This article briefly clarifies what Root Cause Analysis is, what elements it involves, and how to get better traceability over your equipment performance with a CMMS system. Relying on this, you should be able to better understand how to benefit from data collected based on the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) usage to improve your RCA process.
Every software application evolves over time and sometimes moves faster than a company can keep up. With the evolution of software at this breakneck pace, you may not be getting the most out of S/4HANA Asset Management if you aren’t taking advantage of its latest enhancements.
Computerized Maintenance Management Systems are known for their robust features that streamline and improve company operations. Despite this, maintenance teams rarely take advantage of all the functionality available in their CMMS. This article highlights some key CMMS features that maintenance teams should use to get more value from their investment, improve efficiencies, and save costs.Â
In this article, we share insights on the importance of fault reporting for maintenance workflows. Suppose you are a maintenance manager, plant manager, technician, or engineer. This article reveals effective ways to improve your organization’s information flow and basic workflow processes for better-performing maintenance work.
Today’s maintenance departments can benefit from autonomous maintenance functions in CMMS systems that go a step further in controlling the daily tasks of plant and machine operators.Â
June 2024 marks National Safety Month, an annual occasion to highlight the critical importance of workplace safety and raise awareness about potential hazards. For industries that rely on industrial equipment and heavy machinery, proper maintenance practices and safety protocols are vital for preventing accidents, injuries, and fatalities. Continuously striving to improve workplace safety is not only the ethical thing to do, but also keeps facilities productive, reduces downtime, and protects businesses from legal action.
Despite current economic hardships, investing in CMMS software presents an opportunity for businesses aiming to optimize operations and reduce costs. By implementing CMMS systems, businesses can manage maintenance schedules, minimize unexpected breakdowns, and extend the lifespan of their assets.
Computerized Maintenance Management Systems are often perceived as solutions that can operate solely in production plants. However, the growing demand for maintenance across production facilities has shown that the complexity of the business, and its need for integration is far more extended. Today, enterprises require CMMS integration with the supply chain—not only in the context of production, but also in the context of supplying manufacturing facilities with spare parts for their maintenance departments. In this article, we explain how interoperability is facilitated today in maintenance operations.
SAP, as with any enterprise asset management software suite, is a collection of many diverse software solutions and applications. No matter which module of SAP you are working with, there are master and transactional data sets that you must consider as you are making changes to an existing system, migrating from one system to another, or standing up a new system altogether.
