When it comes to defining project deliverables, there is an option to create an asset structure (followed by a functional structure) and an equipment structure.
What are asset structure (also functional structure) and equipment structure in a real business context? Can someone provide an example from the real business world?

Hi Ushani,
A suitable equipment structure has to be created in order to keep proper equipment information and perform efficient maintenance on the equipment in a facility,
All kinds of equipment in the facility, such as machines, machine groups, individual pieces of equipment, e.g., pumps, motors, tanks, furnaces, etc, and also departments, production lines, might be entered as equipment objects.
The object structure could be the actual physical structure with the top object and all the underlying objects shown on various levels. Or, it might be a functional structure where a parent object contains objects of a certain kind.
Functional structure is often the starting point and typically a structure to describe a system in a plant/facility, for example a system/sub system and with physical serial objects (pumps, valves, tanks etc.) on the lowest level. It’s used in order to organize equipment from a plants functional aspect, for example, where equipment is a functional part of systems like: Production Line, Drilling, Feed Water System, Instrument Air System and Waste Water System.
