Maximize Asset Uptime
Achieve Maximum Asset Utilization And Performance
A recent Aberdeen Group study, "Collaborative Asset Maintenance Strategies," found that improving asset operations and maintenance performance were critical strategic imperatives to enable their organisations to improve return on investment and respond to customer demand for improved quality and shorter lead times. In spite of this focus, only 10% of manufacturing VPs surveyed were satisfied with their asset performance, measured by indicators such as utilisation, yield, and maintenance cost. The study further determined that the root cause of the unsatisfactory performance is disconnected maintenance and asset management systems.
Software and services from SAP and our partners can help you successfully overcome the challenge of maximising asset performance. With more effective management of asset operations and maintenance processes, you can address this asset performance gap and boost asset utilisation and performance, reliability, and availability – resulting in fewer unexpected downtimes and outages.
Achieving Maximum Asset Utilization and Performance
Forward-thinking manufacturers worldwide are using software and services from SAP and our partners to deliver a unified, synchronised approach to integrating operations and maintenance processes for assets across their organisation. By applying this integrated approach to operations and maintenance optimisation, these companies are realising lower costs and increased asset utilisation and performance.
For example, some of our customers have:
- Dramatically reduced the number of unplanned outages by improving both utilisation and service rates
- Increased productivity and reduced parts inventory
- Transformed asset efficiency and productivity by integrating and automating key maintenance and document-management processes
You can also realise additional benefits by optimising your asset operations and maintenance, such as more effective asset cost budgeting, service and maintenance supplier efficiencies, production planning, and asset refurbishment processing. By delivering a number of integrated tools including asset planning and scheduling , service and asset maintenance systems, service and parts procurement, spare parts planning, and inventory management, SAP can help maximise asset utilisation and performance at lower cost.
With the help of the SAP NetWeaver platform, you can improve asset utilisation, performance, reliability, availability, and maintenance costs by integrating asset operations and maintenance processes . SAP's services and consulting groups can also help you quickly and effectively transform these systems across your organisation. With information-rich tools, services, and resources, SAP can help you manage your system environment and optimise your asset operations.
