Use in Asset Management 
In the area of asset management, supply chain event management (SCEM) is primarily concerned with high-value, movable assets (for example containers, cylinders, or vehicles). On the one hand, the life cycle of these assets including the owners, conditions, and location needs to be managed. On the other hand, these assets contain and transport goods. These goods each represent a separate process to be monitored: from the customer purchase order through packing, loading into an asset, and shipment to the customer all the way to unloading the asset, and returning and cleaning it. The processes come to an end as soon as the customer pays.
Example Life Cycle of a Gas Cylinder
You fill the new or empty gas cylinder and add it to your stock.
The customer orders the number of gas cylinders that are required and you retrieve the appropriate number.
The customer receives the filled gas cylinders and returns them to your depot once they are empty.
