The post Solving Asset Management Challenges for a Leading US-based Digital Transformation Firm with mAsset appeared first on Maventic.

A single-site gas processing facility operating over 12,000 equipment units with 35 maintenance plans across critical operations. The site handles high-throughput industrial processes with stringent safety and compliance mandates.

Business Scenario

Prior to SAP PM, the plant faced unplanned downtimes, operational inefficiencies, and high maintenance overhead due to manual systems tracked through spreadsheets and disconnected platforms.

Challenges

Operating with manual maintenance tracking, the plant struggled with data silos, reactive maintenance practices, and limited visibility that caused production disruptions and compliance risks.

• Data Silos Across Operations – Equipment records, planning schedules, and maintenance history scattered across spreadsheets made unified asset visibility impossible.
• High Frequency of Reactive Maintenance – Lack of preventive scheduling led to unplanned breakdowns, emergency repairs, and costly production disruptions.
• Cumbersome Work Order Management – Manual work order creation resulted in delayed responses, unclear assignments, and difficult completion tracking.
• Spare Parts Stockouts – No linkage between maintenance and inventory caused frequent parts shortages, extending repair times and equipment downtime.

The post SAP Plant Maintenance Implementation for a Critical Gas Processing Plant appeared first on Maventic.

A mid-sized pharmaceutical manufacturer operating four large plants with over 6,000 critical equipment assets. The company manages 120+ technicians and 15 supervisors who generate 400 weekly work orders (70:30 preventive to corrective), maintaining stringent regulatory compliance standards.

Business Scenario

Twenty-four months after implementing SAP EAM, the manufacturer launched a process improvement initiative to optimize system usage, eliminate manual workarounds, and increase maintenance efficiency.

Challenges

Despite having SAP EAM implemented, legacy practices persisted, causing inefficiencies, compliance gaps, and limited visibility into maintenance operations.

• Reactive Maintenance Dominance – High corrective maintenance effort with no Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for critical breakdowns and poor defect classifications preventing proactive problem-solving.
• Disconnected Spare Parts Management – Parts not reserved against work orders caused frequent stockouts during repairs and overstock situations that increased inventory costs.
• Manual Compliance Processes – Customer-specific validations performed outside the system created audit risks and compliance gaps in the regulated pharmaceutical environment.
• Delayed Work Order Closure – Untimely work order closures limited management visibility into actual maintenance costs, asset performance, and resource utilization.

Solution

Maventic executed a two-phase process improvement program to streamline workflows, enforce system-based operations, and enhance visibility across all four plants.

• Phase 1: Process Configuration
  • Defect Management Enhancement – Implemented notification workflows capturing actual field defects and Why-Why analysis for structured Root Cause Analysis.
