S1P1 (00:00-00:19:00)Welcome to an introduction of ATLiS, the Active Technical Library System, now available from Turnpoint Solutions. ATLiS is a business improvement service that resolves several entrenched dilemmas suffered by most companies using technical information in the operation and maintenance of complex, high-value plant and equipment.
(00:19 – 01:35)S2Box1ATLiS will interest management responsible for maintenance or supply chain functions, or management responsible for information systems supporting these functional areas. It is targeted towards operations utilising high-value plant and equipment – for example resource, energy or large-scale transportation companies.S2Box2The service creates value by improving the quality and accessibility of information on which maintenance and spares procurement functions depend. Technical content is mission critical information for firms utilising complex capital assets, managing it is rarely done optimally with the result that: Inventories are often inflated with inaccurately identified, obsolete or duplicated spares. Maintenance staff routinely spend valuable time researching technical content that should be at their fingertips ready for instant use. Valuable site staff are tied up maintaining content that could and should come from your equipment suppliers and be automatically linked into your ERP/EAM system.S2Box2The ATLiS service package offers a low cost/low risk entry point, a highly scalable set of services and a range of options to allow you to focus on as much or as little of your operation as you feel appropriate. Positive return on investment is usually available very early stages and enduring long term value is created through a measured continuous improvement program.

S4 (03:02 – 04:56)Forward-looking management is already preparing for the recovery. Firms with better strategies for costs efficiency and effectiveness, firms that relentlessly pursue lower operating costs are likely to enjoy better medium term outcomes than those that failed to use the opportunities now available to us.Turnpoint believes this is an ideal time to look for ways of cutting cost and improving efficiency. A low cost/low risk opportunity is to start improving the quality of core data in your ERP/EAM system and better manage your technical content. Technical content here covers everything from parts books, maintenance manuals, technical bulletins that are typically obtained from equipment suppliers through to master data in the ERP/EAM system that is typically extracted directly and manually from this content. Maintenance and supply chain departments are reliant on this information to support equipment throughout its lifecycle.The task of managing this technical content is not an option – it is an unavoidable part of commissioning, operating and maintaining the complex, high-value equipment systems central to your business. Also technical content is highly dynamic – suppliers update designs, procedures and spare parts and installed configurations change as components are replaced or modified.Technical content informs how maintenance teams keep equipment running efficiently and safely – in its own right, poorly managed technical content has been reported to cost each mechanic 1 to 2 hours per day in time wasted researching spares and instructions for repair tasks.Technical content provides the basis for determining the discrete configuration of installed components and accurate identification of the spare parts that keep them operating. In our audits we commonly find inaccuracies in spares identification approaching 50% for some equipment types – these inaccuracies invariably lead to incorrect, obsolete or duplicate spares in inventory.

Leverage technical content to improve productivity - Presentation Transcript
Continuous improvement for technical content management and key ERP Master Data delivering cost reductions for maintenance and supply chain functions for firms utilising complex capital equipment. “Good enough” should not be costing you good money!
Is this for me? What is it about? Technical content!
What it is and why it is important.
How it is probably costing you money right now.
How it can be fixed.
Who is this for? Anyone responsible for:
Maintenance of plant and equipment.
Supply chain: spares procurement and spares inventory management.
IT services supporting maintenance and supply chain.
Which industries? Operations utilising complex, high-value plant and equipment:
Resource.
Energy.
Transportation.
Is it really that important? What is technical content? Technical content is mission critical!
Parts books, service manuals, tech bulletins.
ERP Master data for maintenance & supply chain.
Essential for operating & maintaining your plant & equipment.
but, isn’t it ‘get and forget’? Technical content it highly dynamic:
Suppliers update designs and procedures.
Spare parts are constantly being superseded.
Configurations change at site.
Isn’t ‘Good enough’ good enough? It is rarely managed optimally resulting in:
Inventories inflated with incorrect, obsolete or duplicated parts.
Time wasted hunting for correct instructions and identifying right parts.
Valuable site staff tied up on repetitive administrative tasks.
What does it mean in reality? How is inventory really effected? In audits we commonly find inaccurately identified spares approaching 50% for some equipment types:
Incorrect, obsolete & duplicates in inventory
Fixing it recovers value & cuts inventory cost
Non-interchangeable
Superseded
Redundant
Good spares
How is maintenance effected? Maintenance staff can waste 1 to 2 hours per day per mechanic chasing the right instructions and identifying the right spares:
Wasted staff time.
Wasted equipment & production time.
Put time back in the workday Administrative overheads? The best site we’ve worked with had 2, full-time technical staff committed to administration of parts lists in the ERP system – and they got overwhelmed by an expansion.
Most sites don’t make that commitment!.
Isn’t this the wrong time for this? Global Financial Crisis Global Financial Recovery GFC GFR Get Future Checked Get Future Ready How to react to the GFC? Cost Control – one of the issues confronting all companies. Potential Responses include:
Focus on cost efficiency and effectiveness strategies
…back to the mantra of relentless pursuit of lower operating costs

Crisis response: First manage the shock, then seek out opportunities.
Firms with better strategies for cost management are
likely to enjoy better outcomes during the recovery.
Some companies will emerge from this period fitter and
more competitive. Will yours?
How does ATLiS help? How does it help mechanics find information? Automatically links the latest technical content into your ERP system. Identify parts from active, illustrated parts books and simply click to request them from your ERP.
How does ATLiS help? How does it help with inventory management? Provides complete, reliable Where-Used & Orphans reports to find duplicated, inaccurate and obsolete inventory - without the need to build endless BOMs in your ERP. Where-Used by:
Model Code
Equipment No.
Stock/Material Code
Orphans
Above this layer of reports there are two other reports which also use site data (e.g. expanded Bills of Material) to produce where-used for a single stock code and also the consolidated orphans report.
How does ATLiS help? How does it help with superseded part numbers? Automates synchronising ERP stock/materials records with part numbers superseded by your Suppliers.
How does ATLiS help? How does it reduce on-going administrative costs? Automates and outsources the administrative tasks of managing technical content without tying up valuable site staff. Turns your Suppliers into your information partner Equipment supplier Site staff Tempich,C. (20/3/09) Data Centric Business Models, Detcon International GmbH, Sources content, aligns to component configuration, links to equipment numbers ++ Your information partner.

Start small and work up based on demonstrated success
How can I secure long term value?
Continuous improvement program
Obtain increasing benefits over time
No pre-commitment required
How can I find out more? Productivity improvements through: Automate & outsource administration of OEM parts books, instruction manuals, technical bulletins Easier access to parts and instructions Cleansing master data critical to plant maintenance Improved production and management of Bill of Materials Simple & reliable Where-Used reporting and Orphans identification Catalog cleansing for spare parts Making your equipment suppliers into your information partner Call or email info@mpskey.com +61 403 804 228 We know you’ll be happy you called us!
