Discover how a computerized maintenance management system (CMS) streamlines asset and inventory tracking, preventive and corrective maintenance, and work-order planning to improve reliability and efficiency.

Explore IBM Maximo, a cmms for maintenance tasks like test, inspection, issue, materials transfer, and modification, and generate work orders, prs, requisitions, and reports.

Identify IBM Maximo requirements across asset, procurement, materials, contract, and customer service management, and explore data input and output, integration framework, and API connector.

Discover what is new in IBM Maximo asset management version seven, including asset and location planning, work management, and multi-location work orders with enhanced security.

Open the plan screen in Maximo, create a job plan, enter the number and description, add tasks with ordered numbers, assign labels and materials, save, and set status to active.

Edit and modify Maximo 7.6 job plans from the Start Center, revise descriptions and duration, and save changes, then search plans and set status to active while managing revisions.

Configure dynamic job plans by enabling the dynamic balance system property, granting edit rights, and refreshing the system to enable creation in the work orders and job plans application.

Enable dynamic Joplin in system properties and configure rules to apply scaled labor, material, service, and tools at the work order header based on work units, replacing static work plans.

Master proportional calculation for roofing cost estimation using dynamic simulation in Maximo. Scale labor, materials, and costs from 100 ft² to larger work units and see automatic costs update.

Learn to base preventive maintenance on meter readings, using running hours or kilometers, by creating meter groups, assigning meters to assets, and applying meter-based frequency.

Learn to open maximo modules by appending a path after login, switch modules like work order tracking, pm, location, label, or purchasing order by changing the path, and log off.

Create and manage key performance indicator views in Maximo by using the KPI manager, configure SQL queries, and integrate the KPI graph with the result set for efficient work tracking.

Configure the IBM Maximo start center by creating a query and result set, editing the display to show status, and selecting a bar or pie chart to display by default.

Develops the first FMEA model for the Power Pi project to identify potential failures, assess risk using severity, occurrence, and detection, and guide predictive maintenance.

Create a seven-day planning process dashboard in Power BI to manage preventive and planned maintenance, safety-critical orders, and scaffolding across offshore platforms. Track manpower and logistics with platform-specific dashboards.

Improve planning and scheduling for a Power BI dashboard by outlining work order time - transportation, safety meetings, tools preparation, isolation, and task duration - to support a seven-day plan and manpower calculation.

Design a Power BI dashboard to visualize asset availability and reliability in IBM Maximo. Use simple equations such as uptime over uptime plus downtime and operation time over failures.

Use a Power BI dashboard to improve inventory purchasing by tracking current balance, requested date, requested quantity, last cost, and related purchasing requests and orders, ensuring six months of coverage.

Build a Power BI dashboard to improve cost reporting for maintenance, aggregating work order costs, predictive maintenance, corrective and preventive maintenance, and asset reliability to forecast yearly and next-year costs.
