Ramco Asset Management
includes comprehensive asset management
capabilities at its core to help companies
achieve maximum asset availability
by reducing unplanned breakdowns,
as well as streamlining work practices,
enhancing equipment life, minimizing
equipment lifecycle costs, and increasing
labor productivity.
Asset Management has provisions to
set up and manage a maintenance organization
including an unlimited hierarchy of
geographical, functional, or planning
attributes. Tools are tracked in a
flexible inventory system that includes
serial numbers and hourly rates among
others. An asset induction process
includes equipment definitions along
with cost center details. Failure
groups can be established to aid in
failure analysis and for the formulation
of troubleshooting steps.
Asset Management also has provisions
for work management with tasks and
procedures along with defined work
elements. Work logs facilitate log
book reporting of incidents and observations.
Work requests feature automatic routing
based on rules with completion status
tracking. A complete work order system
ensures tracking and control of assets
and labor costs while a planning and
scheduling system prioritizes work
orders based on parts availability
and resource loads.
Maintenance scheduling can be both
preventative and predictive based.
Schedules can be defined based on
time or usage along with consumption
parameters such as operating hours
or fuel consumed. Rules can be applied
to link maintenance to other equipment,
availability, seasonal considerations,
as well as inspections and observations.
The outage management facility aids
the definition of large projects when,
for instance, a plant is shut down.
The permit facility ensures safety
and clearance permits are managed
to prevent damage or injury. A calibration
capability specifies parameters for
adjustments to equipment. A planning
capability for maintenance budgeting
is available along with a complete
history of maintenance for all equipment.
Asset Management includes real time
integration (RTI) capabilities with
standard SCADA/DCS/PLCs/Industrial
controls.
