New White Paper – EAM & CMMS Implementations: Did You Build Your foundation?
Over the last several decades, Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) and Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) implementations have become significantly more complex. The days of installing an application and only using it in maintenance departments are gone. Today, with larger and more complex enterprises, management needs to have near real-time access to data that could affect the company’s ability to produce its product. That, coupled with the need to reduce the cost of production, makes it easy to understand why the systems have become more integrated.
Simply stated, the applications are designed to house data. That data ranges from assets to inventory to craft types and crew makeup and more. Work orders can be tracked from inception through closure and archiving. There are storage mechanisms for material requests, purchase orders, and inventory issues. Collectively it is a lot of data. Historically, these systems were designed in-house or purchased from an industry-specific vendor. In today’s world, however, consistent and reliable data has become a critical component of a company’s success, so maintenance management systems are being incorporated into Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems.
