16-page implementation guide
Overview
EAM implementations rarely fail on software. They fail on asset hierarchy decisions made in week two and on technicians who were never given a reason to close a work order properly. This paper covers both.
The challenge
Buying the platform is the straightforward part. The hard parts are the state of the existing asset register, the hierarchy depth chosen before anyone understands how reporting will be used, and a maintenance workforce being asked to change how it records work mid-campaign.
The solution
Drawing on deployments across steel, cement and mining, the paper works week by week through data readiness assessment, hierarchy and criticality decisions, PM migration, mobile rollout sequencing and the change management that determines whether the register stays accurate after go-live.
Results
Documented outcomes include operational efficiency gains of up to 30%, alarm-to-work-order automation that prevented 66 failures in one year, and certification compliance moved fully into the system across a 116-person shop.
