Enterprise Asset Management (EAM)<\/a> tools allow managers, especially in companies with a high number of dispersed assets, to have a broad view of the asset life cycle<\/strong> and its relationship to operations.<\/p>\n

These tools go far beyond a simple Maintenance Manager (GMAO\/CMMS)<\/a> and can include in their analysis financial issues such as full cost of the asset (CAPEX+OPEX),<\/strong> depreciation, repair costs versus replacement costs, calculation of the cost of ownership of the assets, etc.<\/p>\n

In summary, the objective of an M&A is to manage assets throughout their life cycle <\/strong>by optimizing operational efficiency to obtain the highest possible return on investment.<\/p>\n

The implementation of this type of solution is not only based on technology: it is about optimising critical processes, together with the end user, to achieve significant savings in operations and costs. The operational management of the asset involves a series of coordination difficulties, which can be solved with agile processes, supported by workflows and detached from the accounting rigidity inherent in the asset and the services involved.<\/p>\n

Phases of MEA implementation<\/h2>\n

The implementation of an EAM tool does not have to be a long-term project and, if done correctly, has a rapid return on investment.<\/p>\n

A phased project approach depending on the business processes<\/strong> contemplated in the scope allows the delivery of a complete, turnkey service, with strict compliance in time and form, thus guaranteeing the final result and the achievement of the client’s business objectives.<\/p>\n

Flexible solutions<\/h3>\n

Beyond the mere implementation of the technological solution, which we will see later, the implementation of the EAM must ensure that both the software and the processes and data are aligned with the objectives and needs<\/strong> of the company in a given context.<\/p>\n

How can this level of customisation be achieved for the client and at the same time be implemented quickly and efficiently? The use of a modular and sectorised solution<\/strong>, such as Retain, allows the maximum optimisation of the implementation process following 3 levels of configuration.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On the first level, the EAM has a complete suite of applications and generic tools<\/strong>, as well as a centralised database and various connectors.<\/p>\n

On this basis, the second level incorporates sector customisations<\/strong> adapted to different generic business models.<\/p>\n

Finally, for each client a customised solution<\/strong> is configured based on the sectorial solution that best suits their needs, incorporating the necessary customisations and developments until the optimum solution is achieved.<\/p>\n

EAM implementation methodology<\/h3>\n

This type of EAM configuration also allows for a phased implementation capable of supporting a continuous improvement process throughout the life of the project.<\/p>\n
