Master Data and IPSECA Standards

Data standards set out the minimum requirements that must be met and the quality expectations for managing many specific areas of the work management function.

The AMA team of data experts has developed a set of Master Data Standards that can be utilized to get you over 80% of the way there and, with a slight bit of customization, can ensure that your organization’s master data will be a significant competitive advantage. Utilizing our standards package is a fraction of the cost of developing the standards from scratch. Modifying the standards to meet your business needs is quickly within reach.

As part of the Master Data Packages that AMA has assembled, we provide the following additional deliverables:

Master data governance framework
- Adapt high-level governance structure – identify at a high level what EAM components will be in the governance structure and who is responsible from a global/corporate/local level. Components include maintenance philosophy, corporate policies, guidelines etc. This is focused on EAM due to the two data object types (equipment and materials)
- Adapt mid-level organizational structure – identify how data will be governed from an EAM perspective, e.g. governance council, stewardship group, data owners etc.
- Adapt roles and responsibilities – a Fit-for-Purpose governance structure
- Minimum data standards for technical objects in your CMMS

Master Data Management (if not already in place)
- Adapt master data management process flows (e.g. how to request creation/change/deletion of master data)
- Determine compliance reporting requirements and reports (e.g. Equipment Data Health Check requirements)

In each approach, it is our policy that AMA deliver a 2-day workshop to cover the theory and hands-on development around the standards. This is separately billable and not part of the cost of the standard or related documents.
