Facility Management

VS_FacilityMtce

Integrated service management is the key to work backlog management. 

Having advanced maintenance planning, scheduling and compliance tools like the award winning Visual Planner™ enables Operations and Maintenance Managers to have direct line of sight to the maintenance priorities of the day without losing focus or view of the long term work plans.

Visual Solutions for Smarter Facility Management automates the work management process.

By merging asset health and production event data with maintenance readiness information Facilities Operations and Maintenance managers and workers will have real-time visibility to their facility and plant environment. With this trusted and transparent asset / resource state data they can make informed decisions to achieve OEE and extend the asset lifecycle of their revenue generating assets.

Visual Solutions for Smarter Facility Management is an embedded configuration of IBM Maximo® for Asset Management applications that simplify and automate the planning & scheduling and assignment processes related to breakdown, predictive, preventive and autonomous program maintenance and regulatory compliance requirements within facilities management and plant service operations.

FM ArchUsing Visual Calendars, Smart Resource Leveling and Visual Scheduler factory maintenance managers can effectively track, monitor and manage the maintenance, overhaul and repair of strategic production assets.

Leveraging IBM Maximo’s integration readiness for I/O with GIS systems, CAD, engineering instrumentation, asset health / monitor technologies and meter reading from handhelds, the Maximo Business Objects (MBO) transform digital data into vital asset information used to trigger condition monitoring alerts, initiate workflow processes and generate meter-based work orders.

CiM’s Visual Planner Suite extends the power of IBM Maximo® Preventive Maintenance, Work Order Tracking Calendar and Assignment modules to enable Manufacturing Operations and Maintenance personnel to deploy Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) practices to achieve Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE).

Smart Calendars will have identified the availability of labor resources, shop work assets and production location availability. Smart Resource Leveling will qualify craft availability, labor qualification, work type, work order priority, asset criticality, production priority and compound resource loads to automatically assign the work order. Smart Schedule will associate this qualified event / work with the entire work order backlog to balance, sequence and deploy the work order in a manner consistent with your Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and established weekly production priorities.
