Implementation of SAP Plant Maintenance (PM)
Streamlining and improving asset management for always optimal plant availability at DEHN
Implementation highlights
- Integrated maintenance processing
- Documentation of all maintenance activities in one system
- Streamlined processes
- Improved planning of maintenance activities
- Reduction of downtime
- Increase in equipment availability
- Cost savings, increase in efficiency and transparency in maintenance
Initial situation
The maintenance of the large machine park was previously carried out outside of the SAP system. This meant that information on machine breakdowns and planned maintenance measures was only possible to a limited extent. Maintenance was carried out using paper documents and was very time-consuming.
Challenge
- Analysing the requirements in the area of plant maintenance and aligning the system landscape to individual goals
- Analysing the maintenance and service processes
- Identification and realisation of improvement potential in SAP ERP
With CONSILIO, we defined the right processes in this project to prevent high downtimes and slow troubleshooting. Now, efficient production with optimized, lean maintenance processes is assured.
Project goals
- Integrated maintenance processing
- Preparation of the introduction of a mobile maintenance solution based on SAP
Conclusion
The use of SAP PM enables both the continuous monitoring of the actual condition and the maintenance of the defined target condition of the machinery. This ensures that downtimes are reduced to a minimum and unnecessary costs are avoided, as all machines have the longest possible service life with low spare parts requirements.
Main benefits for the customer
The introduction of maintenance with maintenance planning in SAP created the basis for introducing mobile maintenance in a second step. With SAP PM, processes could be streamlined and the maintenance of machines could be better planned and handled by the system. This increased efficiency and reduced downtimes. Digital checklists made it possible to quickly document maintenance measures and machine inspections.
