#SAPEAM | www.sapeamconference.com

More then 100 individuals from 45 SAP customer organizations came together in focus groups and face-to-face research across the United States and Canada to discuss the most pressing challenges and opportunities facing the SAP EAM community today. We also leveraged the deep collective insights of dozens of industry thought-leaders and partner experts to understand the innovative, visionary developments that are transforming the maintenance and asset management landscape. These discussions formed the blueprint for the SAP-Centric EAM conference agenda, delivering content by and for the community.

Mark Haarman Managing Partner

Mainnovation

How to Compete with Aging Assets Aging assets, and few resources to modernize them, is the challenge facing maintenance managers today. The competitive value of our aging assets need to be improved and doing the best maintenance is just not good enough. The technical department has to transform into a professional maintenance and asset management organization that combines reliability improvement with life time extension and technical modernization. But how does such an organization work, and more important, how does it work in an economically viable way?

Listen in as Mark Haarman, author of VDMXL, Competing with Aging Assets, explains how maintenance, life time extension and modernization can add maximum economic value to an existing plant, fleet or infrastructure.

Mark is a pioneer in the field of maintenance and asset management. He is a respected speaker at international seminars and founded Mainnovation, a leading consultancy firm specializing in maintenance and asset management.

Plus, don’t miss your chance to dive deep into the content that is most important to you by attending one of our full day workshops most leading experts.

jumpstart session

How does an organization decide what breadth of “assets” go into SAP? How do they decide how deep to go with the data for those assets? This interactive session will discuss how to make this determination, keeping in mind current industry definitions, past practices, issues around current project handover of information and of course your opinion on the subject! Norm Poytner will also cover structuring and documenting the decision, while making it objective and anonymous! Value cases as to why “depth and breadth” is necessary will also be presented.

Norm has worked as a management consultant specializing in SAP plant maintenance and integration for the past 14 years. He has been involved in a variety of projects including implementing system and continuous improvement initiatives, leveraging best practices, supporting plant turnarounds, improving business processes, and developing and implementing process safety and operational excellence programs.

Even as design has transformed our personal lives with companies like Apple, OXO and Netflix leading the way, the workplace has remained a virtual design vacuum. Technology has blurred the lines between work and home, however, employees have come to expect more from their enterprise systems.

For years, leading companies have leveraged design thinking to develop better customer facing products and services. Now, these companies are applying human-centered design methodologies internally to impact the bottom line through improved systems and processes.

This presentation will reveal how small design changes can boost productivity, improve adoption and deliver on the ROI of your enterprise system.

Game On! The Maintenance Business Experience - Creating Maximum Value for Your Organization

Mark Scott Principal Consultant, Vesta Partners, LLC

Mark Haarman Managing Partner, Mainnovation

This workshop is aimed at new and intermediate maintenance users and analysts, with an interest in understanding the purpose and capability of SAP’s maintenance processing objects and their data. This intensive workshop will cover setting up and utilizing these objects and their data to deliver the required outcomes and analysis for your specific business needs. The aim is to provide some ideas, tips and tricks to assist you to gain a better understanding and get the most from this core functionality in its set-up and day-to-day usage.

In an increasingly competitive market, maintenance organizations must improve their business performance, create more value and contribute to overall company results. Fortunately, many maintenance organizations contain a value potential has yet to be unlocked. But where is this treasure hidden and how can it be revealed?

The Maintenance Business Experience is an interactive business game for maintenance and reliability professionals, where maintenance teams compete to develop the most value adding maintenance strategy for a fictional company. Teams are faced with questions like: how many technicians do we need, how many critical spare parts should we have on stock, what is the optimum preventative maintenance for this plant? Each team’s performance is evaluated and the team that creates the highest economic value wins the Most Valuable Maintenance Award.

If you want to find the hidden treasure in your maintenance organization and prefer to learn by doing instead of listening, join us for the Maintenance Business Experience workshop!

Key Learnings:

• How to steer maintenance using Key Performance Indicators

• Benchmarking data and maintenance best practices like RCM, TPM and RBI

• Value Driven Maintenance management methodology and successful case studies
