What is EAM

Oracle Enterprise Asset Management (eAM) is part of Oracle's 11i E-Business Suite and
addresses the comprehensive and routine asset maintenance requirements of asset intensive
organizations. Using eAM, organizations can efficiently maintain both assets, such as vehicles,
cranes and HVAC systems, as well as rotable inventory items, such as motors and engines. To
measure performance and optimize maintenance operations, all maintenance costs and work
history are tracked at the asset level.

EAM Overview
Oracle Enterprise Asset Management (eAM) provides organizations with the tools to create and
implement maintenance procedures for both assets and rebuildable inventory items.
Maintenance procedures are an integral part of an organization's complete asset lifecycle
management strategy,enabling an organization to optimize asset utilization. eAM enables users
to optimally plan and schedule maintenance activities with minimal disruption to an
organization's operations or production. Importantly, it improves resource efficiency, enhances
maintenance quality, tracks work history, and records all maintenance costs.
Oracle eAM tracks the performance of assets (including rebuildable, inventory items) using
meters, quality plans, and condition monitoring systems. By effectively monitoring an asset's
operating condition, effective preventive maintenance strategies can be implemented. In
addition to creating preventive maintenance schedules, users can create alternative
maintenance strategies for seasonal or production capacity changes.
eAM's comprehensive maintenance functionality supports asset lifecycle strategies for asset
intensive industries, including Metals/Mining, Manufacturing, Pulp/Paper, Petrochemicals,
Facilities, and Education. eAM eliminates the need for spreadsheets and disparate data
repositories, by enabling companies to manage reactive, planned, preventive maintenance, and
adopt a centralized, proactive strategy for managing asset maintenance across an enterprise.

eAM enables an organization to do the following:
Create a preventive maintenance strategy
Maximize resource availability, including both equipment and labor
Optimize scheduling and resource efficiency
Integrate with Oracle's E-Business Suite for enterprise-wide solutions
