the concerned HOD’s to re-work the evaluation to contain the favourable / unfavourable bias
and/or to attain the normal desirable bell shaped curve.

 The Summaries of the Appraisal shall be made in two categories – (i) Below Manager level; and
(ii) Manager & Sr Manager level; and send to Vice President – HR (Corporate) under confidential
cover. Functional/Unit Head need to ensure that inter-departmental consistency and bell-
shape curve for Rating distribution have been maintained. The Summary is to be presented to

Procurement Deployment Usage Decommission

Upgrade Salvage

Disposal
Asset Lifecycle

The first phase in the Asset Lifecycle is Procurement. When an asset is procured, it enters the
asset management system and begins to be managed. Ideally, the procurement system should
feed the asset management system the data on the new asset as soon as the Purchase Order
Prepared by Approvd by Date
Kamlesh Verma MD
Title Document No. Edition No.
HR Manual ALPS/HR Manual R0

is completed and the receiving organization should acknowledge receipt in a way that confirms
the asset in the Asset Management system and notifies the purchasing system so that payment
can be made.

The second phase of the Asset Lifecycle is Deployment. When an asset is deployed, the
system should be updated with relevant data such as location, responsible party in the
organization, configuration, vendor, warranty / AMC, Insurance and any other data that will be
useful in managing the asset. The location may be a physical location or simply a link to some
other asset that contains the asset being deployed

The third phase of the Asset Lifecycle is Usage. Usage is not simply a static flag but could be
redeployment of asset if it is not being used.

From time to time, the asset in question might be upgraded in some way.

When an asset is no longer being used, it is Decommissioned. Decommissioned assets may


still be useful to the organization, in which case they can be redeployed.

If not, they are likely to have some Salvage value and the asset management system should
track them until salvage has been completed and the asset is disposed.

The Data Retention Policy is useful that deal with the issue of maintaining information for a pre-
determined period of time. Different types of data require different lengths of retention. In

22. Power Consumption Optimization

Computers and computer peripherals consume dramatic amounts of electricity every year,
draining the budget and contributing to greenhouse gases.
IT energy consumption represent between 10% and 30% of an organization’s overall energy
consumption.

Here are a handful of ways to economize the power consumption and save money while saving
the environment and the mother earth:

a) Switch off PCs and avoid overuse:

A running computer consumes between 195 and 305 watts, while a computer in suspend mode
can consume as little as 10 watts.

b) Use a Power Strip.

Peripherals (like printers, audio systems, monitors) should be plugged into a power strip or UPS
which can be turned off when these equipments are not in use.

c) Lose the brick.

Once the laptop or notebook computer is fully charged, unplugging the recharger from the wall
will save some electricity. As long as the computer is in suspend mode or some other low- or
no-power mode, it won't need to be plugged in again for hours.

d) Lose the CRT.

LCD monitors use 60% less electricity than the older CRT type. In case of any CRT monitor,
users should get in the habit of turning off the CRT's power switch every time leaving the
workstation for more than a few minutes.

e) Check power saving options.

Printer or external hard drives should have power-saving modes.
