Top 5 Benefits of Using IBM Maximo for Asset Management

Written by Sasri Murray | Sep 18, 2023 12:04:21 AM

As part of my role at BPD Zenith, I work closely with our APAC clients and understand the importance of having an efficient and effective asset management system. I’ve also been fortunate to see how our clients benefit from IBM Maximo to achieve their business goals and streamline their asset management processes.  

In this article, I will discuss the key benefits of using Maximo, the importance of choosing the right partner, and how BPD Zenith can help you succeed.

 

 

Introduction to IBM Maximo Asset Management

IBM Maximo is a comprehensive asset management system that helps organisations manage their assets efficiently and effectively. The system provides complete visibility into an organisation's assets, allowing users to track, manage, and maintain assets from a single platform. IBM Maximo is designed to help organisations improve their asset management processes, increase efficiency, and reduce costs. 

 

Key Benefits of Using IBM Maximo Asset Management 

Improved Asset Tracking and Management

One of the key benefits of using Maximo is improved asset tracking and management. The system provides complete visibility into an organisation's assets, allowing users to track assets from procurement to disposal. With IBM Maximo, organisations can easily track asset locations, usage, and maintenance history throughout its lifecycle. This visibility helps organisations make better decisions about asset maintenance and replacement, which can reduce costs and increase asset lifespan. 

 

 

Increased Efficiency and Productivity 

Another benefit of using IBM Maximo Asset Management is increased efficiency and productivity. The system streamlines asset management processes, reducing the time and effort required to manage assets. With IBM Maximo, organisations can automate asset tracking, maintenance scheduling, and procurement processes, which saves time and reduces errors. This increased efficiency and productivity can help organisations reduce costs and improve overall performance. For example, we worked with DP World Australia to implement Maximo, which in turn provides them with better visibility and the ability to synchronise its operations nationwide and schedule maintenance effectively.   

 

Enhanced Decision-Making Capabilities

IBM Maximo Asset Management provides organisations with enhanced decision-making capabilities. The system collects data on asset usage, maintenance history, and performance, which can be analysed to make better decisions about asset management. With IBM Maximo, organisations can generate reports on asset performance, maintenance costs, and other key metrics, which can be used to make informed decisions about asset maintenance and replacement. 

 

Better Compliance and Risk Management

Maximo helps organisations better manage compliance and risk. The system provides complete visibility into an organisation's assets, which helps ensure compliance with regulations and standards. Maximo also provides tools for managing risk, such as tracking asset maintenance and identifying potential issues before they become problems. This can help organisations reduce the risk of downtime and other performance issues. For a real-life example, you can read more about how our colleagues at BPD UK implemented Maximo to achieve the stringent pharmaceutical regulations required for a client that is a major pharmaceutical manufacturer.  

 

Cost Savings with IBM Maximo

Using Maximo can result in significant cost savings for organisations. The software helps organisations optimise asset utilisation, reduce downtime, and extend asset life. Additionally, Maximo helps organisations reduce maintenance costs by providing real-time data on asset performance and identifying potential issues before they become a problem.
