Asset Manager - A New FoCul Product
FoCul is launching a new product known as "Asset Manager" as part of the Delivery Toolkit suite of applications. Lucite International on Teesside will be the lead customer for this new system which will be introduced in H1 of 2010.
The Asset Manager application allows organisations to manage the knowledge and processes required to maintain and operate Chemical plants. The application is compliments typical CMMS systems such as SAP and Maximo by providing a much richer tool for teams to collaborate within.
The first release will be a Lotus Notes based application but subsequent releases will also include a web delivered option. The application can be delivered as an on premises solution or as a SAAS ( Software as a Service ) offering.
The functionality within the system will include :
Criticality assessment
Asset life planning
Maintenance policy development
Asset spend mapping
Failure Investigation and reporting
Management of protective systems ( trips, alarms etc.. )
Management of technical documentation
Action management
Benefits of the system include :
Significantly improved retention of corporate knowledge
Significantly improved access to key information for the whole asset management team
Improved allocation of resources through increased transparency and prioritisation of asset management activity
Enhanced processes for asset improvement activities
Improved control of action management within the asset management teams
The application also compliments other FoCul products such as :
Document Manager - a system to efficiently manage controlled documents such as procedures and operating instructions
Skills and Roles Manager - a system to efficiently manage skills records, roles and the gap between the skills held and the skills required.
Activities Manager - a system to consolidate actions and activities across a range of sources into one central activities management application
