence.
The practical habit is to avoid treating assets like anonymous stock. Once an item becomes accountable equipment, every assignment, movement, condition change, or audit result should explain who had custody and why.
In practice, a generator is assigned to a construction site with custodian, GPS proof, condition photo, and expected return date. The flow below shows the core asset path users should understand before acting.
Field equipment path
Assign
Equipment is linked to site, custodian, and purpose.
Move
Transfer or relocation is approved and recorded.
Verify
GPS, photo, or scan proves field presence.
Use
Condition and service issues are recorded.
Return
Asset comes back or custody is extended.
Asset model
- Field assets need site accountability.
- Proof reduces disputes across locations.
- Approvals protect high-value movements.
- Return discipline prevents drift.
