COURSE OVERVIEW:

The effectiveness of any Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) is entirely dependent on the quality and structure of its foundational data. This course focuses on the critical task of building a robust data architecture, specifically focusing on equipment hierarchies, functional locations, and Bills of Materials (BOMs). It addresses the "garbage in, garbage out" challenge by providing participants with standardized naming conventions and logical structuring techniques that enable accurate reporting and efficient work management.

The scope of this training involves the detailed design of an asset registry that reflects both the geographical and operational reality of the plant. Participants will learn how to distinguish between a "Functional Location" (where a task is performed) and an "Equipment" record (the specific asset performing the task). The course delves into the creation of comprehensive Bills of Materials, ensuring that maintenance teams have immediate access to correct spare parts information, which is essential for reducing downtime and streamlining the procurement process.

Coverage includes international standards such as ISO 14224 for data collection and exchange, as well as best practices for data cleansing and migration. By mastering CMMS master data management, participants will be able to improve the accuracy of reliability analytics, simplify the planning process, and provide management with the high quality data needed for strategic decision making. This course is the essential building block for any organization looking to maximize their investment in maintenance software.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Design a logical and scalable equipment hierarchy within a CMMS.
• Differentiate between Functional Locations and Equipment Objects correctly.
• Apply ISO 14224 standards to asset naming and data classification.
• Construct multi level Bills of Materials (BOMs) for critical assets.
• Implement standardized taxonomies for asset classes and types.
• Cleanse and validate legacy maintenance data for system migration.
• Establish data governance policies to maintain data integrity over time.
• Map technical attributes and specifications to individual asset records.
• Link documents, drawings, and manuals to the correct hierarchy level.
• Utilize the hierarchy for advanced cost tracking and reliability reporting.
• Streamline the spare parts identification process for maintenance planners.
• Conduct a master data audit to identify gaps and inconsistencies.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is vital for CMMS Administrators, Maintenance Planners, Reliability Engineers, Data Analysts, Materials Managers, and Maintenance Supervisors who are responsible for asset registry management.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
