Course Introduction
Many organizations struggle to extract full value from their SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) module when implementing reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) strategies. Without effective integration, critical failure data, asset health insights, and maintenance history often go underutilized—limiting the effectiveness of preventive and predictive maintenance efforts.
This focused 1-day live online training teaches maintenance and reliability professionals how to align RCM principles with SAP capabilities. Participants will learn how to structure master data, work orders, and performance reports in SAP to support cost-effective, reliability-focused asset management.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
• Understand how SAP PM supports RCM workflows and asset strategies
• Configure and maintain functional locations, equipment hierarchies, and task lists for reliability tracking
• Use notifications, work orders, and measurement documents to drive condition-based maintenance
• Link failure data and analysis to maintenance planning and decision-making
• Generate reports to track maintenance effectiveness and asset health trends
Key Benefits of Attending
• Learn how to leverage SAP as a strategic tool—not just a transactional system
• Enhance equipment reliability through better data management and utilization
• Eliminate inefficiencies and reactive maintenance practices
• Ensure alignment between reliability engineering goals and SAP configurations
• Improve maintenance planning, execution, and performance tracking in one platform
