EAM, or Enterprise Asset Management, is a collection of software, solutions, services, and practices that track and maintain an organization’s assets and equipment. The goal of EAM is to optimize the productivity of assets as well as extend an asset’s lifecycle to further the organization’s investment.
Yes, it can! EAM can track inventory, parts, purchasing, work orders, and costs, and create very simple or extremely complex reports on all the information you track.
The Business Process Review (BPR) is one of the most vital parts of the EAM Implementation Process. It doesn’t matter if you are new to EAM or upgrading from an older version—a business process review is in order. This review will help us identify the asset management areas that are in need of attention and help us strategize the best way to strengthen them. Think of it as a planning stage to lay out your business processes.
Many customers find Process Flow Diagrams very helpful and can be a quick reference for users as they are getting used to EAM. The diagrams have everything our user guides do but in a quicker, easier-to-reference format.
Inboxes and KPIs return metrics on work management, materials, and purchasing. For example, you can see the number of work orders assigned to a specific person and how many requisitions or Purchase Orders need your approval. Additionally, you can see how many PM Work Orders are overdue or the inventory value of your warehouse.
