Research On The Problems Of Implementing EAM System In Enterprises

A fat person can get comfortable by losing fat and walking. It is also easy for an enterprise to use EAM system to help equipment maintenance and other asset management.

At present, the demand for asset management in traditional industries is growing, especially the demand for asset management in large enterprises.

But speaking of EAM, it is not widely known. However, with the rapid economic development, it can bring unexpected value to enterprises.

But many enterprises are puzzled when they choose to implement the management information system. Should they first go to ERP or EAM or directly to the EAM system? In 1980, Chinese enterprises began to introduce ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system. By 2000, China has invested a lot of money in ERP, but there are not many successful cases.

Even if some enterprises have been on the ERP system, the management level of their equipment has declined. The reason is that the ERP system is a resource planning management system for the management of the entire supply chain resources, and is a set of management system with the core of finance. Although the asset management section is also included in the ERP suite, the enterprises with high requirements for asset management, such as power and other asset intensive enterprises, can not manage the specific equipment in a comprehensive and standardized way. There are many parts that have nothing to do with cash flow, but have to be repaired and tested, which can not be included in the ERP platform.

Therefore, the industry experts say that for the enterprises with high asset management requirements, the efficiency of ERP has reached the limit. In the face of advanced and more expensive large-scale equipment, its maintenance, repair and accessories have become a huge expense for enterprises. How to ensure that the cost is lossless is the task of EAM in the use of ERP to realize the cost.

EAM (enterprise asset management system) is a computerized asset management and maintenance system. It can help enterprises obtain better performance information management from tangible assets, and enable enterprises to get rid of the "bloated" and "sluggish" problems caused by asset management.

For example, a fat person can get comfortable by losing fat and walking. It is also easy for an enterprise to use EAM system to help equipment maintenance and other asset management.

Haydn, chief consultant of Beijing New Technology Co., Ltd., Feng Bingqiang, said: "many of the process companies that have introduced the ERP system are eager to get to the EAM system because EAM and ERP are concerned about different aspects.

EAM is concerned about the maintenance and spare parts management of enterprises, and the work related to these two contents, such as the annual inspection of machinery and equipment, lubrication, inspection of pipelines in individual industries and so on, is not related to cash flow. In this case, the ERP system whose core is finance is unable to cover all the asset management links, so the EAM system is very necessary.

Although the EAM system involves the early selection and purchase of equipment, inventory and later equipment management examination and so on, it has a fusion part with ERP, but ERP and EAM have different customer types.

EAM system is very suitable for large capital and technology intensive enterprises such as power, telecommunications, petrochemical and so on, because modern enterprise management is increasingly emphasizing the use of tangible assets to produce high-quality goods and provide quality services.

Should enterprises with high requirements for asset management directly introduce the EAM system with equipment maintenance and spare parts management as the primary concern? For example, if the industry such as coal mines, ports and other industries first deploy EAM, will there be no more ERP?

Zou Yong, the business consulting manager of Infor technology licensing department, points out that every enterprise in different industries should take their own actual situation as the starting point, suit local conditions and select only suitable management system for their own industry.

The main reason for making a choice is to see where an enterprise should get more profits on the line. If it is a financial centered enterprise with a focus on resource circulation and planning, there is no need to choose EAM.

However, if the enterprises in the process industry prefer equipment management, EAM is the first choice.

He added: "although some people think that EAM and ERP are merging, it is like a general hospital. Although the Department is complete, the medical level is not low, but after all, it is not as professional as specialized hospitals."

If the enterprises choose the EAM system of foreign manufacturers or the system developed by domestic manufacturers, Feng Bingqiang of Haydn suggests, "if the enterprise itself is a replicable mode, such as the power industry, its own industry standard is very strong, and foreign manufacturers have already issued a more standardized EAM system, and it is also a good choice to take liberalism. Electric power, steel and other energy enterprises choose products from CA and MRO companies.

However, R & D oriented enterprises need to find cooperation with their own software vendors, and at this point, domestic manufacturers still have their own advantages.

EAM's gold content EAM will bring benefits and safety to enterprises.

First of all, EAM will bring the greatest benefit to the enterprise, which is scientifically standardizes the management of enterprise equipment, and let the management of "human brain" be pformed into "computer" management.

The core idea of EAM is to manage equipment on the basis of statistics and analysis based on a large amount of historical and accumulated data information.

The longer the device runs, the more data, the more regular things, and the more effective information is provided. EAM can be said to be an ever more accurate system.

With the introduction of EAM, enterprises can avoid overrepair or lack of maintenance.

Feng Bingqiang told reporters, "before the EAM system was put into operation, Jilin petrochemical company needed two major repairs every two years, and the cost was 500 million yuan per time, and the same size enterprise would only take 4~5 years to repair it in South Korea.

It can be seen that the cost of equipment maintenance is 2~3 times higher than that of foreign enterprises, because the degree of equipment management in our enterprises is not enough.

Chinese enterprises mainly increase maintenance costs on the basis of subjective judgment and so on, otherwise they will be afraid of problems, which will lead to relative overrepair.

Of course, due to the lack of standardization and accuracy in the operation of equipment, sometimes there will be a lack of maintenance, which will cause hidden trouble for safety in production.

For example, equipment maintenance should be carried out in 2 years. As a result, the equipment will fail ahead of schedule due to sudden power failure or other special circumstances, and the enterprise will suffer great losses.

EAM embodies the management concept of preventive maintenance and cost accounting. Equipment assets account for more than 50% of the company's total assets or the company's production equipment reaches the order of tens of thousands of dollars. It is necessary to introduce EAM system. As a result, to avoid maximum maintenance or lack of maintenance, enterprises will get higher return on assets and achieve a more secure and reliable production environment.

Liu Jian, sales director of Infor company in China, introduced the grading standard of the benefits that EAM will bring to the enterprises. The company uses the EAM system to increase the amplitude of the equipment, improve the effective working time of the equipment 10% to 20%, reduce the inventory of equipment and accessories by 10% to 25%, reduce the time of maintenance (maintenance), 10% to 20%, and improve the efficiency of the machine 20% to 30%, Liu Jianming also said that the data show that EAM has standardized and quantified the assets management of enterprises through the pre planning, in process handling and post evaluation analysis of assets management, so that the management of assets is more clear. "EAM"

Although different enterprises have different management modes, EAM can definitely enable enterprises to achieve the goal of sustainable development of safety and health, and truly achieve energy conservation.

In addition, Liu Jianming also said: compared with the ERP system, EAM involves a few departments, a simple process of involving the process, the investment scale is generally ERP 1/5 to 1/10, and the implementation cycle is short and the return is fast. It is an effective and convenient way for enterprise information.

If an enterprise has a complete EAM system, it can provide a "fault experience library" for enterprises through long-term practice. Enterprises will not worry about the corresponding losses caused by brain drain, and at the same time, it will also help greatly the training of new arrivals.

Despite the successful application of EMA in large asset intensive enterprises, not all enterprises with high requirements for asset management are eager to introduce a EAM system to speed up their own information technology. At the same time, EAM is a new asset management mode, which is an advanced and effective management idea and method. However, in actual promotion and application, if its application depth and breadth are not in place, the effect will not be significant, and it will even become an "encumbrance" of enterprises.

The central economic work conference, which has just concluded, stressed that we must have a deep understanding that "good and fast development" is the essential requirement for the full implementation of Scientific Outlook on Development.

The so-called "good and fast" is "good" before the word, and then "fast".

In order to realize information management, enterprises must also be moderate and suitable first, which is a good foundation.

Therefore, when implementing EAM, we should pay attention to the following two points: first, enterprises should choose the most suitable software system according to their own actual conditions.

Feng Bingqiang introduced the experience of Beijing drainage group. The North row had a long time selection analysis before the upper EAM system. The choice process is the biggest premise for the final system to make good use of the bad, and it is also a process of running in between the enterprise and the manufacturer. Only by running in well, can the enterprise "tailor" and set up the software system which is most suitable for its own characteristics and can play its own efficiency.

Secondly, the implementation of EAM is a comprehensive pformation of enterprise asset management.

EAM is not only a set of systems, but also a manifestation of management thought and a basic project.

After all, the computer system is operated by human beings. Therefore, it is necessary to formulate relevant management systems, correct all operators' attitudes, and strictly require operators to operate in accordance with the requirements.

The Beijing drainage group has held hundreds of leading meetings before the EAM system. It also stipulated the discipline of iron and the basic work of management, which no good application software and software supplier could provide.

Liu Jianming, sales director of Infor EAM, China, also gave the same advice. Maybe EAM system may increase the necessary workload for some employees, but the enterprise must instilling a global idea for employees, not because of the laziness of individual operators, resulting in the decline or failure of the whole system efficiency.

Because the use of the EAM system is a process of rising circulation, it may only be the owners of the assets that get the benefits at first, but the benefits will be revealed slowly.

The leader of an enterprise must deal with the conflict of interests between the employees and the lower level employees.

Only by achieving ideological unity and strict discipline can the EAM system realize its standardized asset management and enhance the value of return on assets.

This is also a key means for enterprises to avoid the embarrassing situation of "riding a tiger hard" after the introduction of high capital into the system.
