Overview IFS Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) is an information management system that connects all departments and disciplines within a company, making them an integrated unit. IFS EAM provides production plants with the prerequisites for creating constantly up-to-date information and decision-making data. IFS EAM provides valuable support for the company’s strategic and operative processes, as well as being an efficient tool for increased availability, productivity, and lower Life Cycle Costs.

Modern asset intensive industries are facing increasingly tougher conditions. With fewer resources, companies are expected to produce
more products of higher quality and with increased knowledge content. Add to that a very volatile market with rapidly changing demands and the situation becomes very complicated.

To handle this situation, more complex, technologically sophisticated plants are being developed. One of the weaker points in this development, however, has been the information flow. Processes and activities have been optimized but not coordinated in an integrated information system. IFS EAM is an information management system that connects all departments and disciplines within a company, making them an integrated unit. IFS EAM provides production plants with the prerequisites for creating constantly up-to-date information and decision-making data. IFS EAM provides valuable support for the company’s strategic and operative processes, as well as being an efficient tool for increased availability, productivity, and lower Life Cycle Costs.

- Complete information support

Asset-intensive companies are dependent on complete information support. The system that provides this must be capable of collecting and managing all information throughout the entire life cycle of the facility.

As an integral part of the IFS Applications ERP system, IFS EAM is in direct contact with all the business processes in the company. Its efficient data capture functionality collects and structures relevant information, from all departments and systems, and makes it easily available to users at all levels.

With IFS EAM, the company can optimize plant and personnel resources, receiving invaluable support in its efforts to increase availability and profitability.

- IFS Plant Design

Most plant information is created within new construction and rebuilding projects with IFS Plant Design, an IFS EAM module, where all information can be collected from both internal and external sources in the design phase. The data is then transferred automatically to the maintenance and administration systems without needing to be re-written or modified. IFS EAM functionality supports the entire process from the project phase, through design, to purchasing, assembly and going live.

This enables shorter lead times, faster start-ups, and a more efficient use of internal and external personnel in new construction or rebuilding projects. Projects can be run rationally and cost-effectively, with enhanced quality and availability from the first hour the plant becomes operational.

- Document management

The document management functionality in IFS EAM is an integral part of the complete ERP system, IFS Applications, making all documents from the company’s business processes available to all users. The system fulfills all the requirements for modern document management, with great importance being attached to the accessibility of the system. As soon as they are created, documents and document lists are directly linked to different plant objects, e.g. maintenance activities, preventive maintenance schedules or purchase orders. This makes it easy to access them quickly in all the company’s business processes.

The document management functionality provides comprehensive support for keeping plant information updated, thus enabling faster actions to be taken and an efficient use of the entire maintenance system

Product Summary

Mode of Delivery: Packaged Application Solution Classification: Computer Maintenance Management (CMMS) Facilities Management and Maintenance Equipment Maintenance Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) Distinguishing Features: - Minimize unplanned stoppages IFS EAM improves the company’s operational and maintenance procedures, both immediately and in the long term. Based on industry standards, the functionality for collecting data from the process and control systems allows the proportion of condition-based maintenance to be maximized, and the risk of breakdowns and disruptions, to be minimized. The material procurement process is a decisive factor for achieving a balance between low costs and high availability. With continuous handling of all technical and commercial information, scheduled work and experience from the plant, the system creates efficient functions for purchasing and inventory. All in all, IFS EAM provides proactive support for continuous improvement, resource planning, and plant optimization. Profitability is often related to plant availability. With IFS’ OEE (Overall Equipment Efficiency) and Business Performance tools, disruptions can be measured, defined and related to causes, for instance maintenance problems, lack of competence, or design faults. Based on this analysis, "improvement groups" representing all parts of the organization can collaborate in making recommendations for better solutions. - Competence management The close link in IFS EAM between operations and maintenance, and the human resources functionality guarantees more efficient competence management of long-term organizational planning at all levels. The system also contains procedures for planning succession, including development programs for replacements for key employees at various levels and in different departments. - Web based A good EAM system is characterized by its advanced functionality and its ability to handle complex, fast-changing situations within the organization. At the same time, it must be made available to many different user groups with widely divergent needs and demands. IFS/Personal Portal, the role-based enterprise portal for IFS Applications, represents a paradigm shift that increases the benefits of current ERP systems. Applied to IFS Maintenance, the contents of the portal cover the most common functions required by maintenance technicians. Via the web, maintenance and service technicians can access job lists, final reports, and fault reports, and graphically navigate through plant diagrams. - IFS Event Server The IFS Event Server function defines procedures that automatically create messages from the system to the user. For example, it might send a message to the maintenance manager when certain limits for condition-based maintenance have been exceeded, or send a signal when a payment authorization officer has time reports that need to be approved. Using applications created in the IFS Event Server, the system calls attention to reports that need to be addressed without personnel wasting their time looking for information. - Costing tool Improvements can be made in every plant, in the form of savings and increased production. Fewer breakdowns, increased capacity use, more efficient purchasing routines and better use of human resources are some of the most decisive factors. In major industrial facilities, exploiting this potential can entail dramatic changes. In fact, a rule of thumb states that a company in the process industry with an old information structure will increase its annual profitability by over US $ 12,000 per employee. The IFS EAM costing tool is used to calculate the value of this improvement potential. By analyzing costs and revenue, the improvement potential defined is converted by IFS EAM to higher return on assets (ROA) and lower total cost of ownership (TCO). Target business size: 2000+ 501 to 2000 101 to 500 Pricing details: $25,000 to Indefinite Notes: Pricing Varies based on number of users
