Yes! You heard us, better maintenance BOMs will save your companies’ life. But what is a bill of material exactly? Well, in an EAM system, an equipment BOM captures spare part information for a piece of equipment. This information is used during maintenance to determine the correct spare parts to replace. In an asset intensive company, not only do you want better maintenance Bills of Materials to maintain your equipment, but it’s also highly important that you have accurate maintenance BOMs. Why? Because it’ll help you save money! When the time is taken to build BOMs properly, your maintenance personnel can quickly locate the required parts, which will ultimately increase wrench time too.
So what is considered a good solution to help you build better maintenance BOMs? Your solution must…
- Lower the cost of building maintenance BOMs
A good solution must help your company lower the cost of building maintenance BOMs by allowing you to create, edit, visualize, review and approve maintenance BOMs efficiently.

- Quickly identify the correct parts to plan, schedule and complete work orders
Your solution must be able to help your maintenance personnel save time by easily identifying which parts are required to complete a work order. Having a visual parts selection will also make it very easy for planners and workers to select the correct part!
