Preventive Maintenance with Visual Planner for SAP

Optimizing your ROI with an efficient multi-week scheduling process

 

Visual Planner is an innovative solution that allows SAP Plant Maintenance users to implement a solid Work Week Management Process to prevent equipment failure, rigorously monitor compliance per week on the work done and maximize labor productivity. Visual Planner for SAP is ideal for companies in the industrial sector with a large equipment asset portfolio and a high number of specialized resources to manage.

Designed from the ground up to support the multi-week scheduling process, Visual Planner provides controls on schedules spanning several weeks that neither project scheduling software, nor scheduling spreadsheets can achieve, since they have never been designed to manage the multi-week scheduling process. Visual Planner consists of four modules that offer a unique graphical calendar approach, specifically designed to support the work week management process, with a multi-week rolling schedule, ensuring routine maintenance work is always performed on time.

Business benefits

  • Improve visibility into work programs and resources availability
  • Enhance resource workloads by planning on short or long-term periods
  • Optimize maintenance schedules for minimum production downtime
  • Increase asset lifetime thanks to preventive maintenance
  • Maximize return on assets through asset performance reports and analytics

State-of-the-art technical architecture

Visual Planner’s architecture provides a single point of truth by ensuring that the host system’s data is accessed and updated directly and instantly using the host’s standard architecture. It ensures the utmost data security versus interfaced systems, which often have latency and cause data integrity issues. This approach also ensures the lowest cost of ownership, as there are no external systems to install and manage. This means your IT team will already be familiar with Visual Planner’s technology, without requiring additional training on an external system.
