Geospatial Analytics® quickly and easily deployed the mobile inspection form, without the need for significant training or support.

Benefits

Solution

Equipment Inventory

The team deemed that aggregating data obtained from inspections was critical to the success of the effort. Management needed the ability to easily obtain information on specific pieces of equipment but also create portfolio views.

The information obtained was also needed to update the bank’s computerized maintenance management system (CMMS).

Geospatial Analytics® helped the company implement a web-based portal — integrated with the CMMS — where inspection results were automatically stored.

Benefits

  • Provided a complete equipment inventory including related conditions.
  • Allowed management to have an accurate view of all equipment for improved planning and management of related Facility Management efforts.
  • The ability to have an accurate equipment list loaded within the CMMS made it possible to improve accuracy of financial forecast for Preventative and Corrective Maintenance activities by over 15%.

Solution for Portfolio Management Program

Asset Management Program

Geospatial Analytics® supplied a robust set of capabilities for an enterprise-level asset management program, including analytics and scenario modeling.

Use of various levels of uniformat codes and a facility condition index in the tool created a fact–based, objective decision support environment.

The asset management program could consistently and objectively track assets’ original value, condition, and life expectancy to properly manage risk and create accurate financial forecasts.

Benefits

  • The client was able to formalize the program and establish a five-year capital plan and associated budgets and required actions.
  • Decisions regarding proactive replacement of end of the life equipment could now be performed with view to the entire portfolio and the related condition, improving the decision making and prioritization which decreased overall risks.
  • Having a reliable asset management program allowed the client to accurately forecast future actions, thus allowing them to aggregate their sourcing for purchases of replacement equipment as well as related services, conservatively saving over $5M annually.

The end goal in portfolio and process management is optimization. Capital-intensive assets are distributed to best meet demand, and the organizations responsible for long-range planning and utilization are fully in control.

Outdated business processes are strangling organizational goals of increased productivity and flexibility. Employees struggle to achieve basic awareness of assets, working through disconnected database and functional silos.

A strong process and information foundation creates a platform from which higher value goals can be pursued. Increased operational awareness, better decision-making and shared information lead to a sense of gaining control.
