Enterprise Asset Management (EAM)
SAIC offers a full range of services to help you maximize your return on investment and exploit the business value from your Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) software package. We focus on providing planning and conceptualization, implementation, follow-on support, and long-term service related to our customers' needs in achieving best-value future-state. SAIC's Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) practice supports Maximo®, Ventyx™, SAP, Oracle® and other enterprise-wide asset and work management software. We also provide solutions that help manage maintenance and repair operations (MRO), inventory and human resources associated with capital assets, such as equipment and facilities. Representative results are as follows:
- Improve equipment and plant capacity utilization
- Extend and improve asset performance with appropriate preventive and predictive maintenance
- Implement strategic MRO initiatives
- Optimize asset efficiency and inventory levels
- Asset life extension by incorporating condition monitoring and assessment
- Automate key supplier and operational collaborative processes
- Improve asset efficiency and sustainability readiness
Maintenance Best Practices Assessment
SAIC employs techniques to re-engineer maintenance processes and embody best work management practices in a cost-efficient business rules driven manner, improving overall asset efficiency. SAIC's team of experts employs a step-by-step approach that identifies and documents critical work processes in their as-is condition and then maps them to the best practice maintenance reliability model. By exploiting appropriate technologies, an optimal to-be state can be achieved.
Asset Management Enablement
SAIC's value-added approach establishes pre-implementation knowledge and planning throughout all critical aspects of an asset management program, thereby streamlining and managing a rapid realization of tangible benefits. The initial implementation of an asset management system can be a daunting task for any company, requiring careful planning and execution. Major upgrades of existing systems can become equally challenging. The collaborative methodology employed by SAIC for system implementation is a business rules driven approach that is scalable and repeatable, thereby significantly reducing the risk of budget overruns and not fully exploiting system functionality.
Maintenance Stairway
When properly configured, the online CMMS stores asset information in an organized way so that it can be more easily retrieved and displayed in a meaningful and concise format for analysis. In turn, this asset information can fuel an evolutionary process to transition maintenance over time through a series of stages from a reactive process to a predictive process, thereby reducing or eliminating production breakdowns. SAIC's comprehensive approach analyzes the online system, maintenance processes, asset information and the technologies required for the various stages of maintenance and optimizes them to fit a company's needs. The approach starts with reactive maintenance and backlogs and progresses through each subsequent stage in the maintenance pyramid.
Data Management and Migration
Asset data must be accurate and complete to ensure maximum benefit and minimize cost for your day-to-day operations. SAIC's experienced maintenance professionals verify equipment records before entering your asset management system. We employ state-of-the-art methods and approaches to assure that your asset attributes are properly managed and retained.
System Interoperability
SAIC specializes in system integration. SAIC services include the following:
- Interface Analysis
SAIC uses a number of tools to develop inbound or outbound interfaces for customers. These tools include the use of relational database technologies (e.g., DB triggers, XML messaging, stored procedures, etc.), point-to-point interfaces developed in Java (J2EE), or the use of middleware technologies, such as webMethods or MQ Series. - Installation and Configuration of Wireless/Mobile Technologies
SAIC provides end-to-end services to design and implement mobile and wireless products for use with systems such as Maximo, Ventyx, Oracle and SAP. - Business Integrations
SAIC has proven robust integrations with supporting asset management products and systems such as: - Geospatial asset management systems (e.g., ESRI, Small World),
- Data historians (e.g., PI Historian),
- Document management systems (e.g., Documentum)
- Custom Functionality
When a business needs very specialized functionality, SAIC has considerable experience in customizing packaged software where default functionality must be overridden or new functionality added. SAIC's approach includes the ability to customize business logic and processing, modifications to business components or modification/creation of database-level logic.
MRO Planning Excellence
SAIC's solution addresses the challenge of predicting and planning the demand for MRO work in such a way that better enables the scheduling of labor, materials and special equipment with a focus on achieving strategic MRO by exploiting technology-based solutions. Through work-planning excellence, achieving the restoration of critical assets to their optimal operating condition is a formidable goal that can be met by operations and maintenance departments today. Budget, production demands, availability of labor and materials and other constraints simultaneously play into the decision to perform maintenance on assets. By addressing these constraints with technology, the inefficiencies in the work-planning process can be squeezed out.
