Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) is a comprehensive approach to managing physical assets throughout their entire lifecycle. EAM empowers businesses to minimize downtime, reduce operational costs, and improve overall asset utilization by effectively tracking and managing assets.
EAM systems are designed to track and manage all aspects of an asset’s lifecycle, from acquisition and installation to ongoing maintenance and eventual replacement. EAM systems typically include work order management, asset tracking, and preventive maintenance.
EAM offers a complete picture of an organization’s resources and assets, enabling knowledgeable decision-making about how to use them most effectively to meet organizational goals. As a result, businesses implementing an EAM system can see significant asset utilization and operational efficiency improvements.
