Value Map Assessment
See Where You Stand to Know How to Move Forward
Getting your EAM initiative rolling takes a ton of planning. But how do you determine what goals to set, timelines to aim for, or even standards to measure against? You’re talking about establishing best practices.
That’s where our Value Map Assessment (VMA) comes in. A VMA measures your EAM operation against proven industry best practices. It not only paints a clear picture of what you’ve done, it reveals areas where you can create tangible results and sets standards for achieving them.
What exactly does VMA do?
- Scores your operation against industry-accepted standards
- Compares assessment scores across multiple site locations
- Generates a detailed roadmap to better asset management
- Plans, prioritizes and measures your improvement efforts
- Estimates the scope of work and expected return on investment
- Continuously self assesses to continuously improve
What do you get out of it?
- Access to 439 key measurements across 25 operational segments
- Immediate scored results
- A 360 view of your EAM operation at a glance
- Unlimited Assessments with ability to Analyze multiple locations
- Reports you can download to Excel

- Strategic Enterprise Asset Management Plans
- Asset Initialization | Coding Standards
- Work Identification & Control | Planning | Scheduling | Completion
- Preventive Maintenance & Predictive Maintenance
- Shutdown Coordination
- Reliability Engineering & Failure Analysis
- MRO Materials Management | Storeroom Operations | Inventory Optimization
- Work & MRO Supply Chain Coordination
- Accounting Coordination
What do you get out of it?
- Establishing best practices based on industry standards
(ISO 55001 & PAS 55) - Optimizing ROI for physical assets and software
(i.e. EAM, CMMS, ERP, etc) - Improving risk management, HSE performance, and corporate governance
- Boosting the bottom line by increasing productivity while reducing costs

Quality Data Manager
Keep Your Data Clean
Develop clean, standardized, and structured MRO materials data with our web-based Quality Data Manager (QDM). QDM collects and normalizes your MRO data making it easier to identify indirect materials, such as pipes, valves, seals, bearings, etc., and create your own high-performance MRO material master.
QDM also houses the Noun-Modifier-Attribute (NMA) Dictionary. This cataloging methodology is the international standard for describing industrial MRO parts and supplies, and it’s completely customizable.
What exactly does QDM do?
- Collects MRO data
- Manages catalog setup requests
- Normalizes item records before they’re entered into the EAM system
- Solves data issues caused by unstructured “free-form” text
What do you get out of it?
- Enterprise master data standards
- Ability to identify duplicate inventory
- Avoidance of false stock-outs
- Simplified inventory searches
