livscykeladministration

Livscykeladmin is a cross-domain discipline focused on coordinating and governing the full life cycle of an asset, product, or service from initial concept through retirement. The term is used in information technology, manufacturing, and service industries to describe a governance framework that integrates strategy, design, implementation, operations, and decommissioning. Central to livscykeladmin are processes for planning, data management, and control, along with defined roles and use of tools to track changes, configuration, and performance across stages.

Key components include a lifecycle model with stages such as conceptualization, development or procurement, deployment, operation, maintenance, and end-of-life planning; policy frameworks; a configuration management database or equivalent; metrics and reviews; and automation where feasible. Governance structures typically address risk, compliance, budgeting, and stakeholder alignment, ensuring that decisions are well-documented and auditable throughout the cycle.

Benefits include improved visibility into costs and risks, better compliance with regulatory requirements, streamlined decision-making, and longer asset value through coordinated upgrades and retirements. Challenges commonly involve data silos, inconsistent data quality, integration between diverse tools, changing regulations, and cultural resistance to process-heavy governance.

Livscykeladmin intersects with asset lifecycle management, IT service management, and product lifecycle management, and it emphasizes cross-organizational collaboration, traceability, and documented decision records. The approach aims to harmonize disparate activities under a cohesive governance model to optimize value and reduce waste across the asset’s or product’s lifespan.
