Course Overview:
A comprehensive and intensive 20-hour training program designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively understand and utilize Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) and Computer-Aided Facility Management (CAFM) systems. The course emphasizes practical, hands-on application—covering everything from fundamental concepts to implementation mechanisms and change management—supported by real-world examples from diverse operational environments to ensure maximum practical benefit and immediate applicability.
Main Course Modules:
Module 1: Introduction to EAM & CAFM Systems
– EAM & CAFM: Definitions, importance, and key differences.
– Strategic context: How these systems support organizational objectives and digital transformation.
– Overview and comparative review of leading software platforms in the market.
Module 2: EAM Applications – Asset Lifecycle Management
– Full asset lifecycle stages (planning, acquisition, operation, maintenance, disposal).
– Maintenance strategies (preventive, predictive, corrective) and their software-based implementation.
– Managing maintenance operations via the system: work orders, scheduling, and resource allocation.
– Spare parts inventory management and integration with maintenance workflows.
– Measuring and evaluating asset performance using system-generated reports.
Module 3: CAFM Applications – Facility and Daily Services Management
– Space and building management: planning, allocation, and tracking space utilization rates.
– Service request system: intake, routing, tracking, and closure mechanisms.
– Management of service contracts and vendors (e.g., cleaning, security, etc.).
– Integration with Building Information Modeling (BIM) to enhance facility management.
– Sustainability standards and energy efficiency monitoring through built-in software tools.
Module 4: Integration and Operational Intelligence
– Integration of EAM and CAFM modules within a unified platform to optimize workflows.
– Development of customized dashboards for real-time operational performance monitoring.
– Data analysis and generation of strategic reports to support informed decision-making.
– Principles of integration between EAM/CAFM systems and other enterprise platforms (e.g., ERP, accounting systems).
Module 5: Planning for Successful Implementation and Change Management
– Practical steps for selecting and implementing the right system (from needs assessment to go-live).
– Project management and mitigation of potential risks during the implementation phase.
– Effective change management strategies to ensure user adoption of the new system.
– Review of real-world case studies and successful implementations, summarizing global best practices.
Program Highlights:
– Practical and Applied: Focuses on using the software in realistic, industry-relevant scenarios.
– Flexible: Content and examples can be tailored to participants’ specific industry sectors.
– Interactive: Features group exercises, discussions, and in-depth case study analyses.
– Career-Oriented: Provides participants with the expertise needed to contribute to system selection, implementation, or optimization projects.
Target Audience:
– Facility, asset, and maintenance managers and officers.
– Operations and maintenance engineers.
– Space planners and building management professionals.
– Process improvement and digital transformation specialists.
– Any professional seeking to leverage technology to enhance operational efficiency.
