Enterprise Asset Management

Optimise your operations with SAP.

You run a critical asset: it might be a power station or an electricity distribution network. You inspect regularly but still parts fail, service is interrupted, and your total costs are higher than you want them to be. Higher than your shareholders want them to be.

Best practice asset management implemented by Logica in SAP can improve all this and help you optimise your operational costs while improving availability. So you:

• do more preventative maintenance and less corrective maintenance
• apply learning from one part of your system quickly everywhere
• prioritise emerging work based on enriched asset intelligence
• give your team the information they need to do their jobs all in one place, eliminating the need to waste time and effort searching for information across multiple systems.

Enterprise Asset Management Framework
Logica’s Enterprise Asset Management Framework and implementation services let you change your asset management strategy to be world class and compliant with standards like PAS55. We can also help you make the most of your SAP investment by unlocking Environmental Health and Safety and Document Management capabilities. Your existing SAP system probably doesn’t do that - and you probably don’t believe it can.

Using our Framework, we configure standard SAP Plant Maintenance and Materials Management modules to deliver the asset management strategy you want, without compromising. We’ve proven this in electricity distribution networks, renewable power generators and more traditional generation plants such as CCGT (combined cycle gas turbine).

Our team of SAP experts talk your language and understand asset management. Get them on board and you’ll be able to start doing work from day one of the project. Your team won’t waste time training them in maintenance. Our implementation specialists bring the Framework with them and use it at every stage of the project to speed up delivery and reduce the risk of failure.

Envisage how your system will look: built by our experts on our own servers, our SAP demonstrator systems show how you can use the latest features of SAP to manage your assets and your work the way you want to. We have set up multiple asset intensive scenarios including renewable and traditional generation plants, water and electricity distribution sytems, so you get a firsthand look at how the asset hierarchy might look, and how it will all tie together.

Faster startup and more accurate costing: our project managers speed up costing and startup stages by using template plans associated with our framework to develop their schedules. These are derived from actual plans that we have used successfully on other projects, so we know they work. On a greenfield site, SAP EAM implementation needn’t take a long time: in 2011 we deployed at EDF Energy West Burton CCGT site in six months.

Higher quality configuration and the right category codes: getting SAP to work right always comes down to the configuration. We’ve captured the critical settings from previous projects in a structured set of documents so that when it comes to your project, we can redo them and tweak them to suit your requirements. This reduces risk and implementation time. We also maintain the industry standard classification codes for the utilities industry so that you don’t have to spend time devising new values on every new project. Moreover, you monitor performance against KPIs that your peers use too.

Lower cost, better quality testing: our framework includes test scripts that we can run unchanged on your implementation or modify as necessary. Either way, we spend much less time writing scripts and more time testing your system with these ready to go at the start of the project.

Right work at the right time: our solution integrates SAP with a holistic asset performance management application to automate your analysis of KPIs and allow you to share learning in one part of your system everywhere. The application does this by monitoring your asset hierarchy from SAP and real-time data from your telemetry system and highlighting problems long before failure. Combined with your risk register for example, this lets you analyse root causes and decide whether to do planned maintenance before failure or run to failure all assets of that class.
