ERP Asset Management



ERP asset management modules handle tracking functions across production, including maintenance schedules, uptime and downtime, compliance and warranty management. Learn the features of asset management in the ERP asset management module.
ERP with Asset Management Module goes hand in hand with inventory management, but the difference is that inventory management is about the physical goods that are in the warehouse. Asset management is about the equipment.
Some vendors offer asset management software as a separate application; others make it part of a suite of applications. Some smaller vendors offer standalone applications for capabilities such as assets, inventory and warehouse management. For the purposes of this guide, the term refers to ERP asset management modules that tie into the backbone of an ERP system.
Key functions include tracking for:
·         Maintenance schedules
·         Equipment uptime and downtime
·         Inventory and warranty management
·         Compliance with hazardous materials and waste tracking regulations
By integrating asset management modules with ERP systems, companies can increase the availability of their production equipment and reduce overall plant costs through better service and maintenance programs. Asset management software can also help a company improve its cash flow by increasing inventory turnover and optimizing manufacturing production.
You need to know if your machinery and equipment are in good working order and if those machines are running at maximum capacity with an uptime of 99.9 percent, If you're collecting revenue throughout the transaction, you need to actively make sure that you fix those machines or keep them in good working order in terms of repair and warranties. It's really critical, especially if you're in the world of production or delivery.
ERP asset management can help a company improve its cash flow in other ways. For example, if a company has ten pieces of machinery and can determine how to use eight more effectively, you've just saved whatever the cost of capital is for two pieces of heavy equipment.
If you can find ways to create more efficient processes in your plants, then you don't have to worry about too much redundancy with maintenance schedules, minimizing downtime and optimizing production schedules. That's where asset management delivers."

How can a company realize a larger return on investment and business benefits from their investments in their ERP software? This is a topic that most companies enjoy discussing about. Here are three key points: 1. Understand and leverage the functionality you already have.  Many ERP vendors offer a wide array of core functionality, advanced modules, and third-party applications to address the needs of their customer base. So much so, in fact, that many customers don’t fully understand the full breadth of what is right in front of them.  One key lesson for companies is that many broken business processes or perceived weaknesses in the system are often easily addressed by better leveraging functionality that already exists but isn’t necessarily being used by the organization.
