Abstract

ABC International Inc. is a leading contractor along significant mining and offshore operations. It owns a huge count of equipment, which is more than 32,000, and the count is increasing with expanding business. Equipment managers are currently required to find and append all the details of equipment at different locations manually. This takes lot of time and effort. Also the accuracy of the data is also a challenge in some situations. This should be handled through an automated system called Optimization of asset allocation where an equipment inventory report is generated which includes all equipment attributes. This can be achieved through SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services).
