Facilities

Whether responsible for a hotel, hospital, office complex or other facility, the maintenance challenges can be complex. Keeping a facility in peak operating condition lowers utility costs, increases occupant satisfaction, and facility life. Like many industries, facilities management is challenged with an aging infrastructure, dwindling skills, along with environmental, and economic forces. Also like many industries, it is not always clear how to apply best maintenance practices and tools in a way that will maintain the assets so as to provide best business value.

Vesta has experience in the facilities maintenance management space. Using best maintenance practices along with SAP Enterprise Asset Management, Vesta can help create a solution that will enable Facilities companies to successfully navigate these maintenance management shoals.

Maintenance Work Process

To improve business value through Total Enterprise Asset Management, a Facilities company has to focus on maintenance and reliability work processes. Vesta can help these companies review and improve work practices regardless of whether they use SAP as the EAM software. Vesta has worked with Facilities companies on an Enterprise Asset Management strategy and best practices enabling them to improve their bottom line.

SAP Enterprise Asset Management

A Vesta core competency is the implementation and support of SAP for Enterprise Asset Management (EAM). As part of Facilities EAM, Vesta supports the implementation of solutions for the entire asset life-cycle from design through construction, operation, and finally retirement. In particular, Vesta supports implementation of the SAP EAM solution covering all key areas of work request, planning, scheduling, control of work, and cost management, along with real time interaction with HR for labor planning and inventory management.

Companies may look at SAP’s solution that is based on the PM – Plant Maintenance module and assumes that the functionality is not adequate for facility maintenance. Properly configured the maintenance functionality in SAP can provide robust and complete functionality for facilities.

Interface of 3rd Party Solutions

Vesta offers a full slate of technical capabilities to support integration with additional SAP ecosystem products and 3rd party solutions such as:

• Multiresource Scheduling (MRS)
• Syclo
• SCADA

By interfacing with other products and 3rd party solutions Vesta is able to provide Facilities companies with a total asset picture so they can determine the best time to replace or maintain an asset in an efficient and effective manner.
