Are you having a hard time finding maintenance documents about assets in your enterprise document management system? Or maybe you are having trouble integrating between maintenance processes that are based on EAM/CMMS workflows and the document management systems. Whatever the case may be, many asset intensive companies that want to integrate their EAM/CMMS system with an enterprise document management solution struggle with these problems as well!
Here are some common issues that companies face with their document management systems
- Requiring maintenance staff to use multiple systems to find all of the information they need, looking for a 360 view or a one stop shop for all documents related to technical issues
- Lack of a visual interface for navigating through documents in the document management system
- Out of date indexing that makes it harder to find documents in the document management system
- Not knowing how to handle the challenge of re-organizing and re-tagging documents in the document management solution when the asset data changes
Integrating EAM/CMMS processes with document management can increase your wrench time by 25% and increase maintenance productivity by an average of 25%. Let’s take a closer look.
A master data management system that will automatically organize and index maintenance documents into the corporate DMS saves wrench time and improves your company’s productivity. This will allow you to load your documents into the corporate DMS individually or in bulk with ease. It provides a simpler user interface, so maintenance personnel can manually enter document attributes.
Your master data management system should also be able to easily keep the organization and indexes up to date when assets or asset attributes change. This ensures that search indexes of maintenance documents remain in sync with their assets and updates the indexes automatically as asset or asset attributes change. With up to date indexes, your company will ultimately increase their wrench time and productivity as well.
Another way to increase your wrench time and productivity, your maintenance workers should be able to easily locate the latest engineering data and drawings. When maintenance personnel can easily link drawings, photos, manuals, engineering data and other maintenance documents and connect them with the assets to which they apply in the EAM system, it automatically increases their wrench time. They will be able to quickly and easily view engineering drawings and designs from work orders in an EAM system.
