Asset Management FAQ
What is EAM in ERP?
Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) in ERP manages the full lifecycle of physical assets — from acquisition and maintenance to disposal. It includes preventive maintenance scheduling, work orders, spare parts management, and asset depreciation.
Which ERP has the best asset management?
IFS Applications, SAP (with SAP EAM/PM), and Oracle (with Oracle EAM) offer enterprise-grade asset management. Infor M3 and JD Edwards also have strong EAM capabilities for asset-intensive industries.
Do I need a separate CMMS or is ERP asset management enough?
For most companies, ERP asset management handles preventive maintenance, work orders, and asset tracking well. Asset-intensive industries (utilities, mining, oil & gas) may benefit from dedicated CMMS/EAM solutions like Maximo or Infor EAM.
What is preventive vs predictive maintenance?
Preventive maintenance is scheduled at fixed intervals (e.g., every 90 days). Predictive maintenance uses IoT sensor data and analytics to predict when equipment will fail, servicing only when needed — reducing costs and downtime.
How does ERP track asset depreciation?
ERP asset management integrates with finance to track asset depreciation using methods like straight-line, declining balance, or units-of-production. This ensures accurate financial reporting and tax compliance for fixed assets.
