Top 3 EAM system insights this post helps you to appreciate:
- To be great at doing enterprise asset management and maintenance management you need to learn to do those subjects that impact and affect any aspect of an operating asset’s life cycle.
- EAM requires a life cycle system and EAM training requires to teach how EAM systems are designed to operate and be used across the engineering asset life cycle.
- Because maintenance management is a sub-set of physical asset management, you cannot build a great EAM system by focusing on doing world class maintenance, but you will deliver great maintenance once you have a world class EAM system.
Marie’s question got me to thinking what the management and supervisory levels of an organization should know about enterprise asset management if they wanted to build a highly effective, holistic EAM system.
Achieving world class EAM performance and results requires leaders at all levels in the organization who know and use the right principles and associated practices across their operating assets’ life cycle. Doing Enterprise Asset Management and maintenance well needs understanding and application of key foundational concepts from a wide range of subjects.
Below is listed useful topics and subjects that I believe people at each level of an organization who are responsible for the use and care of physical assets need to understand deeply enough and be knowledgeable at doing so they make the best decisions.
