# Asset

### Overview

Asset refers to anything that is used in the production process to create a finished product and has value to the organisation. Assets in a production setting can include physical resources such as machinery, equipment, buildings or well as intangible resources like the **Site** and production lines

A typical asset structure in TilliT is **Site** -> **(Line of Area)** -> **Equipment**. But knowing the potential user's requirement of nested asset hierarchy, TilliT DO also provided an additional layer for the "Area" asset definition to address the complexities.

An asset should be created when:

* You measure progress, availability, and performance.
* You are assigning tasks against a physical area
