Do you wonder how the benefits you are deriving from it stack up against other companies? If you have a gap between what you are experiencing and what world-class companies are getting, where can you close the gap?
Automation and reliability services supplier ABB, in Columbus, Ohio, has a program to analyze a company’s utilization of EAM and provide feedback on where it rates vs. others in a number of assessment areas.
Just knowing the various areas to evaluate can give operations and maintenance professionals a jump start toward improvement.
Following are some evaluation areas:
• Information Systems Strategy • Business Processes • Master Data Models and Structures • Planned Maintenance • Transactional Data • System Utilization • User Training • System Administration and Support.
