Workshop Title:
M&E / MRO Systems Adoption Masterclass Workshop

`

Workshop Overview:

The rate of technology innovation and advancements with MRO software outpaces good adoption by business units. It is estimated that:

– Less than 40% of organizations are on the latest releases of their core MRO software systems
– The usage of what is installed and available to end-users is lower than 60%
– Technology enablement of business tasks and processes is just at 50%

Where is your organization on this spectrum? Making optimal use of existing software applications starts with qualitatively and quantitatively analysing business functions usage and adoption against technology capabilities. Defining opportunities from that analysis and setting a strategy for improvements should then follow. Additionally, embedding a culture of continuous improvement and standardizing the (non-technical) handling of software releases to stay current is a common challenge to be addressed. This workshop looks into ways of keeping both business processes and software releases optimal and in sync.

 

Workshop Agenda:


14:00 – 15:00    Theory & Introduction:


  • Do you continuously measure the effectiveness and performance of your business processes?
  • How well are your current M&E / MRO processes enabled with available technology? Are systems used efficiently and to their full potential for the business?
  • Does each role in your the maintenance organization have the right decision support information in a real-time and timely fashion?
  • What is the integrity of the data? Do all stakeholders trust it or do they have their own methods of capture? Is there one source of truth?
  • How well are you keeping up with system releases and emerging industry trends? Are you on the latest versions? Do you stay abreast of advancements in business processes and corresponding software impacts?
