kokonaiskoneistosta

Kokonaiskoneisto is a Finnish term that literally translates to “overall machinery” or “entire set of equipment.” It is commonly used to describe the complete collection of machines, vehicles, or other mechanical assets that constitute a particular operation, enterprise, or system. The word is often combined with other nouns to indicate specific domains, such as “tavarankuljetuskokonaiskoneisto” for a transport fleet or “teollisuuskokonaiskoneisto” for an industrial machinery set.

In commercial and industrial contexts, kokonaiskoneisto refers to both owned and leased equipment that is essential for executing business processes. Companies use the term to account for capital expenditures, maintenance schedules, depreciation, and asset management strategies. In transportation, a kokonaiskoneisto typically includes trucks, trailers, railcars, and associated support vehicles, and it is key to logistics planning and regulatory compliance. Military usage of the term expands to include all operationally relevant hardware—tanks, artillery, communication gear, and support installations—under a unified command structure.

The concept aligns with asset management frameworks such as the International Standard ISO 55000, which stresses the importance of viewing assets as integrated wholes, rather than isolated components. Finnish researchers and industry practitioners therefore emphasize kokonaiskoneisto to promote efficiency, reduce redundancy, and optimize utilization rates, citing studies that show significant cost savings when transitioning to comprehensive machinery oversight.
