SAP PM towards Development
SAP PM integrates with other ECC components like Materials Management (MM), Quality Management (QM), Production Planning (PP), Sales and Distribution (SD), Finance (FI), Controlling (CO), and Human Resources (HR).
SAP PM is comprised of components for the three main activities that help companies to maintain systems or equipment:
- Inspection, which establishes the actual condition of the systems or equipment;
- Preventive maintenance, which helps to maintain ideal conditions for the system or equipment; and
- Repair, for restoring the systems or equipment.
- SAP PM allows you to manage maintenance requests and perform some repairs automatically. You can use it to record the problems in the ECC, plan labor and material activities, and record and settle costs.
- SAP PM's integration with the other ECC modules keeps the data in the module current and automatically triggers processes in the other functions when required. For example, a Repair activity may trigger a purchase requisition for non-stock materials in MM or purchasing.
SAP PM on the job
- The referenced company owns 30+ specialty-chemical manufacturing sites around the world. Its well-established improvement culture encourages continuous-improvement efforts by individuals and groups. Prior to implementing SAP PM/EAM, the organization successfully implemented and rolled out a couple of CMMS systems globally.
- In addition, a maintenance and reliability improvement initiative was started, with limited results. The company was not new to improvement initiatives and, in time, established a good internal knowledge base and understanding of best practices in maintenance and reliability.
- The company strived to increase its OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) and understood that the Maintenance Planning and Scheduling work process was the core of maintenance execution. Without improving and establishing a proficient maintenance execution vehicle, it would have been impossible to realize meaningful results, and the organization would have remained reactive with limited OEE and lowered product quality.
- Management knew it was important to form an internal improvement team comprised of operations and maintenance personnel, which would lead to development of broad-based, practical solutions. They also recognized the importance of having team champions who could help promote acceptance.
- Still, the company lacked the in-house knowledge of SAP PM/EAM to maximize system integration in support of its work processes. They needed professional support to optimize existing data standards and structures, transactional execution and reporting. My consulting group provided them the in-depth SAP PM/EAM knowledge, and helped design, document and implement a drastically optimized SAP system.
- Subsequently, the company launched a pilot implementation that was followed by global rollouts to multiple sites. The approach was to first implement maintenance improvements, followed by reliability improvements. Optimization of SAP PM/EAM formed a very important and major part of both improvement phases.
There are generally four groups of users that benefit most from SAP PM:
- Maintenance and operations managers, who can use PM to obtain metrics on equipment performance or maintenance deployments. They can use PM to improve maintenance decision-making by running reports on work that's planned, in process, or completed. Management can also budget for equipment replenishment by having accurate and up-to-date data on equipment maintenance history and relative maintenance costs.
- Production line workers and equipment users, who can use PM to manage maintenance issues more promptly and effectively. For example, preventive maintenance issues can be coordinated with production and unplanned maintenance to ensure that the work is done quickly and doesn't affect production.
- Maintenance personnel and technicians, who can use PM to improve work processes and efficiency. For example, technicians can use PM to review maintenance records.
- Purchasing departments, who can use PM to manage and execute the purchase of non-stock spare parts and services needed for maintenance work. These groups are generally integrated with maintenance groups.
Everything in SAP PM revolves around master data, which stored in and manipulated in centralized master data tables. Master data types in PM include equipment, functional location, class (specifications for objects), characteristics, task lists, catalog (data about maintenance history in codes), construction types (materials BOMs), measuring points, and counters (captured data about equipment use, such as wear and tear or consumption). The master data is used to create transactional data in the SAP ECC, such as creating a maintenance record in PM, purchase order in MM, production order in PP, or sales order in SD
- Each and every equipment and fleet object (like compressor, Motor, Truck, Ship, Pay loader) details and their maintenance activity you can get from the system.
- Break down maintenance, Its causes and duration recorded into the system.(from Notification)
- Maintenance activity like maintenance duration, planning, Operation,labor and material involvement (from maintenance order).
- Early warning system enabled automatically before preventive maintenance (with Strategy, Task List, Material etc).
- Easy tracking of malfunctioning, breakdown and preventive maintenance activities.
- Equipment material and servicing costing analysis report.
- You can maintain the equipment log sheet online.,like boiler temperature reading etc. (from measuring documents).
- You can integrate with Quality module to monitor calibration maintenance.
