Efficiency lies in communication and this is especially important between the accounting office personnel and facility operations departments tracking the assets on the balance sheet as well as in day-to-day use. Knowing the assets in possession, the current operating condition, the life expectancy and the capital assets replacement budget keeps operating equipment in shape up to the day it becomes obsolete. This double prong tracking will also show a savings on purchases and higher profits for the company.
Integration of activities between two departments has its benefits and the biggest one is adherence to the confines of the capital account asset replacement budget. When the accounting department is able to plan for maintenance or replacement of large operational pieces of equipment on a predefined schedule, balancing the budget also helps to solidify the integrity of having a budget at all.

Plus, advance assignments for the day help to keep an optimal level of performance in the workplace.
