This diagram depicts the Level 3 process flow for Subprocess 4.1.6 – Conduct Periodic Asset Assessment, which begins with a connector from Subprocess 4.1.1 – Create or Update Asset Record and its output titled “Asset record.” The flow continues to Activity 4.1.6.1 – Compile Asset Listing, which results in the output titled “Asset listing.”

The flow continues to Activity 4.1.6.2 – Conduct Asset Assessment. Activity 4.1.6.2 – Conduct Asset Assessment has two other inputs:

  • The first is “Approved investment plan and budget,” which flows from a connector from Business Process 1.1 – Manage Planning and Budgeting; and
  • The second is “Asset count results,” which flows from a connector for Subprocess 4.1.5 – Conduct Periodic Physical Asset Count.

The flow continues to Activity 4.1.6.3 – Validate Findings, which results in the output titled “Asset assessment results.” “Asset assessment results” flows to a connector for Business Process 1.1 – Manage Planning and Budgeting.
