Maximo

Its one among best product for EAM

Avantages :

It talks its real life use as product it gives in depth functionality for managing enterprise assets. It has also added lots of industry and domain specific add on and kept the versions upto date with technology. Its in Gartner magic quadrant as leader for over decade now proving its brand and industry recognition.

Inconvénients :

Maximizing has Streep Learning curve

6+ Years. Procurement, Work Order Processing, HSE Module, RCFA, Defect, Scheduler

Commentaires : Maximo allows for quick navigation and isolation of critical plant issues through Work Order hierarchies and linked modules. This CMMS gives the user a quick centralized software for all maintenance and procurement tasks. None of the information or processes are daunting, and it does not require a master computer user in order to handle the flow of the program. Maximo is growing and updates are continuing to come out making this CMMS considerably easier as time progresses be it Bug Fixes and improvements, to new use cases such as Maximo Graphical Scheduler and RCFA modules etc. Prices are low, and upkeep of the software and customer service is high!

Avantages :

I am all for turn key evolutions. Maximo CMMS offers turn key availability for a digital world. The CMMS Software can do anything and everything for a maintenance facility all in one combined platform. The out of the box settings and modules are quick and effective, and easy to navigate. Maximo's ability to link between various modules for documentation purposes is vital in proper communication and trending.

Inconvénients :

User UI interface capabilities and modifications are limited. It takes an act of Congress to get the module layouts changed as they are controlled internally by another entity. This should be a user level ability to customize their interfaces and placements of blocks etc. But that is just being picky.

Maximo is a complex system with many usable functions; however, needs simplifying for end users.

Commentaires : We mostly use the work order tracking. History of assets are the greatest benefits. We would like to move more into enterprise asset management with it tho.

Avantages :

1. The variety of functionality makes it valuable for many different user's needs. 2. It is fairly simple to reconfigure, and hide or create fields.

Inconvénients :

1. Having to buy the functions individually makes it cost prohibitive to roll out new functions for testing and for a smaller groups of users. 2..There is a lot of white space with small font on the interface. Not good use of the space. 3. There is no way to make changes to records in the list view; a user has to enter each record individually, which is time consuming. There should be a way to see all the searched for records and make changes with find and replace similar to Excel in a spreadsheet format. 4. Sorting should also be able to be done with column x, then column y, then column z. I could give more feedback, but haven't the time right now. Sorry.

Overall the best Enterprise Platform, yet still struggles with ease of use for many.

Commentaires : The best enterprise level system, capable of scaling up to ANY demand put upon it.

Avantages :

Scalability and options. As previously stated the options seem almost endless, and for the most part are easily configured, and reconfigured to fit needs of the user. This is taking into consideration the user is database savvy and understands the data sets structure. The common everyday user typically doesn't require this level of use, and slowly IBM is getting a better GUI with the ongoing development of the Work center platform and Maximo-x.

Inconvénients :

Some end users still find the overall system intimidating, and therefore struggle with use. Making the system more user friendly, i.e. WorkCenters, solves part of that issue. The other is the need for an overlay that helps, and/or limits use. A product like Rules Manager enables that capability and has been a lifesaver with MaxAssist, and Rules Manager to keep people in focus of the task at hand.

I've working in the work order maintenance, inventory controls, and administrative roles.

Commentaires : It makes it easy to monitor and react to all operational functions here at work. We have 700 users connected through Maximo. It improves plant and departmental efficiencies across the board.

Avantages :

I like how versatile and (relatively) easy it is to use. It tracks all historical data for trending and analysis. We use most of the applications, which allow cross-training and effective working environments.

Inconvénients :

Some of the customizations and configurations are difficult to implement. We have made several modifications, as the out of the box system needed a lot of work. Sometimes it runs slower than it should, and printing out of Maximo can be painful as well.
