As a proud partner at this year’s event, we will be presenting a paper that will show how you can integrate, cooperate and communicate; using the stock- standard SAP tools, as well as a one-day workshop that addresses the entrenchment of a holistic EAM mind-set across the full maintenance value chain.
Read on for a short synopsis of both talks.
Track Talk: Take the blame out of your maintenance game: Fix your people not your systems
If you have been live on SAP for more than 6 months, the time for training is done, it is now time for Business Maturity Optimisation. This means your people will need to integrate, cooperate and communicate, using SAP, which implies you will need to dramatically alter your SAP culture. This change can only be achieved by using information from your SAP system to drive the next level of education and change. The power of this approach is that your efforts are not based on theory and hearsay, but rather one driven by facts, whereby the contribution of each individual in your maintenance value chain can be evaluated, and adjusted if needed. With an educated workforce in place, you can move to meaningful performance contracting, which is the final step in entrenching change. It’s as simple as: Tell me what you need me to do, show me how to do it, and then measure me – using standard SAP reports.

Workshop 1: Realising a Holistic Asset Management Mind-set with SAP: Integrate or Die!
Collaboration and integration across all departments - production planning, procurement, warehousing, maintenance and finance - is essential to ensuring a holistic asset management mind-set. Cross functional visibility using SAP becomes paramount, but is pointless with poor data integrity and a squall of inconsistent spreadsheets. SAP has powerful tool sets that you already own, and this workshop walk you through accessing this SAP functionality. You will be able to go back to your work place and start using these reports straight away.
