Explore Oracle EAM introduction: a module of Oracle e-business r12 that drives maintenance best practices, manages the full asset life cycle, and integrates with inventory, purchasing, and financials.
Begin phase one of enterprise asset management by detailing setup steps aligned with business cases, covering definitions, parameters, accounting class, categories, lookups, and asset data definitions.
Explore eAM WIP parameters in Oracle Enterprise Asset Management, covering material tab defaults, supply sub inventory and locator choices, backflush load selection, expiration/receipt date options, and lot verification.
Learn how eAM wip accounting classes group costs for work orders, link evaluation and variance accounts, and apply standard or average costing methods to material, overhead, and outside processing.
Track asset failures from report to resolution with failure statistics and work orders; define failure codes and sets to guide root-cause analysis and corrective actions.
Configure eAM parameters in Oracle enterprise asset management, defining web accounting classes, cost elements, and maintenance defaults for assets, work requests, and workflow driven approvals.
Set up areas in eAM to logically sort assets by zones, associate areas with assets, and manage effective dates by creating new areas with a name, description, and optional expiration.
Define resources in Oracle eAM to allocate time and cost for operations. Set up unit of measure and conversion rates, resource types, charge and expenditure attributes, and skills for resources.
Define departments as crews within the organization, assign routing operations, allocate resources and capacity, and track costs and overhead to balance load in Oracle eAM.
Set up department approvals in Oracle workflow to route work requests to approvers, who update status on the self-service maintenance homepage and log details, moving requests to waiting work orders.
Define miscellaneous documents and attach them to maintenance work orders, assets, or operations in eAM, using data types such as file, long text, short text, or web page.
define and categorize eAM lookups as extensible, user defined, or system defined, then set up activity types, causes, and sources with coding rules and alpha code cautions.
Explore Oracle eAM fundamental lookups, including asset activity variety codes, asset failure source types, cost categories, failure and resolution codes, and work order and work request types and priorities.
Explore eAM lookup 3: define asset activity variety codes, failure source types and work orders, and manage cost categories, failure and resolution code sets, work requests, and preventive maintenance types.
Learn to configure eAM asset setup by defining category codes and category sets, link them to asset groups, and enable precise asset classification and search for cranes and other assets.
Define and manage asset groups in eAM by using templates to apply attributes, enable inventory, and configure serial number generation with prefixes and starting numbers; access and maintain failure sets.
Define and manage enterprise asset management activities as standardized maintenance templates linked to assets or rebuild doubles, automatically populating work orders with relevant materials and resources.
Define asset numbers in Oracle eAM using three entry methods, with automatic generation and global uniqueness. Prerequisite asset group setup and asset hierarchy management ensure proper association and lifecycle controls.
Learn to manage eAM asset routes by defining asset rules, setting preventive maintenance, and assigning asset groups and numbers to prevent duplicate work orders.
Learn to set up an asset bill of materials by selecting items, defining inventory components, and configuring sequences and locations for material allocation on work orders.
Explore enterprise asset management processes, including work requests, work orders, maintenance planning, scheduling, cost estimation, and direct item procurement, mapping the end-to-end flow from request to asset performance.
Explore the eAM work request process, from creation and approval to awaiting work order and completion, including asset details, attachments, and status transitions.
Create and manage eAM work orders, including standard, preventive, rebuildable, express, and child orders. Attach activities to manual orders and auto-attach material and resource requirements; preventive maintenance reduces asset failure.
Explore how Oracle eAM handles routine work orders, created by planners from the maintenance workbench or menu, with asset numbers and material and resource planning at each status.
Master eAM work order transactions, including material and resource issuance, operation and work order completion, and returns, with release status checks and cross-department resource assignment.
Learn how to complete and close work orders in eAM, using the maintenance workbench, apply electronic signatures, enter duration and meter readings, and run enclosure and reporting steps.
Define activities and express work order templates for routine or preventive maintenance, associate them with assets, maintenance BOMs, and routings, so materials and resources copy to new work orders.
Explore how Oracle eAM uses meter-based and calendar-based preventive maintenance to auto-create oil-change work orders, define set names, schedule definitions, and forecast work orders via the PM scheduler.
This course covers the following topics:

Overview of Oracle Enterprise Asset Management
Oracle Enterprise Asset Management (eAM) is a part of Oracle's E-Business Suite, providing organizations with the tools to create and implement maintenance procedures for both assets and rebuildable inventory items. Maintenance procedures are an integral part of an organization's complete asset lifecycle management strategy, enabling an organization to optimize asset utilization. eAM enables users to optimally plan and schedule maintenance activities with minimal disruption to an organization's operations or production. Importantly, it improves resource efficiency, enhances maintenance quality, tracks work history, and records all maintenance costs.
Oracle eAM tracks the performance of assets (including rebuildable, inventory items) using meters, quality plans, and condition monitoring systems. By effectively monitoring an asset's operating condition, effective preventive maintenance strategies can be implemented. In addition to creating preventive maintenance schedules, users can create alternative maintenance strategies for seasonal or production capacity changes.
eAM's comprehensive maintenance functionality supports asset lifecycle strategies for asset intensive industries, including Metals/Mining, Manufacturing, Pulp/Paper, Petrochemicals, Facilities, and Education. eAM eliminates the need for spreadsheets and disparate data repositories, by enabling companies to manage reactive, planned, preventive maintenance, and adopt a centralized, proactive strategy for managing asset maintenance across an enterprise.
