Intelligent Transformer Management: A New Perspective

by Alan Ross

Why do we need a new perspective? Consider the following actual case scenario. The story you are about to read is true. The facts and circumstances are real. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent (or “ignorant” depending on how you want to look at it).

This article will focus on the integration between CMMS modules that serve maintenance, mainly work order, inventory and purchasing.

Work Prioritization: Emotion vs. Logic

by George Mahoney

A Supervisor's Typical Morning

Its 7 a.m. and Rich's head is already spinning. He hasn't even finished his first cup of coffee and already three different customers have screamed at him. While the customers are from three completely different business areas, they have two things in common:

They each have an "emergency" that needs to be taken care of right now.

They each refer to themselves as THE most important person on site.

SAP EAM Data Quality

An hour long presentation by Phil Vallie, Vice President Professional Services, Vesta and Michael Jordan, Global Director, Utopia, Inc.

Data plays a critical role in the success of maintenance management systems. This is especially true with enterprise-level solutions like SAP, where a single source of data is utilized by multiple groups within an organization. Furthermore, as technology advances and maintenance originations are able to take advantage of tools like mobile devices and advanced analytics, the importance of data will become even more critical. Many companies struggle with how to how to determine the quality of their data, as well as what indicators to measure. This presentation will focus on the value of good data, and discuss tools that have been developed to help analyze that quality of EAM data across your organization.

An hour long presentation by Clark Kimmel, Senior Consultant, People and Processes, Inc.

Materials management is a critical part of an organizations ability to maintain and sustain reliability. Too many unnecessary or seldom used parts and materials on a shelf can waste resources. Resources are utilized to handle, house, maintain and kit or issue parts. Often times these resources are consumed on parts that haven't moved in years.

Asset or Maintenance Management - What Are We Trying to Standardize?

An hour long presentation by Terry Wireman, Senior VP, Strategic Development, Vesta Partners

First there was PAS-55. Now we have a Draft International Standard (DIS) focusing on asset management (proposed ISO-55000). Why would companies want to be certified under an asset management standard? How will this impact them financially? What will this mean for maintenance and reliability professionals? These and other issues will be explored during the webinar.

A Strong Shop Floor: Successful Planning & Scheduling Secret Ingredient

An hour long presentation by Ken Arthur, Performance Consultant, GPAllied

Our production personnel can be the eyes and ears of the maintenance group if they are trained to know how equipment fails, what to look for, and how to report abnormalities. Operators are critical to helping an organization achieve early identification of problems, which then allows more time to plan, schedule, coordinate and execute work to prevent costly failures. Early identification of problems is one of the keys to planning & scheduling success, and a strong "Shop Floor" is oftentimes the missing ingredient.

CMMS Best Practices Study - A Perspective

Julie Rampello

Selected graphs are taken from the CMMS Best Practices Study and are consistent with report's figure reference.

Reliabilityweb.com produced a CMMS Best Practices Study in July 2011 demonstrating the value computerized maintenance management systems add, as well as areas for future growth and improvement. The report was based on a survey of users conducted earlier that year which focused on implementation, use and sustainability.

As a marketer, this report is important as it provides an opportunity to better understand the user experience with CMMS in general and, for the Maximo brand specifically, the CMMS that Projetech provides. From this report, we see there is much that is changing in CMMS and the details summarized in the report provide us with opportunities to address the evolving needs of our customers. It is my pleasure to provide a perspective on the results of the survey and report.
