The matrix should remain readable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Controlled Status Values<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Free-text status fields make comparison difficult. Use controlled values wherever practical, but keep each status tied to the process that defines it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Availability status<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Available<\/li>\n<li>Partially available<\/li>\n<li>Temporarily unavailable<\/li>\n<li>Out of service<\/li>\n<li>Decommissioned<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Availability should describe whether the asset can provide normal service. It should not be confused with occupancy or allocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maintenance status<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>No open action<\/li>\n<li>Inspection required<\/li>\n<li>Work order open<\/li>\n<li>Awaiting parts<\/li>\n<li>Repair scheduled<\/li>\n<li>Work complete &#8211; review pending<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The detailed work-order state should remain in CAFM or the local maintenance system. The matrix only needs the current summary state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lifecycle status<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The matrix should record the lifecycle conclusion produced elsewhere, rather than calculate it itself. Possible controlled values might include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Retain<\/li>\n<li>Repair under review<\/li>\n<li>Refurbishment review<\/li>\n<li>Replacement review<\/li>\n<li>Approved for replacement<\/li>\n<li>Decommissioning<\/li>\n<li>Closed \/ removed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exact controlled values should match the organisation&#8217;s lifecycle process. Do not create conflicting categories in the matrix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Condition Status Should Come From the Audit Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old approach of putting an independent 1-to-5 condition model inside the matrix creates a second scoring system. That should be avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The matrix should instead record the latest approved condition label from <a href=\"\/blog\/locker-estate-audit-uk\/\">Locker Estate Audit UK<\/a> or the organisation&#8217;s established physical-inspection process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This keeps the status matrix descriptive rather than diagnostic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Replacement Priority Should Not Be Calculated in the Matrix<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Likewise, the matrix should not invent Low, Medium, High or Critical replacement scores unless those values already exist in an approved lifecycle or replacement process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lifecycle decision should be produced by <a href=\"\/blog\/locker-lifecycle-management-systems-uk\/\">Locker Lifecycle Management Systems UK<\/a>. If a replacement programme has been approved, the project status can then be referenced from <a href=\"\/blog\/locker-replacement-planning-uk\/\">Locker Replacement Planning UK<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Example Locker Asset Lifecycle Status Matrix<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The example below shows how the matrix can present current status without making new decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th scope=\"col\">Asset ID<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Location<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Availability<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Condition status<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Maintenance status<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Lifecycle status<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Action owner<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Next review<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody>\n<tr><td>HQ-F1-CHG-001<\/td><td>Head Office \/ Staff Changing<\/td><td>Available<\/td><td>Serviceable<\/td><td>No open action<\/td><td>Retain<\/td><td>Facilities<\/td><td>Next planned review<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>SCH-B2-COR-045<\/td><td>School \/ Block 2 Corridor<\/td><td>Partially available<\/td><td>Repair required<\/td><td>Work order open<\/td><td>Repair under review<\/td><td>Site FM<\/td><td>After repair<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>NHS-W3-STF-022<\/td><td>Healthcare \/ Staff Area<\/td><td>Available<\/td><td>Serviceable<\/td><td>No open action<\/td><td>Retain<\/td><td>Estates<\/td><td>Next planned review<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>IND-A-PPE-064<\/td><td>Industrial \/ PPE Area<\/td><td>Temporarily unavailable<\/td><td>Major repair required<\/td><td>Inspection required<\/td><td>Refurbishment review<\/td><td>Maintenance<\/td><td>After inspection<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>LEI-WET-118<\/td><td>Leisure \/ Wet Changing<\/td><td>Out of service<\/td><td>Replacement review<\/td><td>Work complete &#8211; review pending<\/td><td>Approved for replacement<\/td><td>Project lead<\/td><td>Project review<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The example labels are illustrative. Organisations should use the controlled values already defined in their Audit, CAFM and Lifecycle processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Evidence Reference Is a Critical Field<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A matrix becomes unreliable when a status cannot be traced back to supporting evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Audit reference<\/li>\n<li>CAFM work-order number<\/li>\n<li>Photograph or inspection reference<\/li>\n<li>Lifecycle review reference<\/li>\n<li>Replacement project reference<\/li>\n<li>Governance decision reference<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The matrix should show the current result while the detailed evidence remains in its source system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Last Reviewed and Next Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every matrix row should show when its status was last confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next review can be expressed as a date or a trigger, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>After repair<\/li>\n<li>After physical audit<\/li>\n<li>After refurbishment<\/li>\n<li>At project handover<\/li>\n<li>At next estate review<\/li>\n<li>On change of availability status<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A fixed calendar date is not always necessary if a clear event trigger is more useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Action Owner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The matrix should show who owns the current next step. That may be a role rather than a named individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Local facilities team<\/li>\n<li>Central estates<\/li>\n<li>Maintenance contractor<\/li>\n<li>Site manager<\/li>\n<li>Lifecycle reviewer<\/li>\n<li>Project lead<\/li>\n<li>Procurement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ownership should match the current action. It does not necessarily mean that role owns the locker asset permanently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avoid Conflicting Statuses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A common matrix problem is combining statuses that contradict each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th scope=\"col\">Conflict<\/th><th scope=\"col\">What to check<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody>\n<tr><td>Availability = Available, but maintenance says Out of service<\/td><td>Which source is current?<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Lifecycle = Retain, but replacement project is active<\/td><td>Was the lifecycle decision updated?<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Condition = Serviceable, but recurring critical faults are open<\/td><td>Is the condition assessment outdated?<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Asset marked Decommissioned, but occupancy still active<\/td><td>Has the occupancy record been closed?<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not resolve conflicts by guessing.

The status matrix presents a smaller set of current status fields for review and coordination.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">Should the matrix calculate locker condition scores?<\/h3>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"><div itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>No. The matrix should record the latest approved condition status from the estate audit or physical-inspection process rather than create a competing scoring model.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">Should the matrix decide replacement priority?<\/h3>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"><div itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>No. The lifecycle process should decide whether an asset should be retained, repaired, refurbished, reviewed for replacement or decommissioned. The matrix records that current conclusion.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">Can the matrix be maintained in a spreadsheet?<\/h3>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"><div itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>Yes. A spreadsheet can work well where it uses stable asset IDs, controlled status lists, consistent dates, evidence references and a clear update process.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">What does the evidence reference field do?<\/h3>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"><div itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>It links the matrix status back to the source evidence such as an audit, CAFM ticket, lifecycle review, project record or governance decision.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">How often should the matrix be reviewed?<\/h3>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"><div itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>Review should follow meaningful changes in the underlying status or an agreed estate-review cycle.

Keep detailed records with Asset Management, physical diagnosis with Estate Audit, maintenance execution with CAFM and intervention decisions with Lifecycle Management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result is a matrix that is easier to maintain, easier to audit and less likely to conflict with the specialist systems that already own the underlying evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A locker asset lifecycle status matrix is a structured management table used to track locker condition, occupancy, maintenance history and replacement priority across a site or estate.
