Classification Structure

Below is a representation of the asset classification structure within the Metrix Asset Management System. Each asset classification structure is broken into four levels being asset class, asset type, asset sub-type, and asset group. Each of these levels are hierarchical in that:

  • Asset classes contain one or more asset types,
  • Asset types contain one or more asset sub-types, and
  • Asset sub-types contain one or more asset group.

Each asset in your Metrix Asset Management System will be assigned to an asset classification at the asset group level. Then, within the asset group definition is one or more component group definitions. Each component assigned to the asset will be ascribed to one of these component groups.

Example

The following is an example of an Asset Class, Asset Type, Asset SubType, Asset Group, and Component Group represented as a string:

Transportation - Road Infrastructure - Local Roads - Sealed Roads - Surface

A Component in the above Component Group would be associated with a Sealed Local Road in the Entities Road Infrastructure Transportation Asset stock.
