White Paper:
Using ERP to Manage Maintenance Contractors
Rights izing,
budget cuts, tough times can all lead to reduced
staffing in manufacturing and utilities maintenance
departments. Find out how enterprise asset
management (EAM) and enterprise resources planning (ERP)
can be used to cost justify the use of outside
maintenance contractors and manage them effectively
once they are on site. Read the 'Using ERP to Manage
Maintenance Contractors' white paper to learn more.
Cut
Expenses & Increase Profits with Service Management Software
In this month's interview
segment of the IFS Radio Network podcast, Baker Tilly Consultant Ben Hans on
discusses how manufacturers can benefit from implementing equipment
service
management functionality that is part and parcel of an overall
enterprise solution. According to Hanson, there is a significant value
difference between stand alone CMMS or maintenance management
tools and service management that is embedded in ERP. Hanson shares his
thoughts along with practical examples and actionable advice for
implementing service management in ERP.

"To
be honest, companies can and do use service
management tools that are not part of an ERP
package. Some might even be able to sneak by
using Excel. But when
the service management tool is incorporated
into a broader ERP system, as the service
management tool is for IFS Applications,
then a number of benefits can be realized
that will have the potential to evolve the
maintenance department from a reactive state
to more of a planned state."
