Study Notes

Enterprise Asset Management (EAM)

  • SAP EAM manages assets throughout their lifecycle, including maintenance, inspection, and repair of equipment, machinery, and facilities.
  • Benefits of EAM include increased asset reliability (reduced breakdowns), improved efficiency (reduced downtime), cost savings (controlled maintenance expenses), and compliance with safety regulations.

EAM Organizational Structure

  • The organizational structure is hierarchical, with clients at the top, followed by company codes, plants, maintenance plants, responsible maintenance planning plants, and storage locations.
  • Clients are independent environments.
  • Company codes are the smallest organizational units with legal books.
  • Plants are operating areas (manufacturing, distribution, purchasing, or maintenance).
  • Storage locations differentiate stocks of spare parts within a plant.

EAM Master Data

  • Functional Locations: Hierarchical structure representing the location of maintenance activities (buildings, technical systems). Data includes all information about the location and can be used to subdivide similar maintenance units. Benefits include structural depiction, planning and performing maintenance tasks, verification, data gathering, cost monitoring, and behavioral analysis.
  • Equipment: Physical objects (pumps, computers, fans) requiring maintenance. Data includes administration, cost monitoring, verification, data gathering, and analysis for extended periods.
  • Bill of Materials (BOM): Structured list of all components (Material BOMs, Equipment BOMs, and Function Location BOMs). Used for structuring objects, service parts planning, and maintenance task lists for similar objects within a plant.

EAM Processes

  • Notifications: Signal malfunctions, breakdowns, and requirements for maintenance action. Notifications indicate when something requires immediate attention (repaired works) or record completed actions.
  • Planning: Order planning includes steps to be performed, required parts, and specialized tooling to fix equipment, machinery, and facilities.
  • Maintenance Orders: Created from maintenance plans, notifications, or without specific documents. Planned costs are based on internal activity rates and external service costs. Functions include mass changes, availability checks for spare parts, capacity requirements planning, and printing work instructions.
  • Implementation and Completion: Include steps like planned and unplanned material withdrawals, time confirmations, technical completion confirmations, and customer billing.
