EAM 101 · PROCESS OVERVIEW
What is Enterprise Asset Management?
Keep physical assets safe, available, compliant, and cost-effective through structured maintenance and technical history.
EAM manages the operating life of technical assets. It can integrate with B2A for handover and capital upgrades, and with PS for shutdowns or major projects, but everyday maintenance does not require a project.

EAM manages the operating life of technical assets. It can integrate with B2A for handover and capital upgrades, and with PS for shutdowns or major projects, but everyday maintenance does not require a project.
Keep physical assets safe, available, compliant, and cost-effective through structured maintenance and technical history.
Structures, documents, statuses, planning, postings, workflows, and integration make the lifecycle controlled and traceable.
Later levels compare alternatives before configuration choices become standards.
Move into reusable structures, controls, documents, and financial mechanics.
