First of all, the GartnerGroup Consulting Company of the United States defines EAM as an enterprise resource planning system in which asset-intensive enterprises use modern information technology (IT) to reduce downtime and increase production without significantly increasing maintenance costs.
Secondly, EAM is a solution for asset-intensive enterprises.
Thirdly, EAM is the ERP of asset-intensive enterprises.
As can be seen from the above statement, most people's understanding of EAM is still superficial. EAM system can not only play the above role, but also has deep strategic significance, that is, EAM is the foundation of enterprise innovation.
First of all, we should realize that EAM system should be an open management platform and a practical tool to standardize advanced management technology and management experience. As a management concept or method, enterprise asset management has actually developed for many years in asset management, especially in equipment management. Now EAM can be simply understood as the computerization and modernization of these management theories.
Enterprise enterprise
One of the following conditions shall be met: (1) The enterprise is an asset-intensive enterprise; (2) Enterprise benefits come from the stable and continuous operation of equipment; (3) Controlling the cost of enterprise assets is linked to "increasing enterprise profits and improving enterprise efficiency". Typical industries are: electric power, mining, manufacturing, ports and transportation. The management category of EAM is the whole process of maintenance and repair of enterprise management assets, and enterprise is the main body of EAM activities.
Assets assets
It is the object to be managed in order to ensure production, including all the fixed assets of the enterprise, including production equipment, buildings, pipelines, cables, roads, bridges and culverts, trenches, tanks, fences, chimneys, plane layout, dams, etc.
management control
The effective management of EAM should include all the contents of enterprise asset management, and realize the whole life cycle management of enterprise assets from early management, operation, maintenance to scrapping.
(1)EAM can realize advanced management concepts.
It is the basis of realizing advanced management ideas such as RCM (reliability-centered management), TPM and spot check system. Support the implementation of ISO9000;
Flexible business process design gradually optimizes and perfects the original enterprise management mode, avoids being divorced from reality, and ensures the enterprise to implement modern management ideas in a planned and step-by-step manner;
Support multiple maintenance resource organization modes.
(2)EAM abstracts business activities and builds business components based on business processes.
Based on business process design, all personnel involved in equipment management and use can enter the system operation in real time according to their own business, from managers to general operators.
Products based on business components can not only make enterprises meet the current needs quickly, but also provide technical framework guarantee for the sustainable development of enterprises.
(3)EAM covers the whole system and business of the enterprise.
The whole enterprise, from managers to maintainers and operators, uses the system on the network;
Business covers all businesses involved in the mobile field;
(4)EAM is fully controlled.
Equipment state control:
1) to control the equipment state, establish the equipment state parameter database, and query the equipment state and its deterioration trend at any time; Realize the key equipment status query, key equipment history curve query, etc.
2) Establish a complete equipment maintenance file, and you can query the equipment history at any time.
Realized business control (plan, schedule, cost, contract);
All users can know the situation related to their own business and realize all-round and basic control. When maintenance personnel or management personnel need one or several types of information in business processing, the system can provide it conveniently and timely. For example, maintenance personnel can check the comprehensive information of equipment, spare parts inventory, equipment technical files and equipment maintenance records at any time; Managers can accurately grasp the real-time progress of the work they manage, including the status of equipment, contracts, spare parts ordering and arrival, spare parts inventory and the progress of maintenance operations.
(5)EAM is suitable for the whole process of enterprise equipment lifecycle management.
This process includes not only the operation and maintenance after the enterprise is put into production, but also the effective management of enterprise assets, and also emphasizes the design, delivery, installation and debugging before the production.
The core of EAM
The core of asset management system EAM is not management, but enterprise database, which accumulates the problems and solutions in the daily work of enterprises and allows enterprises to find the direction and methods of technological innovation. Therefore, the focus of the asset management system is at the grass-roots level, and advanced management ideas such as spot check system are implemented. The decision-making and innovation activities of enterprises are based on the data of the grass-roots level. In a word, EAM is not only the software of an enterprise, but the quality of EAM system is related to the strategic issues of the enterprise. EAM is the foundation of enterprise innovation.
