About Global Resources

Global Resources are optional components in an Asset Strategy Optimization Analysis that represents physical parts or materials, such as spare bearings or seals, or human resources, such as mechanics or technicians, that you may want to use within the analysis.

Associating a Resource with an Action or Risk will create a System Resource Usage record, which is linked to the appropriate System Action or System Risk record, which will store information that specifies how the resource will be used (for example, the quantity and duration).
