Plant Maintenance
 Plant Maintenance
Plant maintenance is a type of module that provides an integrated solution which supports the
operational needs of an enterprise.
includes all the products that covers
maintenance of plant or equipment in good operating conditions
to avoid production stoppage and loss.
Plant Maintenance module consists of key activities to include
inspection,
corrective and preventive maintenance,
repairs, and other measures to maintain an ideal technical system
All the activities that are performed under maintenance are interconnected and hence this
module is closely integrated with other modules - Production Planning, Material
Management, and Sales and Distribution
perform automatic repairs and facilitate maintenance requests in an
organization.
It allows you to record problems in ERP system, plan labor and material
activities, and to record and settle the cost.
Activities performed under Plant Maintenance

Inspection
Inspection is done to check the actual condition of a technical system.
Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenance is used to maintain high availability of the technical system.
It includes maintenance planning and work scheduling activities for technical
objects.
Repair
Repair involves all measures that can be performed to restore the ideal condition.
Repair process can be performed at many planning stages - like work scheduling,
resource planning and initial costing, etc.
respond immediately w.r.t to a damage events causing production shutdown
create required purchase requisition and processed work orders to reduce the
downtime
Plant Maintenance process
 major subsystems of a plant maintenance

1.Preventive maintenance control :

Preventive maintenance control enables the organization to lower repair cost by avoidance of down
time, machine breakage and process variability. It also provides planning, scheduling and control of
facilities.
2.Equipment tracking :
An equipment is a useful thing which needs to be protected and monitored. It’s cost constitutes the
single largest expenditure of an organization.
3.Component tracking :
Components are the subsets of larger equipment and also deserves the same amount of cost control
expenditure. It enables expenditure managers to identify components with repair problems.
4.Plant maintenance calibration tracking :
It allows organizations to fully use their investments in the plant maintenance module.
5.Plant maintenance warranty claims tracking :
It is an administrative system to provide control of all items covered by manufacturer and vendor
warranties. It includes the ability to establish the type and length of warranty.

 Objectives of Plant Maintenance
• It helps in minimizing the loss of production time due to any equipment failure .
• It helps in quality and product improvement.
• It keeps all the assets in proper working conditions.
Advantages of Plant Maintenance :
• It helps in reduction of breakdown losses.
• It helps in reduction of quality defects.
• It increases net quality profits.
• It reduces maintenance cost.
Disadvantages of Plant Maintenance :
• It increases investments in diagnostics equipment.
• It also increases investment in staff training.
• Saving potential that is not readily seen by the management
Summary – Plant maintenance

Plant Maintenance module in ERP Software supports various options

for structuring technical systems
Data concerning the planning processing and history of maintenance
tasks is documented in the system and complies with business
verification requirements.
All maintenance tasks such as inspection, preventive maintenance
and repair activities are saved in a historical database.
standard indicators, diverse analysis options are available in the
system for evaluating this data.
Summary – Plant maintenance

Plant Maintenance in ERP provides technical and business

reports for organizational unit, location,
helps you to reduce the duration and costs of plant down
times as a result of damage and to recognize possible weak
points within the technical system
It also forms the basis for defining an optimum maintenance
strategy in the sense of ‘Total Productive Maintenance (TPM)
or risk-optimized maintenance.
Quality
Management
 Quality Management
Quality Management –
In every organization, raw material, work in progress
and end products are regularly inspected.
to ensure that nothing goes wrong during the
process of procurement, production or distribution.
Thus, quality management module engages entire
supply chain quality operations.
As a part of logistics application, quality
management module handles the traditional task of
quality planning, inspection and quality control.
The Quality Management module covers all classic
quality management tasks, such as
quality planning
quality inspection, and
quality control.
 Quality Planning
Before a quality inspection is carried out, it is necessary to define prerequisite
information of which product is needed to be inspected.
The inspection of selected product is done based
on some of its characteristic,
which method of inspection/ testing is to be done and is
determined in advance.
Quality inspections are not always a simple measurement of characteristics but may
involve complex calculations, for which requisite algorithm is entered in the system for
automatic calculation of quality score during inspection.
The effect the inspection will have on the product and location where inspection is
done is also entered in the system.
Quality Inspection - Inspection orders may be order specific and can be
created for a
sales,
purchase or
production order.
there may be standard inspection procedure where inspection orders
are triggered both for moving products as well as products held in
storage.
Standard inspection orders are automatically generated for purchase
order, sales order and production order as per a pre defined quality
grouping.
 Quality Control
This functionality helps in determining
sample sizes and adoption of
Statistical Quality Control (SQC)
techniques.
The controlling tools such as quality
control charts, quality scores for
inspection lots, are part of this
process.
helps in generating quality
notifications for external and internal
problems and initiating corrective
action.
The inspection results are also
archived for future analysis through
this process
 Quality Management module in ERP
• Procurement & Subcontract process (for Goods or Services): During the Goods
receipt or on completion of Services, the quality parameters and attributes can be
captured. This serves as the basis for clearance, usage and supplier payment
• Inventory & Storage: During the storage of materials, a periodic quality check can be
done to assess the quality
• Production: During the start of a batch or a new product, or periodically – it would be
required to check and record the Quality at different stages based on which action
pertaining to
• re-work,
• recalibration,
• tool setting, etc would be undertaken
• Sales & Dispatch: Quality inspection can also be carried out before dispatch of goods
• Project Tasks: Quality check could be done for tasks being executed as part of a project
Quality management functioning and integration in ERP
Specific features of Quality module

• Facility for In-process Inspection and Quality Clearance

• Ability to define control points based on control factors like Warehouse,
Supplier, Customer, etc
• Ability to have check list based inspection plan
• Facility to define standard operating procedures
• Ability to capture Analysis methods for attributes
• Ability to specify attribute values for each inspection plan
• Ability to override sample result status
• Ability to suggest lot change / item change based on Quality Clearance
