This document outlines the state machine for managing lifecycle events of network assets under the Operations Agreement. It covers the various stages assets will traverse during new installations, Moves, Adds, Changes, and Disconnections (MACDs), and other operational processes.

The state machine is an essential tool for visualizing and managing the states that an asset can occupy from the moment it becomes part of the network, through various operational activities, and ultimately to its decommissioning or repurposing. This document will serve as a guide for understanding how assets are tracked and managed through their lifecycle.

The asset lifecycle within the Operations Agreement encompasses several key states, which will be illustrated in the state machine diagram placeholder provided below. These states include, but are not limited to:

Each state is crucial in the lifecycle of an asset and represents a different stage in the operational process managed by the Operator under the agreement.

Below is the placeholder for the state machine diagram, which will visually represent the transitions between the states described above.

Each transition from one state to another in the asset lifecycle is triggered by specific actions or events. These may include:

The development of the state machine diagram will follow the operations agreement’s specifications and will be constructed using a diagramming tool that is compatible with the asciidoc format. Once completed, the diagram will provide a clear and concise view of asset state transitions and serve as a reference for understanding the asset management process.

Understanding the state machine for asset management in the operations agreement is vital for ensuring that all stakeholders have a clear understanding of the processes involved in maintaining the network. The finalized state machine diagram will provide a valuable tool for overseeing and optimizing these processes.
