9.1 Information Systems

During this webcast, Abrar discusses the 3 major elements (people, processes & technology) required to successfully enable end users of a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS). Learn more about: 1) Defining the scope, timelines and objectives of CMMS/EAM implementation; 2) Dealing with Master Data - defining the data and dealing with data overload; 3) How to ensure front line workers input quality data so that it can be effectively used for reliability analysis; 4) Processes (how to incorporate the technology); and 5) Roadmap (how to bring it all together and proceed).

Many factors can influence the success of an Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) /Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) implementation; the most common problems provide the most effective opportunities for improving overall maintenance practices. In this session, learn from Infor Canada how many of its clients have adopted simple and effective strategies that have allowed them to achieve "competence" and "excellence" levels in the Maintenance Maturity Grid. Learn how EAM/CMMS solutions have assisted organizations that use equipment and machinery to produce products, in maintaining the health and life of their equipment. In this session participants will identify the common issues encountered in the implementation of an EAM/CMMS, and learn how to  develop successful strategies not only for a successful implementation, but also continuous improvement maintenance operations, extending beyond maintenance departments. Any EAM/CMMS has the potential to be the most powerful tool in the toolbox of maintenance practitioners. The right strategies will guarantee you succeed in realizing its full potential.
