Information system for management of operation processes of production facilities of the enterprise, such as operational operation and dispatching, maintenance and repair (M & R), logistics and financial support of M & R, management of repair personnel, documentation support of M & R, warehouse inventory management, interaction with branches and service organizations. The system supports the solution of strategic tasks of the enterprise - increasing the efficiency of production funds (funds) and personnel, optimizing operating costs with a minimum of risks and required productivity, improving reliability, rational use of technical resources, etc.
EAM systems allow you to effectively manage the full lifecycle of any corporate assets: buildings and structures, industrial equipment, transportation fleet, engineering infrastructure elements, IT equipment, business applications, software licenses, and others. The main consumers of EAM-class solutions are manufacturing enterprises with heterogeneous assets, which are difficult to effectively manage without a specialized information system. The key industries in which EAM tools are in demand are energy, the oil and gas industry, metallurgy, manufacturing, telecom, the public sector, and healthcare.
The EAM concept is based on the idea of a production asset as an element of a business that has its life cycle and is able or unable to generate positive cash flow. The profitability of the enterprise largely depends on the efficiency of the use of production assets. Using EAM systems, the company's management can decide on the decommissioning of unprofitable assets and their replacement with modern ones, the need to modernize existing ones. The system records and analyzes maintenance costs, helps to determine the total cost of ownership of assets, form a regulatory framework and a knowledge base for the maintenance and repair of equipment. EAM allows you to plan maintenance in any way, in accordance with the selected maintenance strategy of the production asset (by event (failure operation), by state).
The implementation of the platform allows you to manage risks, reduce equipment downtime and inventory, organize transparent management accounting of assets, plan and monitor budget execution regarding the acquisition and maintenance of assets, coordinate repair and operational work, as well as reduce labor costs and effectively use the working time of service personnel.
Worldwide experience shows that the implementation of EAM can reduce equipment downtime by up to 20%, increase its useful life by up to 30%, increase the share of scheduled repairs by up to 80%, reduce emergency and overtime work by a third, as well as cases of lack of inventory, significantly increase staff productivity.
