Lean Asset Management--Is Preventive Maintenance Anti-Lean?
Olin Thompson 12/20/2004 12:00:00 AM
How can we determine the right maintenance strategy for a specific asset? To meet the objectives of lean, we need to evaluate the cost of failure in terms of both not meeting business objectives and any extra cost due to the need for unplanned or even emergency repairs.

Automated Enterprise: Many High-ROI Opportunities
Tom Pisello 10/30/2004 12:00:00 AM
An automated data center promises to self-configure, self-optimize, and self-protect. When looking to implement an automated data center, one must consider best practices in user and resource provisioning, infrastructure availability, and user management. Doing so will allow automated data centers to expedite the automation processes in IT operations and administration; virtualization and provisioning; security; and availability.

Enterprise Applications--The Genesis and Future, Revisited Part Three: 2000s--Back to the Future
P.J. Jakovljevic 4/2/2004 12:00:00 AM
A typical ERP system indeed now offers broad functional coverage nearing the best-of-breed capabilities; vertical industry extensions; a strong technical architecture; training, documentation, implementation and process design tools; product enhancements; global support; and an extensive list of software, services and technology partners. While it is not a system-in-a-box yet, the gap between its desired and actual features is becoming smaller every day.

Enterprise Applications--The Genesis and Future, Revisited Part Two: 1990s--Enterprise Resource Planning
P.J. Jakovljevic 4/1/2004 12:00:00 AM
Integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) software solutions became synonymous with competitive advantage, particularly throughout the 1990's. Customers were demanding to have their products delivered when, where, and how they wanted them. Companies were therefore compelled to develop and embrace the philosophies of just in time (JIT) and closer supplier partnerships as a way to remain competitive.

Enterprise Applications--The Genesis and Future, Revisited Part One: 1960s--Pre-Computer Era
P.J. Jakovljevic 3/31/2004 12:00:00 AM
Knowing the history and evolution of enterprise applications is essential to understanding their current use and future developments. Each step in the evolution of the software is built on the fundamentals and principles developed within the previous one, which holds true for the contemporary phase of the 2000s as well.

EAM versus CMMS: What's Right for Your Company? Part Four: IFS and Intentia Responses
Joe Strub,P.J. Jakovljevic 3/18/2004 12:00:00 AM
The primary benefit of enterprise asset management (EAM) is the reliability-centered maintenance. Let’s face it: any process that can help you improve what you are doing now and enables you to do it better in the future is the best thing since "sliced bread". Providing data to feed back into a process can only increase operational revenues and decrease maintenance expenses. Nonetheless, beware of EAM vendors explaining the ease with which these interfaces can be constructed and modified in the future based on new software releases.

EAM versus CMMS: What's Right for Your Company? Part Three: Analysis of IFS and Intentia
Joe Strub,P.J. Jakovljevic 3/17/2004 12:00:00 AM
Having traditionally done implementations via their product delivery organization, IFS and Intentia also have long exhibited a focus on product quality and customer satisfaction, which manifests into a lasting relationship with each client. However like other enterprise resource planning (ERP) and supply chain management (SCM) software vendors, Intentia and IFS need to string together several quarters of profitability to restore consumer confidence and long-term stability.

EAM versus CMMS: What's Right for Your Company? Part Two: Integration Concerns
Joe Strub,P.J. Jakovljevic 3/16/2004 12:00:00 AM
In most cases, companies will acquire enterprise asset management (EAM) software but the interfaces to external systems will have to be constructed.

Joe Strub,P.J. Jakovljevic 3/15/2004 12:00:00 AM
As companies continue to look for more areas from which to squeeze out revenues and reduce expenses, enterprise asset management (EAM) and computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) software continue to receive good press as the systems providing an answer--and with justification. But what software makes the most sense for your company and from which providers--EAM/CMMS best-of-breed incumbents or enterprise resource planning (ERP) "newcomers?" Read on to understand the key differentiators.

Maintenance Software--How to Negotiate Successful Contracts with CMMS Vendors
David Berger 2/25/2004 12:00:00 AM
When negotiating a contract with a computer maintenance management system (CMMS) vendor the guiding principals and definition of the project must first be determined. Deliverables, pricing options, payment terms, continuance, product and service quality, and liabilities are additional areas that must be considered in negotiations.
