Enterprise Assets Management (eAM) eAM Functionality |
|||||||||
Work Requests | A Work Request serves a different function than a Work Order; it is a request for maintenance on an asset (Capital or Rebuildable Inventory). eAM enables operations and maintenance staff to report any problems with an asset. A supervisor can approve, request additional information, or reject a Work Request. A Work Request requires approval before it is generated into a Work Order. The Work Requests tab enables you to query existing, and create new Work Requests for an asset. | ||||||||
Work Request Statuses | Open - A Work Request
is created in an Open status. Awaiting Work Order - The Work Request status changes from Open to Awaiting Work Order if the individual on the approval route has approved it. If the Auto-Approve Work Request functionality is enabled for the current organization, the status is automatically Awaiting Work Order. On Work Order - After a Work Request is associated with a Work Order, the status changes to On Work Order. Rejected - The individual on the approval route rejected the Work Request. Additional Information - If the Work Request's status is Additional Information, the originator needs to add the requested information. Complete - The Work Request status transitions to Complete when the Work Order associated with the request is completed. |
||||||||
eAM Work Management | The Work Order is the foundation for all maintenance organizations. Work orders define the resources and items that are needed to conduct work. They can automatically generate through the use of Preventive Maintenance Schedules, the issue of an inventoried rebuildable, breach of quality results, or manually generated as a routine Work Order. These | ||||||||
eAM Work Orders | Enterprise Asset Management Work Orders are created for assets and rebuildable inventory items. They are defined manually, or generated automatically based on a scheduled Activity. | ||||||||
Routine Work Orders | Routine Work Orders are normally created by a Planner from the Maintenance Workbench | ||||||||
Preventive Maintenance Work Orders | Enterprise Asset
Management enables you to generate Work Orders automatically based on meter
readings, runtime intervals, and calendar days. Preventive maintenance
Activities reduce the probability of failure or degradation of the assets'
physical conditions.Meters are entered to measure any Asset Number that needs
to be measured and periodically serviced, based on the measurement.For
example, a pipe may start out at 12 millimeters, but when it wears to only
four millimeters, it needs to be replaced.Scheduling definitions are defined
to create forecasted, scheduled Work Orders, based on meter readings. |
||||||||
Rebuild Work Orders | Rebuild Work Orders
are created as child Work Orders.For example, a Work Order was issued for the
inspection of a pump. During the pump inspection, you found that the motor,
one of the components of the pump, is problematic. You have two options: You can repair and then reinstall this motor (rebuildable item), or you can replace the rebuildable item by issuing a new motor rebuildable item from inventory. If you choose to perform a material issue from inventory, the old motor rebuildable item attaches to the Work Order, automatically creating the child, rebuild Work Order number associated to the parent Work Order. In this case, the Asset Number genealogy would automatically update to identify this new item number.If you choose to repair and then reinstall the problematic motor rebuildable item, you can manually create the child rebuild Work Order for the old motor (rebuildable item). |
||||||||
Easy Work Orders | Easy Work Orders are unplanned Work Orders, and enable you to avoid operation and resource planning. An Activity does not default into the Work Order, based on the Asset Number/Activity association as with planned Work Orders, however, you can add an Activity to an Easy Work Order. These Work Orders are only created in Maintenance User. Work Orders can create at any status, such as Released | ||||||||
eAM Work Order Statuses | Draft status > then move to > Released > Complete > and finally Closed | ||||||||
Draft | Infinite resource capacity scheduling of Work Orders at a Draft status may take place. You cannot charge labor, or request material for Work Orders at this status. | ||||||||
Released | After a Work Order is Released, you can execute a Work Order. You can charge labor, request material, and scheduling for this Work Order takes place | ||||||||
Unreleased | You can move an
Enterprise Asset Management Work Order in Draft or Released status to
Unreleased. Scheduling can take place for these Work Orders but you cannot charge labor or request material. An Unreleased Work Order cannot be changed to a Draft status. |
||||||||
Pending Scheduling | If the Scheduler is enabled, the Work Order status changes to Pending Scheduling, if a status of Released is chosen. After the Scheduler process finishes running, the status changes back to Released. | ||||||||
Complete | A Complete status for an Enterprise Asset Management Work Order does not require any completed operations. When a Work Order is completed, you can still charge labor. You can uncomplete a Work Order; this transitions it to a Released status. | ||||||||
Complete - No Charges | A Complete - No Charges status for an Enterprise Asset Management Work Order does not require any completed operations. You cannot charge labor at this status. You cannot update associated asset hierarchy, work order hierarchy, material, resource, operation, cost, collection plan results, work request, and attachment information on a Work Order that is at a Complete - No Charges status. | ||||||||
Closed | You cannot charge any accounts after an Enterprise Asset Management Work Order is closed. If a Work Order was at a Released status at the time of closing it, you can unclose the Work Order to bring it back to a Released status. If a Work Order was at a Complete status at the time of closing it, you can unclose the Work Order to bring it back to a Complete status. | ||||||||
On-Hold | Enterprise Asset Management Work Orders at Released and Unreleased statuses can be put on hold. You cannot charge labor or request material for a Work Order at this status. | ||||||||
Cancel | You can cancel an Enterprise Asset Management Work Order at any status in its lifecycle. | ||||||||
Asset Shutdown Statuses | Shutdown of an asset is sometimes necessary to perform a maintenance Activity. You can create new shutdown information associated with an asset, or view existing shutdown history information already recorded to an asset. Shutdown information consists of start and end dates, Work Order numbers requiring maintenance on the asset, and specific operation sequences. | ||||||||
Direct Item Material Requirements | Direct Items represent items with infrequent use or criticality; they are not included in the internal catalog as stocked items. These items are considered as "one off", bought directly from a vendor for a specific Work Order and Operation. These items are delivered directly to the Shop Floor for maintenance Work Order execution. To set up Non-Stock Direct Items, access the Master Item window within Oracle Inventory, and set up the item with the Stockable check box cleared. | ||||||||
Parent-Child Relationship | The Parent-Child Relationship enables a network of Work Orders, which includes one top level Work Order that defines the time line of all its children Work Orders. The start and end dates of the child Work Orders are within the start and end dates of the parent Work Order. The parent Work Order dates are scheduled, while its child Work Orders automatically schedule, as well. | ||||||||
End to Start Dependency | You can create Work Orders with scheduling dependency relationships (including child sibling Work Orders). For example, one Work Order's scheduled start date is dependent on another Work Order's completion. With this relationship, the next Work Order cannot start until the prior Work Order is completed. | ||||||||
Cost Relationship | You can optionally roll a child Work Order's costs into the parent Work Order, for reporting purposes. You can perform cost roll ups on ad hoc Work Orders because the cost roll up is independent of scheduling elationships. You can base the cost roll up, within a hierarchy, on scheduling relationships, as well. Scheduling relationships are not required to roll up costs within a hierarchy. | ||||||||
Follow-up Work Relationship | You can create a Work Order for a capital Asset Number or Rebuildable Item, while executing work for the asset on another Work Order. For example, a second problem with an asset is discovered while executing a Work Order. A Follow-up Work Order, associated with the original Work Order, is created for the issue. | ||||||||
Preventive Maintenance | eAM generates Work
Orders automatically based on meter readings, runtime and/or calendar days.
An example of meter-based preventive maintenance is your car's oil changes.
Most car manufacturers recommend that you change your engine oil every 3,000
miles or six months, whichever comes first. To set up the above scenario,
define your car's odometer as a meter. Next, associate that meter to an asset
(your car), using the Asset Meter Association window. After you have
associated the meter to the asset, associate the Maintenance Activity (oil
change) that should occur, based on the meters you defined. This is performed
via Preventive Maintenance Scheduling. |
||||||||
Meters | Meters are defined and associated with Asset Numbers to measure an asset or rebuildable item's usage. Examples include odometers or counters. Meters are used in Preventive Maintenance Scheduling to schedule and generate Preventive Maintenance Work Orders. | ||||||||
Direct
Item Procurement for eAM Work Orders |
Enterprise Asset Management (eAM) Direct Item Procurement enables you to order items directly to your maintenance organization Purchase requisitions and purchase orders of such items capture the Work Order for which they are required. If the Work Order is project related, then the project and task information is captured in the purchase requisition. You can procure Non-Stock and Description-based Direct Items, without accessing iProcurement, as well. To enable direct item (both supplier catalog and non-catalog items) procurement for eAM Work Orders directly from an eAM Work Order, set the PO: Enable Direct Delivery To Shop Floor profile option to Yes. You can manually create requisitions for Direct Items within iProcurement or Purchasing. If you have Oracle iProcurement installed, you can access supplier catalog items directly from an eAM Work Order. If you create a requisition within iProcurement, the Work Order and operation information generates as you proceed to checkout | ||||||||
eAM Direct Procurement Accounting | For all requisition or purchase order distribution lines with a destination type of Shop Floor (not related to outside processing), the amount (quantity * purchase price * exchange rate) charges to the eAM Work Order Material account. Receiving entry (Dr:- Receiving Inspection XXX - Cr: -Accounts Payable Accrual - XXX ) Delivery - (Dr. Work Order Material XXX - Cr. Receiving Inspection - XXX) | ||||||||
Outside Service Processing | Contractor services are defined as work services provided by an organization or person who is not an employee of your company. Contractors are paid for their work based on an agreed upon contract or agreement. For example, a contractor service may be a painting service. It is also important to associate the purchasing transactions, such as the requisition and purchase order, to the Work Order. Item type should be Outside processing , Check the outside processing in eAM resources. | ||||||||
Property Manager Integration | Property Manager can store three-level land or building hierarchies, providing a parent/child location hierarchy. eAM provides a parent/child asset hierarchy. The integration enables locations defined in Property Manager to import into eAM as Asset Numbers. The process also imports the land or building hierarchy, while respecting its current structure. | ||||||||
eAM Project Manufacturing | Create Project --> Associate project to Maintenance WO --> Create Requisition or Purchase Order ----> Update Commitments for projects --> Cost Collection | ||||||||
eAM Quality | eAM integrates with Quality, enabling you to collect quality results on your assets. If an asset is not up to the required standards, a Work Request can automatically generate | ||||||||
eAM Billing | After the setup tasks are complete , you can bill third parties and customers the work performed, while maintaining an asset or servicing a customer request. Work Order Billing requires completed, billable Work Orders. First, create a Work Order that is associated with billable material, resources, and/or a billable Activity. After the Work Order is released, you can apply material and resources to it. Finally, after the Work Order is completed, the status is changed to Complete - No Charges. The Work Order is ready to bill. | ||||||||
Wireless
Maintenance User Workbench |
Maintenance User can log on to a mobile device and view all work that is assigned to him/her. You can view today's Work Orders, overdue work, and Work Orders that you are assigned to you in the future. | ||||||||
Maintenance User | The Maintenance User is a maintenance person who is generally responsible for completing tasks that are assigned on a Work Order. This person reports maintenance problems using Work Requests, troubleshoots on jobs, and works on a team with other maintenance workers. | ||||||||
Maintenance Super User | The Maintenance Super User is generally a Maintenance Planner or Supervisor and is often defined as a "super user". A Maintenance Planner plans and schedules maintenance jobs, manages and balances work loads over time, manages preventive maintenance strategy and scheduling, manages material requirements, monitors availability, and coordinates strategies with other departments, such as Operations, Purchasing, and Inventory. | ||||||||
eAM Stores Issuance | Material issue to Work
Orders and returns to Inventory are typical store room functions and are
provided by the Stores tab. There are two activities involved in delivering material from stores to a Work Order.First, a Material Issue Request is generated to request the material to a Work Order.This process is automated upon Work Order release, by selecting a check box in the Enterprise Asset Management Parameters |
||||||||
One
Step Issue & Two Step Issue |
There are two primary
methods used to issue material to a Work Order: One Step Issue and Two Step
Issue. The One Step Issue method is used to issue one-off or ad hoc material
to a work order; this does not involve the prior requesting of material and
can execute for both planned and unplanned material. The Two Step Issue
method involves two steps. The first step involves the maintenance planner or
user requesting material from stores, and the second step involves the stores room person delivering the material to the Work Order |
||||||||
Failure Analysis | Failure Analysis enables you to track an asset failure from the time it is reported until its resolution. Statistics from your collected failure data provide you with information on why an event occurs and causes your asset failure. You can then take the necessary steps to eliminate that event. | ||||||||
Activity Cause Report | Use the Activity Cause Report to report on reasons for your assets' failures, reported by Department, or Asset Number. An Activity Cause is a reason for an asset's failure, for example, Preventive, Normal Wear, Rework, and Breakdown. This information enables you to understand the dynamics that affect an asset's ability to perform. | ||||||||
Department Actual Cost Report | Use the Department Actual Cost Report to determine the actual costs charged to an Owning Department for a specified period of time. | ||||||||
Work Order Cost Report | Use the Work Order Cost Report to determine the costs charged to Work Orders for a specified period of time, and optionally, a Department range. | ||||||||
EAM Weekly Schedule Report | Use the EAM Weekly Schedule Report to display Work Order details, by specific owning department, within your crew's calendar week's starting dates. This report includes details, such as Work Order number, status, work description, start date, operation, department, resources, instance, priority, duration, estimated completion date, and the distribution of hours on a weekly basis. | ||||||||
Load Production Equipment Maintenance Downtime | After establishing, you can view the resource usage (maintenance Work Orders, batches, or FPOs) emanating from production, associated with a maintainable asset. You can also use the Load Production Equipment Maintenance Downtime process to view or purge your maintenance production equipment downtime. | ||||||||
Maintenance Work Order Detail Report | Use the Maintenance Work Order Detail Report to view and analyze all information related to a maintenance work order. You can create a report that displays user-defined values. For example, you can view all unreleased work orders for a specified date | ||||||||
Material Issue Request Pick List Report | Stocked inventory items may be necessary to perform work on maintenance Work Orders. Use the Material Issue Request Pick List Report to display all reserved stock for maintenance Work Orders, so that you can easily retrieve the necessary material. |
