ENTERPRISE ASSET MANAGEMENT
|
Executive
Summary
Enterprise Asset Management (eAM) is a business application
to manage
the maintenance operations within a company. These operations
can include both facility and production maintenance. An
Asset is anything that requires maintenance; for example:
a building, heating/air conditioning equipment, production
equipment, vehicles, etc.
Oracle
eAM can be used as a standalone application. Oracle eAM
bridges
the gap between ERP/MRP Solutions and Asset Maintenance
for industries
such as Utilities, Metals/Mining, Pulp & Paper, Petrochemicals,
Facilities,
Governments, and Education that rely heavily on asset maintenance
systems. The purpose of this whitepaper is to explain the
features of Oracle
Enterprise Management (eAM), the integration points with
other EBusiness
Suite modules and the procedure to implement eAM. This document
also features some implementation points and discusses cases
of some success in eAM.
Overview
Oracle eAM supports the following business processes:
The
eAM application is designed with two user interface layers
:
-
A
self-service layer for use by casual users (everyone
requesting
work, tradesmen and production supervisors); and,
- A
core (forms-based) layer for the planners, schedulers, and
professional users.
Self-service
maintenance (SSM) permits users to enter work requests for
maintenance, permits supervisors to schedule personnel,
permits maintenance personnel (tradesmen) to enter their
time, and allow creation of purchase requisitions for material.
The core layer of functionality is where all of the application
set up is performed. Work order processing, planning and
scheduling is also performed in this layer. All work transactions,
other than time input, is performed here. All system administration
is performed in the core application.
