Effective work management will dramatically improve the productivity of the maintenance function and outcomes. It is one of the fastest and most effective investments an organization can make to improve productivity and availability. The Asset Management Advocates 2-day course will assist organizations using SAP’s EAM solution to transition to a point where the majority of maintenance work is planned and scheduled within the SAP system.

  • Planning and scheduling of the day-to-day maintenance work-load
  • Planning and scheduling of outage/shutdown work
  • Planning and scheduling of capital projects

This workshop will delve deep into planning and scheduling methodologies, as well as discussion about the different options of scheduling within and outside of SAP. Reference examples and business scenarios will be used to illustrate specific implementations.
