SAP Plant Maintenance (SAP PM)
Streamline and improve your asset management and always guarantee optimal asset availability
High downtimes and slow troubleshooting prevent efficient production and disrupt your daily business?
That doesn't have to be the case - with optimized and lean maintenance processes you reduce downtimes and improve your system availability. No matter whether you are not yet using SAP PM or have historically grown system landscapes, we support you in initial implementation and optimization!
SAP PM is an integral part of the SAP ERP system and of S/4HANA to map all processes and structures of maintenance - from a technical and organizational point of view. SAP PM is characterized by its tight integration into the business processes and modules of the SAP system.
If you are already using SAP PM, we would be happy to support you in optimizing your business processes. This will enable you to drastically increase the efficiency of your maintenance. Another decisive factor of the SAP maintenance solution is that it can be used across all industries.
CONSILIO offers many years of experience in various industries and brings this knowledge to your projects. Especially in maintenance it is important to reach the end user and create acceptance of the system. For this purpose, there are two main options:
- Optimization of the SAP ERP system
Here we can advise you optimally through our many years of experience.
High downtimes and slow troubleshooting prevent efficient production and disrupt your daily business? Let us support and optimize and streamline your maintenance processes.
SAP PM Functionalities
Planned Maintenance
The area of maintenance processing includes functions, processes and measures for planning, controlling and executing maintenance work.
Various processes are supported:
- Classic planned maintenance
- Outsourcing
- Reconditioning
- Subcontracting
- Calibration
- Special processes such as pool asset management, maintenance event builder or shift reports
All these processes can be individually configured to your needs by our experts.
1. Notifications
- With the functionality of maintenance notifications, you can request maintenance work, report malfunctions or document activities
- You can have notifications created automatically and notifications can be converted into orders
- The interface of messages is configurable. This way you always see the most important information at a glance
2. Orders
- The maintenance order is a highly integrative and important object of maintenance processing
- It serves on the one hand as a collector for all costs incurred, such as spare parts consumption or personnel deployment
- On the other hand it is available as a central planning object
- The order supports you in material planning, capacity planning, scheduling and planning of external companies
- The interface of the job is configurable
- Further processes such as immediate repair or follow-up orders can be implemented around the order
3. Feedback
- With time confirmations, maintenance technicians can record the time spent on the order
- Technical data such as meter readings, measured values and damage codes can also be reported
- The actual material consumption can be booked
4. Material Planning
- In material planning you plan spare parts and check their availability
- Both stocked spare parts and non-stock material can be planned
5. capacity planning
- Capacity planning allows you to compare the target times of activities with the actual availability of resources
6. Planning external companies
- Contractor assignments can be planned in various ways. In particular, the classic outsourcing, service procurement with service specifications and subcontracting are available
7. Project oriented maintenance
- Project-oriented maintenance is suitable for very large maintenance measures or when carrying out maintenance work within projects
- It is based on the functions and elements of the SAP Project System (SAP PS)
- This allows for scheduling or budgeting by SAP PS
Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenance enables you to perform timely and automatically scheduled maintenance. You can fall back on different types of maintenance:
- Time based maintenance
- You can use strategy plans to map interdependent or dependent maintenance
- e.g. every 6 months a "small" maintenance and every 12 months the "big" maintenance
- Performance-based maintenance
- counter, e.g. every 10.000 km
- counter, e.g. every 10.000 km
- Condition-based maintenance
- Reacting to events in measurement points
- e.g. system message when the minimum filling level of an oil tank is not reached
- Maintenance through multiple counter plans
- Combination of time-based and performance-based maintenance plan
The most important functions of preventive maintenance:
- Work plans to describe the work steps as well as their sequence and pre-planning of subsequent maintenance orders
- Maintenance plans for linking the task lists with cycles, scheduling and other planning data
- Automatic scheduling, maintenance plan simulation, maintenance plan costing
Plant Structuring
The extensive functions of the plant structuring serve the illustration of machines and technical plants of a company. Functional locations and pieces of equipment are available as the most important master data objects. These can be linked to parts lists, which are mainly used for spare parts and for a finer structuring of the system. Measuring points and counters can be used to record meter readings and measured values to enable performance-based maintenance. Linear Asset Management can be used to map linear assets such as networks, pipelines and routes.
The asset structuring of maintenance has an integration into the asset accounting. For this purpose, a piece of equipment is linked to an asset number. Document management for plant documentation allows documents such as drawings or circuit diagrams to be stored with the technical object. The classification system can be used to classify pieces of equipment and functional locations. Furthermore, a history is available with which, among other things, it can be evaluated which orders have been executed at the technical object.
Maintenance Controlling
The maintenance controlling serves the monitoring of measures, objects and time periods regarding costs. Technical evaluations such as Mean-Time-To-Repair (MTTR) or failure statistics are also available. Orders and cost centers can be budgeted and settled to internal activity receivers. Tariffs can be stored for services of the maintenance department. A consistent use of internal cost allocation offers your company a high degree of cost transparency. Maintenance controlling is based on and strongly integrated into SAP Controlling. We are also happy to support you with your challenges in SAP controlling.
