ERP developer Lawson, which acquired Intentia last year, has released its QuickStep EAM (enterprise asset management) system, claiming it cuts traditional implementation times and costs by up to 50%.
The secret is that the company pre-configures 70—90% of the key processes required by manufacturers heavily dependent on critical plant assets. Users can also access comprehensive functionality and Lawson’s industry knowledge to tune maintenance management.
Also, the system can be extended to include integrated support for techniques such as RCM (reliability centred maintenance). That helps manufacturers evaluate the cost of asset failure versus the cost of prevention to develop the most economically viable maintenance strategy for individual assets.
Houghton LeRoy of independent analyst ARC Advisory Group, says: “Many business improvements and cost benefits are possible by properly implementing EAM for asset intensive operations. Quickstep should help companies quickly implement proven best practices and realise a return on investment much faster.”
