Avoiding Asset Data Loss During an EAM Migration
Software migrations are essential for a variety of reasons. For instance, moving to a new EAM system can help improve reporting, updating, and analyzing data. Moreover, migrating to a new system offers an opportunity to adopt best practices and improve your asset and maintenance master data.
Making the Switch?
With the amount of data you have, your present software system may not be able to keep up with your needs. Your software system may be outdated, which affects your productivity and efficiency.
What Your Spreadsheets Don’t Tell You
You have all this perfect work order data, so what do you do next? You add all that data to a spreadsheet with the hope that you’ll be able to calculate critical metrics without any errors and that you can make better-informed decisions.
Unpacking your Historical Work Order Data
Your historical work order data contains useful insights that can help you identify improvement areas and take your maintenance strategy to the next level. Analyzing historical work order data over time can also help you plan and assign tasks easier.
Making Use of that Historical Work Order Data
What happens when your historical work order data is all over the place? It can lead to inconsistencies in operations and maintenance due to your organization’s different parts using other codes and procedures to complete work orders. Overall, this does not benefit your organization in the long term since a huge chunk of your data can be assessed from historical work orders
Why did your CMMS Implementation fail?
You spent all your time and money looking for a CMMS/ EAM system only to find that your implementation process was a failure. One may argue that they took all the necessary steps required to set up and initiate their software, but implementation goes beyond that. An exemplary implementation will involve setting up, initiating, and, most importantly, using the software to its best advantage.
Where did all the Wrench Time go?
Most PM tasks are performed at scheduled PM intervals, and if your schedule is haywire or inconsistent, you could be wasting a lot of valuable wrench time over planning and scheduling these tasks.
Poor Analysis leads to Poor Backlogs
Maintenance backlogs are a necessary part of effective planning and scheduling. They should ensure that your work is prioritized effectively and that work orders that can be carried out efficiently at the same time are grouped together. However, some companies find it challenging to understand their current work order backlog since they cannot effectively dashboard and analyze their open work orders.
Addressing Reliability in Work Order Analysis
Reliability is all about analyzing data and gaining better insights for future maintenance strategies. However, some companies are unable to conduct reliability analysis effectively due to unreliable or non-existent data. This is a challenge since it gives a misleading image of current operations and asset condition. Moreover, decisions aren’t made on time, which negatively impacts the overall business.
