The document summarizes a presentation given at a plant maintenance user group meeting about using SAP PM and Meridium reliability tools for reliability analysis. Vince Flynn from DuPont and Joel Barger from Meridium discussed how DuPont configured SAP PM to capture reliability data using equipment classes, codes, and events. They also described how Meridium tools interface with SAP PM data for reliability-centered maintenance, Weibull analysis, risk-based inspection, and other analyses to drive defect elimination and maintenance strategy improvements. The goal is to close the loop from maintenance data in SAP PM to reliability analysis and back to updated plans and tasks in SAP.

DuPont SAP Update
• Began using SAP in the early 1990s
− PM used in Europe, Asia and Canada – R/2
− US sites remained on Legacy Business and CMMS systems
• Now implementing a multi-year program to move North America
onto SAP R/3
− Projects within the program are Business driven
− “Go-Lives” are sequenced from 2002 thru 2004+
− Multiple cluster architecture with leveraged configuration
− Utilizing most R/3 Modules, including PM (no HR)
− Bolt-on applications being used to augment SAP functionality,
including Meridium
5. The Business Problem
• Maintenance optimization requires:
− Efficiency – Planning & Scheduling, Materials Procurement, etc…
− Effectiveness – Doing the right work
− Reliability Improvement - to eliminate failures and optimize
maintenance strategies.
− The Stake for Reliability Improvement is BIG
− The potential Uptime gain is worth 5X the maintenance cost
savings
• Identified a need for a Reliability Analysis Tool Set that
would enhance the value of the data being collected in
SAP PM

7. Reliability
Reliability is "the probability that a device will perform
its intended function for a specified length of time
when operated within the environment for which it
was designed.“
Nachlas (1995)
8. What is reliability?
• Elimination of failures?
• Reduction in frequency & cost of repairs?
• Predictable
availability?
• Avoidance
of incidents?
…All of these

and Catalog Codes
• The PM Equipment Class is a structured catalog of
Equipment based on:
− Legacy equipment types
− Benchmarking
„ What does it cost to maintain a specific class of equipment
− ISA, ISO and other Standards
• For DuPont over 400 Classes have been defined
− Characteristics have been defined for each Class
• Catalog Codes (Failure Codes) are related to an
Equipment Class
− Used ISO Standard 14224 as a basis for coding

55. Conclusions
• Leading companies have begun to shift to Reliability
Improvement (RI) as a way to drive asset productivity
• SAP PM can provide the transactional data for RI if
configured to support reliability
• Enterprise Reliability Management Systems (ERMS)
can provide tools for managing the data and
providing analysis and decision support tools
• The integration of ERP and ERMS has begun
• SAP and Meridium are working together to provide
an integrated solution
− e.g. BAPI developments that open the architecture
