1. A method for enabling asset units to accomplish a healthcare facility management objective, wherein each asset unit carries a durable information identifier; the method comprising the steps of:
preparing asset units in a pre-processing phase by using a computational processor to determine a first unique identifier for each asset unit, wherein each asset unit is a physical asset unit and wherein the computational processor to determine the first unique identifier is part of a computer system having the computational processor and memory;
physically transporting the prepared asset units in a removal phase, to a manufacturer location;
retrofitting the prepared asset units in a manufacturing phase at the manufacturer location by applying manufacturing processes to implement the durable information identifier on each asset unit, and by using a computational processor to determine a second unique identifier for each asset unit, wherein the computational processor to determine the second unique identifier is part of a computer system having the computational processor and memory; and
physically transporting the prepared asset units in a return phase, from the manufacturer location to a healthcare facility where the retrofitted asset units are subsequently used for a healthcare facility management objective.
