Stable production processes through reliable maintenance with SAP EAM

Reduce unplanned downtime, cut maintenance costs and achieve end-to-end transparency across assets, work orders, resources and spare parts – with an integrated SAP EAM solution.

The challenge: Rising demands are coming up against limited maintenance capacity

Increasing demands on plant availability are compounded by ageing equipment, rising cost pressures and limited staff resources. At the same time, unplanned breakdowns dominate day-to-day maintenance work. Approvals take too long, spare parts are not available in time, and fragmented IT landscapes make it difficult to keep track of work orders, resources and costs. Paper-based processes, Excel files and isolated systems prevent efficient management of maintenance and increase the risk of unplanned downtime.

Our solution: Stable production through reliable maintenance with SAP EAM

cbs guides companies along a controlled and low-risk path to SAP Enterprise Asset Management (SAP EAM) – regardless of their starting point.

Together, we develop a practical SAP EAM target vision and integrate key elements of maintenance management – such as service requests, work orders, planning, scheduling, mobile execution, spare parts management and cost transparency – into a seamless process.

Our approach includes:

  • Development of an SAP EAM Target Picture
  • Best-practice configuration
  • Data migration using the cbs Enterprise Transformer
  • Role-based user enablement
  • Cutover planning for a controlled roll-out
  • Analysis of processes, system landscape, data quality and pain points

The result is an integrated digital maintenance platform with robust processes and a high degree of transparency.

Strategischer Mehrwert durch Expertenwissen

In addition to technical implementation, cbs supports companies in establishing a future-proof framework and a robust process landscape for efficient maintenance.

This includes, amongst other things:

  • Definition of a standardised maintenance capability matrix
  • A structured introduction based on a four-stage process model
  • Integration of SAP standard processes and SAP best practices
  • Preparation for future enhancements such as SAP BTP and AI-powered features (SAP Joule, Business AI)
  • Secure migration of existing master data using the cbs Enterprise Transformer
