Leverage technical content to improve productivity
The document discusses technical content management for complex capital equipment, which involves maintaining accurate parts books, service manuals, and ERP master data for maintenance and supply chain functions. It argues that current "good enough" practices for technical content management are inefficient and costly, leading to inflated inventories, wasted staff time searching for information, and high administrative overheads. The solution presented is an automated technical content management system that links updated content to ERP systems, provides reliable inventory and obsolete parts reporting, and outsources administrative tasks to reduce on-going costs.

Editor's Notes
- #2 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.
- #4 (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.

- #10 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.
