Improving Fleet Preventative Maintenance<br />
through RFID<br />
Presenter: Natalie Christensen, City of Abbotsford<br />
Intermediate<br />
The City of Abbotsford identified that it had considerable administrative<br />
inefficiencies surrounding the manual collection of<br />
odometer readings and operating hours for the fleet. The impact<br />
of inaccurate and missing data has cost the municipality time<br />
and money in wasted management and administration time,<br />

“Progress comes from intelligent use of experience.”<br />
missed maintenance events, premature maintenance events,<br />
and inaccurate data.<br />
In order to improve data collection within the <strong>SAP</strong> PM module,<br />
the city has introduced a radio-frequency data transfer system<br />
supplied by U-Con systems. The “Wireless Data Modules” plug<br />
directly into the ECM of the vehicles and equipment, and utilizes<br />
RF to capture odometer readings, operating hours and other<br />
critical operating data. The implementation of this system has<br />
allowed the city to ensure securing accurate vehicle data, and<br />
obtaining critical reporting information.<br />
Lessons:<br />
Importance of accurate data for…<br />
• Proper preventative maintenance<br />
• Vehicle justification reports<br />
• Cost efficiencies<br />

using Measurement Points to Capture<br />
History of Equipment<br />
Presenter: Stephen Erslon, ConocoPhillips<br />
Beginner<br />
Manage and develop equipment history within <strong>SAP</strong> to capture<br />
history against an asset. ConocoPhillips uses measurement points<br />
to assist in tracking history for mechanical equipment. Through<br />
coding and designing, you can implement a system for your<br />
plant’s reliability group and craftsmen to easily enter data points.<br />
Capturing data within <strong>SAP</strong> negates the need to use satellite systems<br />
and keeps out information within the legacy system. Learn<br />
how ConocoPhillips developed their measurement points and<br />
how it expects to expand interests to many more types of assets.<br />
Lessons:<br />
• It’s easy to capture data history<br />
• Analyze data capture<br />
• Asset performance<br />

best Practices for Effective Capital<br />
Project Execution<br />
Presenter: Nick Cutsumbis, FirstEnergy<br />
Intermediate<br />
FirstEnergy Corporation, a diversified energy company headquartered<br />
in Akron, Ohio, is involved in generation, transmission and<br />
distribution of electricity, as well as energy management and<br />
other energy-related services. FirstEnergy uses both <strong>SAP</strong> and<br />
Primavera to plan and execute major and minor capital projects<br />
for its distribution lines of business. In an effort to reduce planning<br />
time, minimize costs and capitalize on existing investments<br />
in equipment and infrastructure throughout these capital projects,<br />
FirstEnergy sought to integrate the two systems.<br />
This case study presentation will address challenges that FirstEnergy<br />
encountered prior to integration and benefits realized afterwards.<br />
Focus will be on real world application of best practices<br />
and lessons learned as it relates to other companies looking to<br />
maximize their <strong>SAP</strong> investment.<br />
Lessons:<br />
• The project budget must originate from work schedule<br />
• An automated project forecast from Primavera into<br />
<strong>SAP</strong> is possible<br />
• Using Primavera LOE activities allows the <strong>SAP</strong> accounting structure<br />
and Primavera project structure to talk to each other<br />

Implementing Plant Maintenance in a<br />
Non-Manufacturing Environment<br />
Presenter: Romero San Agustin, Port of San Diego<br />
Beginner<br />
“Shutdown/Turnaround”, “Reliability-<strong>Centric</strong>” and “Results-<br />
Oriented” are terms seldom spoken at the Port of San Diego.<br />
Instead, reporting costs for the upkeep of the District’s parks<br />
and assets are more common practices. In October 2006, the<br />
Port of San Diego issued a Request for Proposal to implement<br />
<strong>SAP</strong> Plant Maintenance for the District’s General Services<br />
Department. The vendor selection process came down to two<br />
firms with different philosophies, one specialized in public sector<br />
implementations, and the other in <strong>EAM</strong>. The selection panel<br />
recommended the <strong>EAM</strong> approach hoping to capitalize on how<br />
the rest of the world managed its maintenance. Throughout<br />
the project lifecycle, re-engineering processes, designs and<br />
best practices were made. Flexibility was the key to this<br />
project’s success — the team and the system.<br />
Lessons:<br />
• You know your business, do not rely so much on how the rest<br />
of the world does things<br />
• Your implementation partners learn as much from you as you<br />
do from them<br />
• Have a very good contingency plan<br />

Calibration Solution in <strong>SAP</strong> Improves Productivity<br />
Presenters: Félix Vélez, Johnson & Johnson<br />
& Sammy Seifeddine, ABB Reliability Services<br />
Intermediate<br />
Faced with increasingly stringent compliancy requirements and<br />
escalating global competition, manufacturers in regulated industries<br />
must focus on improving processes to be successful. Calibration of<br />
test equipment in <strong>SAP</strong> can improve operational productivity<br />
while streamlining compliance to regulated mandates. This<br />
presentation demonstrates how GBSC, a Johnson & Johnson<br />
pharmaceutical company, was able to improve productivity by<br />
<strong>30</strong>% and realize a reoccurring annual savings of $375k through<br />
implementing calibration of test equipment in <strong>SAP</strong> using PM<br />
(Plant Maintenance) and QM (Quality Management) modules.<br />
Lessons:<br />
• Must take necessary steps in evaluating and selecting the<br />
right implementation partner for your business<br />
• Must have excellent teamwork between the business, IT,<br />
and implementation partner<br />
• Must redesign business processes to meet customer requirements<br />

Screen Simplifications using GuiXT<br />
Presenter: Patrick Reed, Essroc Cement<br />
Beginner<br />
Essroc implemented <strong>SAP</strong> R/3 Rel. 3.1H in 1999. Although the project<br />
was successful, there were training requirements that persisted<br />
since go-live because of employee turnover; an overwhelmed<br />
end-user base who initially learned “how” transaction procedures<br />
worked but never quite grasped the “why” part; and a general level<br />
of frustration regarding the limited amount of data required to<br />
complete a transaction compared to the number of fields included<br />
in the screen. The last point was particularly confounding because<br />
there was no validation techniques included within the transaction<br />
processing that would identify input errors as the transaction was<br />
entered. With a small <strong>SAP</strong> support staff, retraining was not an option<br />
for Essroc Cement and the idea of using simplified screen templates<br />
with built in validation logic was considered a strategic alternative.<br />
Lessons:<br />
• The need for ongoing training requirements to respond to<br />
employee turnover and the needs of the end-user base<br />
• Simplified screen templates, along with built in validation logic<br />
which includes a review of the accuracy of dependent transaction<br />
data, can be considered a strategic alternative for support<br />
staff training and retraining<br />

• Reduction in training time required for potential <strong>SAP</strong> upgrades<br />
can be achieved when common screen entry templates are<br />
migrated from the original system to the upgrade, thus eliminating<br />
any further training needs<br />
• Enhancements can provide improved quality for transaction<br />
data and overall employee satisfaction with the <strong>SAP</strong> R/3 system<br />

“Correct Change Required”— Culture Change<br />
and Implementation<br />
Presenter: Mike Hays, Tyson Foods, Inc.<br />
Beginner/Intermediate<br />
Many times <strong>SAP</strong> is seen as the “silver bullet” for <strong>EAM</strong>. However,<br />
developing business process, configuring the software, and training<br />
end users is only part of having a successful implementation.<br />
Success requires the organization to adopt the new business<br />
processes. Often before the new processes are adopted, a change of<br />
culture must occur. You must understand and recognize the steps<br />
in the change process, develop a plan to manage the change,<br />
arm your implementation team with change management skills,<br />
and sell the benefits to those ultimately responsible for improving<br />
business performance (the end users). Without a solid plan<br />
to convince your end users of the benefit and align the culture of<br />
your organization with the new business process, the expected<br />
return from an <strong>SAP</strong> <strong>EAM</strong> implementation may never be realized.<br />
Lessons:<br />
• Importance of a change management plan as part of overall<br />
implementation plan<br />
• How do I get buy-in?<br />
• What skills do the implementers need?<br />

Intermediate<br />
Aquarion Water Company (AWC), one of the 10 largest investorowned<br />
water utilities in the US, recently embarked on the “Next-<br />
Gen” project, with the goal of improving workflow, and<br />
optimizing resources and assets, thus capitalizing on their software<br />
and hardware investments. As part of this project, a new<br />
ERP system (<strong>SAP</strong>) was implemented, necessitating an integration<br />
between <strong>SAP</strong> and AWC’s GIS system.<br />
This presentation will provide insight into this integration project,<br />
focusing on individual implementation points and how these<br />
brought improvements to the various departments within AWC.<br />
Particular attention will be paid to how the GIS footprint was<br />
increased within the company and what values this brought to<br />
supervisors, managers, and executive officers.<br />

Mobile Inspection Management (MIM) for <strong>SAP</strong><br />
Presenters: John Renick, Meridium<br />
& Fancois Louw, Vesta Partners<br />
Expert<br />
Mobile Inspection Management (MIM) for <strong>SAP</strong>, a new solution<br />
developed completely in NetWeaver architecture allows<br />
operators, inspectors, and technicians to perform route based<br />
activities and capture data electronically in the field through a<br />
handheld application. MIM for <strong>SAP</strong> ensures that operators are<br />
monitoring critical equipment and failure symptoms identified<br />
by an overall asset strategy, as well as capturing data accurately<br />
in the field. In addition to the mobile application, MIM uses<br />
standard <strong>SAP</strong> <strong>EAM</strong> structures to do all route planning, scheduling,<br />
and work order management.<br />
This presentation will open a discussion on how MIM for <strong>SAP</strong><br />
integrates a company’s equipment strategies into day-to-day<br />
operations and surveillance programs while facilitating efficient<br />
assessment and quantification of asset performance.<br />

Implementations: Do's & Don'ts for Customer<br />
& Consultant<br />
Presenters: Tom Buckley, Pacific Gas & Electric Company<br />
& Rob Felix, New Dimension Solutions<br />
Intermediate<br />
A successful implementation or upgrade is critical for customers<br />
and consultants. Understanding each others needs and perspectives<br />
can dramatically improve the outcome of an implementation or<br />
upgrade. This presentation provides insights gained from former<br />
and ongoing implementations. The relationships between a customer<br />
and consultant are often based on assumptions which may<br />
not be accurate. The presentation will provide “real world” do’s<br />
and don’ts, rather than a “cookbook” view of implementations.<br />
Lessons:<br />
• Open communication is critical<br />
• Understanding the needs of the customer and consultant<br />
should be discussed, not assumed<br />
• The end-user has valuable information for both parties which is<br />
often overlooked<br />

Integrated Maintenance Program —<br />
How to Achieve Your business Goals<br />
Presenters: Greg Toomey, SKF Reliability Systems<br />
(content in part provided by Italo Freitas,<br />

Intermediate<br />
This presentation will cover a project that begins with developing<br />
business process models and ends with configuring and<br />
populating <strong>SAP</strong> to support the business goals. It also identifies<br />
all other maintenance program elements that have to be implemented<br />
and their ties to <strong>SAP</strong>.<br />
The project was for a combined cycle plant that was under construction.<br />
Given that the plant would have stringent contract<br />
requirements around reliability and availability coupled with a<br />
small plant staff, it necessitated a robust, integrated maintenance<br />
program from day one of operations.<br />
The process of how to create and implement a structured program<br />
will be covered including populating templates for <strong>SAP</strong> data. Multiple<br />
activities will be covered from identifying business goals to<br />
developing a standard taxonomy, PdM and operator activities and<br />
programs to priority scheme based on equipment criticality.

Covering All the bases for Sustainable<br />
Asset Performance<br />
Presenters: Berk Borrett, Catalyst Paper Corporation<br />
& Eric Wegscheider, Ivara<br />
Intermediate<br />
This session will illustrate how Ivara EXP Enterprise and the Ivara<br />
Work Smart implementation methodology, coupled with <strong>SAP</strong><br />
<strong>EAM</strong>, supported an optimal approach to asset performance<br />
improvement by bringing together, in a cohesive offering, solutions<br />
to three distinct problems. Implementation at Catalyst<br />
Paper’s four mills is highlighted.<br />
At the tactical level, identify and quickly resolve immediate and<br />
obvious problems with methodologies such as RCA (Root Cause<br />
Analysis). Analytical tools such as Weibull analysis, Life Cycle Cost<br />
modeling and others can be applied to quickly identify opportunities<br />
for immediate performance optimization.<br />
At the sustainable execution level, implement a comprehensive<br />
proactive reliability program across the asset base — from failure<br />
mode analysis to integrated condition monitoring and inspection<br />
management; asset and process performance tracking and<br />
alarming to initiation of timely condition-based work (the right<br />
work at the right time) driven by EXP, managed by <strong>SAP</strong> <strong>EAM</strong>.<br />
At the organizational change level, leverage Ivara’s renowned process<br />
and methodology to support and sustain organizational change.<br />
Lessons:<br />
• A balance is needed to support a cohesive and sustainable<br />
transition to proactive asset reliability that drives optimal asset<br />
performance<br />
• The mix and the sequence depend on the organization’s context<br />
and priorities<br />

Cu Implementation Guidance<br />
Presenter: Ronald Miller, <strong>SAP</strong> America<br />
Intermediate<br />
<strong>SAP</strong> compatible unit functionality offers flexibility and efficiency<br />
in creating work orders. But implementation can be a complex<br />
task. Due to the many interrelations of the CU functionality and<br />
existing PM functionality, not to mention MM and FICO, success<br />
depends on a thoroughly thought out design before the<br />
build is started.<br />
This presentation will discuss some of the areas where critical<br />
decisions must be made as well as the options and ramifications<br />
of those decisions. The areas to be covered include: CU<br />
complexity, the use of different plants on the associated task<br />
list, primary characteristics, design/order checking, use of<br />
reference equipment, use of hierarchical CU, materials planning,<br />
using operational level costing, limitations of the CU<br />
functionality, and getting started. The target audience for<br />
this session includes individuals with CU knowledge, but<br />
whose company has not yet implemented.<br />
Lessons:<br />
• Key decisions on how CU will be used must be made early in<br />
the solution design process<br />
• The CU solution must be looked at in a holistic manner as part<br />
of the overall solution due to its interrelated nature<br />
• CU solution is quite flexible, but that makes it more complex<br />
to implement<br />

Functional Approach to Planning<br />
& Scheduling with <strong>SAP</strong> basics<br />
Presenters: Paul Simmons, ConocoPhillips<br />
Intermediate<br />
A functional approach to performing oil refinery or manufacturing<br />
plant routine maintenance planning and scheduling using <strong>SAP</strong><br />
takes an understanding of expected inputs and required outputs.<br />
Even so, this can be done effectively and efficiently using standard<br />
<strong>SAP</strong> PM. In this presentation, Paul Simmons and Danny Hollie will<br />
apply their experience with setting up processes, procedures, and<br />
training to exemplify such success.
CONFERENCE DAY 2: TRACK 1<br />
Maintenance Effectiveness<br />
& Reliability<br />
While we are always looking at possibilities to improve planning<br />
& scheduling capabilities, these usually involve a time and money<br />
investment that does not always play out. The functional<br />
approach to using <strong>SAP</strong> for routine maintenance planning and<br />
scheduling requires at a basic level the following: 1) Maintenance<br />
process 2) Maintenance procedures 3) Focused planners 4)<br />
Emphasis on task lists created for repeatable work 5) Scheduled<br />
control of release and schedules 6) Proper schedule update flows.<br />
Lessons:<br />
• Building your base with solid preplans and task lists which<br />
include planning package documents<br />
• Setting up the proper flows of planned work orders and operational/maintenance<br />
priorities for scheduling by using order<br />
status coding, estimation fields, and revision codes<br />
• How to perform weekly and daily scheduling for routine maintenance<br />
with a 1 scheduler to 150+ ratio without any bells and<br />
whistles, just the <strong>SAP</strong> PM module<br />

Scheduling in <strong>SAP</strong><br />
Presenters: Ed Robinson, EMG <strong>–</strong> Midwest Generation<br />
& Gus McIntosh, Vesta Partners<br />
Intermediate<br />
In Q3 of 2007 EMG went live with an <strong>SAP</strong> <strong>EAM</strong> system solution<br />
to support its evolving maintenance/reliability processes. This<br />
was within a broader implementation that included SCM, Fuels<br />
Management, HC and FICO. One of the goals of the <strong>EAM</strong> project<br />
was only using standard functionality to improve existing<br />
work practices laying a solid system foundation to support<br />
future improvement objectives.<br />
Key goals were to utilize <strong>SAP</strong> to further standardize on the weekly<br />
schedule process and provide a basis for continuous improvement<br />
across the seven coal powered generation stations. To meet<br />
these objectives and ensure user adoption the end product had<br />
to be robust, simple to use and allow planners/schedulers to<br />
work more efficiently.<br />
The completed transactional solution combined standard order/<br />
operation list edit functions with capacity leveling/evaluation to<br />
provide the means to prepare, review and communicate the<br />
schedule. Measurement of schedule efficiency and performance<br />
was measured through development of a custom BW report.<br />
Lessons:<br />
• Standard <strong>SAP</strong> Plant Maintenance & Capacity Leveling functions<br />
can deliver an efficient scheduling process<br />
• The set up of Capacity Leveling/Planning Board functions is<br />
complex but with expert knowledge you can quickly implement<br />
and develop the “right” solution<br />
• A custom snap-shot and reporting tool is required to measure<br />
and report on weekly scheduling performance<br />

bOM Teams — An Equipment Commodity,<br />
Reliability Approach<br />
Presenter: Derek Astrike, Dow Corning<br />
Beginner<br />
Bill of Material (BOM) teams are designed to leverage existing<br />
plant systems to improve efficiency, reliability, and maintainability<br />
of segmented equipment commodities. These representatives<br />
make up the teams: stock coordinator, reliability engineers,<br />
tradesmen, and record administrator. The team’s focus<br />
encompasses a wide breadth of facets related to BOMs. Starting<br />
with ensuring asset nomenclature in <strong>SAP</strong> is standardized and<br />
consistent, to defining current stock descriptions. The inventory<br />
strategy is developed taking into consideration the number of<br />
models, criticality, safety stocks, obsolescence, and consignment<br />
options. Using vendor parts lists as a basis, the BOMs are built<br />
and loaded into <strong>SAP</strong>, allowing them to be viewed and printed on<br />
work orders. This information is then used to develop equipment<br />
strategies for the equipment residing in a building.<br />
Lessons:<br />
• Consistency and standardization of the information provides<br />
efficiency gains<br />
• Sharing this information and developing strategies with the<br />
person responsible for the equipment provides a proactive<br />
approach to managing their equipment<br />
• Tradesmen play a key role in ensuring the data integrity of the<br />
BOMs remain once the project is completed<br />

Leveraging Your Rental Equipment in <strong>SAP</strong><br />
Presenter: Bob Pennington, CITGO Petroleum<br />
Intermediate<br />
Renting equipment for maintenance work orders on a “one off”<br />
basis is not difficult in <strong>SAP</strong>. Leveraging the same piece of rental<br />
equipment across multiple work orders lends to a different challenge.<br />
The cost of rental equipment in a maintenance environment<br />
can be extremely high on a daily basis and can comprise a<br />
large percentage of the overall maintenance budget. These costs<br />
can be somewhat tempered if rentals are leveraged across multiple<br />
work orders, which in turn will promote long term rentals.<br />
The traditional challenge has been how to leverage long term<br />
rentals while being able to track them in a plant and spread the<br />
costs accurately across multiple orders. In this presentation, Bob<br />
Pennington of CITGO Petroleum will enter into a discussion on<br />
how CITGO Petroleum uses <strong>SAP</strong> to manage its rentals.<br />

Standardized Metrics Reporting in <strong>SAP</strong><br />
Presenter: Dick Olver, Agrium<br />
Intermediate<br />
It can be a challenge to get consistent reporting on measures<br />
and KPI’s from <strong>SAP</strong> or any CMMS system. Using those measures<br />
to do benchmarking with other plants and companies when<br />
there are differences in how the metrics are defined compounds<br />
the problem. The Society for Maintenance and Reliability Professionals<br />
(SMRP) has developed a set of common definitions and<br />
metrics that can be used. The next step is getting <strong>EAM</strong> providers<br />
like <strong>SAP</strong> to include the metrics reporting in their systems so<br />
that individual companies avoid the development of custom<br />
reporting. This presentation will report on the metrics development,<br />
harmonization with the European Maintenance Societies<br />
and propose the inclusion of standard reports covering the<br />
metrics into <strong>SAP</strong>.

The Pursuit of the Perfect Plant<br />
Presenter: HaJo Lockermann, <strong>SAP</strong> Labs<br />
Intermediate<br />
Pressures on asset-intensive industries are growing: from tightening<br />
regulations, increasing energy costs, to the aging workforce,<br />
and the threat of ever-changing rules of the game through globalization.<br />
In order to survive, companies have to become more<br />
agile and able to better understand their own business practices.<br />
This provides the ability to change more nimbly.<br />
In this session, learn how <strong>SAP</strong>’s vision of the “perfect plant” leveraging<br />
<strong>SAP</strong> and partner solutions addresses these challenges. The<br />
key concepts are:<br />
• Visibility <strong>–</strong> gaining real-time insight into asset and system<br />
performance with regards to yield, quality, emissions, and<br />
energy consumption<br />
• Simplification <strong>–</strong> supporting the front-line operator or technician<br />
with the right information and eliminating wasteful steps<br />
• Optimization <strong>–</strong> turning insight into action, continually adjusting<br />
your strategies and practices<br />
Lessons:<br />
• "One plus one equals three" - <strong>SAP</strong>'s ecosystem empowers<br />
the business<br />
• <strong>SAP</strong>'s <strong>EAM</strong>, xMII, xVIP, NRX Asset Center, xLPO, xEM and<br />
other components play together to achieve the vision<br />
• Plant doesn't equal plant - the concept applies to<br />
various industries<br />

Configuration Control & Change Management<br />
Presenter: Hemant Rathod, <strong>SAP</strong> Asia<br />
Expert<br />
Starting from Enterprise R/3, the <strong>EAM</strong> solution release has been<br />
enhanced with an important component called configuration<br />
control. The primary goal of configuration control is tracking the<br />
entire lifecycle of technical objects from engineering to operation<br />
and maintenance. From the engineering perspective, configuration<br />
control works well in a situation where there are<br />
multiple technical objects that have a similar structure. Configuration<br />
control also helps planners and technicians to confirm<br />
validity of components and parts.<br />
This session will give you a live demonstration of configuration<br />
management and how it helps in streamlining configuration<br />
change management.<br />
Lessons:<br />
• Why planning the change is important<br />
• What are the tools available in <strong>SAP</strong> <strong>EAM</strong> solution for<br />
managing change<br />
• How configuration management can help in tracking asset lifecycle<br />

WORKSHOP 3<br />
Enhancing the <strong>EAM</strong> Functionality of<br />
<strong>SAP</strong> without Modification<br />
Presenter: Kevin Morrow, <strong>SAP</strong> labs<br />
The standard <strong>SAP</strong> <strong>EAM</strong> functionality suits the majority of companies in its vanilla<br />
form, but there are occasions where people want to do things a little different.<br />
Providing a configurable solution to these infinite combinations of solutions could<br />
potentially make customizing even more complex than people perceive it is today.<br />
To enable implementation of these customer specific functions <strong>SAP</strong> provides a<br />
number of different mechanisms. As underlying technology has changed over<br />
the years so too have the methods of enhancement, each applicable for <strong>EAM</strong>.<br />
This short workshop aims to provide an overview on a live system of the<br />
different technologies used to enhance the functionality of <strong>SAP</strong> in the <strong>EAM</strong><br />
space. Due to time constraints it is not intended as a “how-to” session, but<br />
rather to provide an understanding to the implementation and support team<br />
members of what is available and how to find it, and valuable tips and tricks<br />
on defining requirements, so they can better communicate requirements to<br />
their development counterparts within the projects they are working on.<br />

Joe nichols, Meridium, Mark Strand�uest, Strand�uest, , I�S I�S I�S Inc.,<br />
& Jeff eff Bonnell, nR�� nR�� Global<br />
Your asset data is one of your most critical assets and the “right” asset data<br />
and level of detail is critical to maximizing the performance of your assets.<br />
Safety incidents increase, environmental compliance degrades, productivity<br />
goes down, and equipment downtime increases when complete and<br />
accurate information (data and content) about your assets is not readily<br />
available and visible. This is recognized as a key challenge for organizations<br />
today. In this workshop we will cover the why, what, and how in terms of<br />
getting your data in order. Examples covering a number of capital intensive<br />
industries (e.g. process industries, utilities and manufacturing) will be<br />
provided. Attendees in this workshop will also receive best practices and<br />
templates to take back to apply in their organizations.<br />
Topics covered will include:<br />
• Data problems in design operation and maintenance<br />
• Required data for plant operations, supply chain and reliability programs,<br />
maintenance master data and maintenance planning<br />
• How to tackle the data problem <strong>–</strong> both existing and new plant scenarios<br />
• Asset master data maintenance <strong>–</strong> keeping your data in order<br />
Whether you are dealing with cleaning up your data in existing plants, getting<br />
your data ready for an Enterprise Asset Management implementation or<br />
ensuring you get your data right from “day one” for new plant builds, this<br />
session will benefit you. Join us to learn more about driving performance<br />
with asset information enabled by asset data.
”To live means to experience—through doing, feeling, thinking. Experience takes place<br />

Calibration for Instrumentation,<br />
Metrology and Test Equipment in <strong>SAP</strong><br />
Presenter: Phil Gillespie, new Dimension Solutions<br />
Calibration of process instrumentation and M & TE is a key process —<br />
especially in industries with stringent asset management requirements<br />
such as life sciences, nuclear power, food and beverage and chemical<br />
plants. Historically many companies have continued to use third party<br />
products for calibration. This, however, creates usual headaches in<br />
terms of interfaces, multiple system log-ons and enterprise visibility<br />
issues. This workshop explores the functionality in <strong>SAP</strong> QM and PM<br />
to support this process.<br />
