Your pump is fine.
Your data is leaking.

The pocket field guide.
Six checks. Fewer wild goose chases.01Completeness
Is the required information present? An asset without a location turns a work order into a treasure hunt. Define required fields by asset class.
02Uniqueness
Is one physical asset represented once? Duplicate records can split maintenance history. Verify identity before merging and preserve the audit trail.
03Validity
Does the value follow the rules? Check permitted values, formats, ranges and units. Passing a format check does not prove a value is true.
04Consistency
Do systems describe the asset in compatible ways? Agree on shared codes and mappings so “in service” in one system is not “retired” in another.
05Timeliness
Is the record current enough for the decision? Capture changes when assets move or change state. Set review periods based on risk and use.
06Accuracy
Does the record match reality? Compare critical attributes with trusted evidence, such as verified nameplates or field inspections.
Clean data isn't glamorous. Finding the right pump is.
