The manufacturing industry is asset-intensive. Whether a discrete or process manufacturer within various industries, such as high tech, automotive, aerospace, consumer packaging, it takes a wide array of assets to keep your business performing efficiently.
This paper looks at the main challenges of managing enormous amounts of asset-related information within the manufacturing industry and the strain on engineers, plant managers, and maintenance workers they produce. It describes the benefits your organization can realize when you extend your enterprise asset management (EAM) system such as SAP® Plant Maintenance with an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solution.
What separates an ECM-based solution from the typical point solution, is the ability to manage asset-related, structured and unstructured content in any format—including digital media, images, emails, supply chain documentation and ERP-generated business content—and make it easily accessible from a single point of truth.
