Integrate enterprise information with core process in production, maintenance, logistics & distribution, and quality management.
Utilities companies devote considerable resources to the design, construction, operations and maintenance of their assets. To optimize project management, asset hand-over, production and stay ahead of the competition, it is critical for utilities to consider the total lifecycle management of those assets and the challenges that may arise without effective information management and continuous process improvement.
-
As a generation organization, do you have all of the asset information you need to minimize task time and maximize uptime?
-
As a distribution and transmission organization, do you have immediate access to accurate information to address equipment failure analysis?
-
Have you implemented an effective information management to fulfil HSE and PAS55 requirements?
The ECM for Operational Excellence in Enterprise Asset Management bridges the gap between structured data in SAP and unstructured content for asset management processes. For asset-intensive industries, this contributes to improved productivity, reliability, compliance, and worker safety and reduces costs and environmental impact.
Manufacturing is not only under enormous commercial pressure in this current economic climate but also is being required to meet stringent new environmental measures whilst dealing with a huge change in cyclical demand. Effectively managing expensive and complex, environmentally sound production facilities within tightening regulatory demands requires a very solid grasp on enterprise assets.
But with content spread all over the enterprise, how can you succeed?

The automotive industry provides highly complex products which require huge production complexity. In addition regional variations in product provision have typically resulted in regional organisations, with each region managing its own product variations and infrastructure. Recent market turmoil means that this structure is untenable: global integration and centralisation are required with a huge impact on the assets the enterprise manages.

Within Europe impending regulatory changes to improve competition coupled with the ever increasing requirement to track finitely the origin and usage of parts and the need to store and quickly access thousands of manuals, service records and part libraries places ever increasing emphasis on the asset management capabilities of each firm. Ensuring the maximum potential of existing information in both structured and unstructured content can mean savings of millions and ease the worry of increasing regulatory oversight.

When it comes to technical operations including your manufacturing facilities and contract manufacturing capabilities, you have to be certain all regulations are being followed and proper controls and documentation are maintained. To do this, you need to manage all the associated content – such as technical specifications, batch records, user manuals, maintenance records, service contracts, drawings, and more.

ECM for Excellence in Production & Operation
Enterprise records management
ECM for EAM provides in-depth records management functionality so you can fully document and manage the lifecycle of EAM-related content. Records can be declared in accordance with legislative requirements. This approach demonstrates compliance and shows how your organization adheres to required records management practices including retention, change control, access, and ultimately destruction of content at the end of its lifecycle. The software can be configured to classify documents automatically, thus supporting consistency and accuracy, and complies with the U.S. Department of Defence directive 5015.2 for records management.
Connecting content to asset management processes
Content is stored with an appropriate structure, and key data attributes are associated with the documents. This enables the user to navigate or search to readily find the content associated with an equipment, material, part, or supplier in SAP software.
Optimizing asset maintenance
Engineers and technicians can store and later retrieve data and documents from analysis, testing, and maintenance work. Maintenance planners can collect, organize, and securely store information in back-end SAP software, establishing a clear link to equipment, material, and transactions in the software. They can also more easily analyze information to determine what improvements need to occur to shorten the duration of outages and reduce downtime.
Internal and external collaboration
For internal projects, ECM for EAM enables collaboration among team members with rich functionality that supports project workspaces, activity feeds, collaborative approval workflows, tasks, and polls. For projects including external stakeholders, ECM for EAM extends that functionality, allowing you to set up a secure extranet environment and workspaces in which to share documents.
Archiving enterprise data and documents
ECM for Enterprise Asset Management includes archiving functionality that allows the offloading of data and documents into an archive from within the software and from production SAP databases. This functionality significantly reduces content storage costs, database backup time, and the need for additional hardware, while improving production-system performance. The solution is integrated with the SAP NetWeaver® Information Lifecycle Management component.
