What is enterprise asset management?
Enterprise asset management (EAM) is the process of managing the maintenance and lifecycle of physical assets to plan and optimize their use, track maintenance activities, schedule replacement and even manage disposal. The process is essential to improving operational efficiency, minimizing risk, and reducing costs of equipment ownership.
EAM can technically be handled on paper, but most organizations with fleets of equipment and machinery, utilize specialized EAM software for efficient and effective EAM operations.
