Integrating Work Management
|
Too Many Work Order Systems Spoil the Broth
Abstract:
Applications in the area of Customer Information Systems (CIS), Enterprise Asset Management (EAM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and other work planning applications have developed the ability to create work orders. The introduction of stand-alone applications creating and manipulating work orders filled a vacuum. The issue is the efficiency of developing the right work order and managing the enterprise schedule is lost without integration. While these applications locally improve a department's ability to execute, they do not lend to corporate wide efficiencies. Prioritization, resource allocation, and scheduling conflicts result when work orders created in individual applications attempt to reserve resources and schedule completion dates that overlap with other individual applications. Figure 1 depicts the complexity of the issue.
