SAP Enterprise Asset Management (EAM): A Simple Overview Presentation

This presentation document provides a comprehensive guide to SAP Enterprise Asset Management (EAM). SAP Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) is a comprehensive SAP solution designed to manage an organization’s physical assets throughout their lifecycle, from acquisition to retirement. It encompasses various strategies and processes for maintaining assets, aiming to optimize asset performance, minimize downtime, and control maintenance costs. EAM integrates with other SAP modules to provide a holistic approach to asset management.

Key sections from this overview presentation

1. Asset Life Cycle: This outlines the different stages an asset goes through, from design and procurement to operation, maintenance, and finally, retirement or disposal.
2. Technical Asset Management: This involves the structured management of technical objects like equipment and functional locations. It includes master data maintenance for these objects, defining their hierarchical structure and key attributes.
3. Preventive and Predictive Maintenance Process: These are proactive maintenance approaches focused on preventing equipment failures. Preventive maintenance is schedule-based, while predictive maintenance uses condition monitoring to anticipate failures.
4. Breakdown Maintenance Process: This is reactive maintenance performed after an asset has failed, focusing on restoring the asset to operational status through notifications, order creation, execution, and confirmation processes.
5. Refurbishment Process in SAP PM: This process describes how repairable spare parts or equipment are overhauled and restored to their original condition for reuse, extending their lifecycle.
6. SAP PM Integrations with other Modules: SAP EAM integrates with other SAP modules like Plant Maintenance (PM), Materials Management (MM), Finance (FI), Controlling (CO), and Quality Management (QM) to ensure seamless data flow and process integration across the enterprise.
7. Work Clearance Management (WCM): This module focuses on ensuring safety during maintenance activities by managing and controlling work permits and clearances before, during, and after maintenance work.
8. Linear Asset Management: This provides specialized functionalities to manage and maintain linear assets, such as pipelines or railways, which have extended geographical dimensions.
9. Pool Asset Management: This component manages pools of shared assets like vehicles or tools, enabling organizations to track, reserve, issue, and manage the utilization of these assets efficiently.
10. Sample Reports: The document highlights various standard reports available in SAP EAM for analyzing maintenance costs, equipment performance, downtime, and other key metrics to improve asset management decisions.

SAP EAM provides a robust framework for organizations to effectively manage their assets, encompassing preventive, predictive, and breakdown maintenance strategies, enhanced by safety protocols and integrated reporting capabilities for optimized asset lifecycle management.
