Enterprise Asset Management Systems

Enterprise Asset Management Systems (EAM), or Computer Aided Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) as they have been historically known, come in many different forms in terms of complexity, cost, scalability and architecture.

Peacock Engineering has chosen to focus on the IBM Tivoli Maximo Asset Management Software System, and across the team we have over 100 man-years of implementation experience. Amongst the consulting team we also have nearly 10 years worth of experience of using and administering Maximo asset management systems as client end-users.

As a leader in its class, Tivoli Maximo asset management software is a sophisitated and scalable EAM system that combines asset life cycle and maintenance management to provide a cross-industry solution that can support businesses in their pursuit of ever-leaner operations.

As part of the Tivoli product group within IBM, Maximo Asset Management software sits alongside Tivoli Service Request Manager and Tivoli Asset Management for IT to provide a single unified solution to the challenge of maintaining assets and service levels in a convergent world where Engineering and IT are increasingly synonymous.

Some of the drivers for implementing Tivoli Maximo Asset Management Software include:

• Compliance. There will some element of compliance within all industries, however for some, the requirement to demonstrate compliance with Safety, Environmental, Pharmaceutical or other industry legislation is an absolute license to operate. Maximo provides rich functional support to manage the compliance processes and retain the evidence trail need to demonstrate effective control.
• Availability. In any industry, the earning potential of the assets is intrinsically linked to them being able to fulfil their operational purpose when needed. In many industries, the reliable and sustained availability of assets is a key contributor to product quality, profitability and operational efficiency. In many situtations the non-availability of an assets represents an operational loss that cannot be recovered. Maximo provides a flexible and sophisticated capability for managing preventive and predictive maintenance regimes that includes meter and usage based maintenance, condition monitoring and failure cause analysis.
• Preservation. Operational Assets have invariable cost many millions to procure and install, and as such are expected to perform effectively within their design life. A key aspect of this, will be the execution of regular and appropriate maintenance to ensure that these assets continue to performance to the expected standard and that the life of the asset is maintained.

Peacock Engineering have extensive experience of implementing Maximo, both from a Strategic and Business Process perspective, as well as having a technical consulting team that understand in detail the challenges of installation, configuration and development of the Maximo product suite.
