Personal Property Lifecycle

Property Lifecycle Components

Personal property management requires a lifecycle approach to be effective.  There are four major phases in the personal property lifecycle: acquisition, receipt, utilization, and disposal. Each phase has distinct processes and procedures associated with it to maintain proper stewardship of the Department’s assets.  If the processes and procedures in one phase are not followed, it makes it difficult to establish and maintain accountability in the subsequent phase.
