Continuing ROI Post-Implementation

Phase Two

So you’ve implemented BMRAM, now what?– Introducing additional departments– Introducing additional sites/locations– Enhanced feature use– Integration with other quality systems

Introducing Departments & Sites

Who is a strong fit?– Production calibration– Production maintenance– Facilities– Quality Control– Research & Development– Validation

Introducing Departments & Sites

How is additional data addressed?– Leveraging existing dataset(s)– Configuration of new dataset(s)– Configuration of new site(s)– Migration of source data by Blue Mountain’s

Data Service Team– On-boarding

Introducing Departments & Sites

New and expanded feature use– Record types

• Calibration• Maintenance• Validation• Test• General• Spare Part/Inventory

• Work request• User defined records• Loop• System• Location• Logbooks

Introducing Departments & Sites

New and expanded feature use– Maintenance

• Problem, cause, remedy• Work Plan Templates• Meter based scheduling• Planning & projection• Craft codes/Labor• Bill of materials

Introducing Departments & Sites

New and expanded feature use– Calibration

• Measurement Data Templates• Measurement Uncertainty calculation• Standard classes• Test Accuracy Ratio

Introducing Departments & Sites

New and expanded feature use– Workspaces– Queries– Additional business rules– Notifications

Introducing Departments & Sites Reports

– Leverage existing reports• Adjust report scope & parameters

– Generation of new reports• Develop from ground up

– Label (with or without barcodes)• Calibration• Asset ID

– KPI/Metrics• Enhanced system use may warrant

investigation into a higher degree of BI

Introducing Departments & Sites

Benefits– Smarter scheduling– Easier to report on performance when

information is kept in one application– Faster implementation time– Promote harmonized approach to asset

management within organization– Lower total cost of system ownership– One system validation

Integration

Considerations– Expertise (in-house & vendor support)– Type of integration

• One way push• One way incoming• Two way exchange

– Fields transferred

Integration with LIMS & MES

Overview– Validated status of asset is shared with

LIMS/MES to ensure instruments and/or equipment are fit for usage in respective environments without accessing EAM/CCMS/CMMS (BMRAM)

Integration with LIMS & MES

How do BMRAM & LIMS/MES communicate?– Typically a “one-way push” of data to a table

view– Table view created by BMQR development– Data pulled from table view into LIMS/MES– Data is visible from within LIMS/MES

Integration with LIMS & MES

How do RAM & LIMS/MES communicate?– Specific fields of data are passed from

BMRAM to LIMS/MES and typically include…• Asset identification• Last calibration date• Next due date• Pass/Fail status

Integration with LIMS & MES

Benefits– Ensures assets are fit for use– Expedites verification time– Eliminates the need for LIMS/MES users to

understand BMRAM and access BMRAM for this information

Integration with ERP

Overview– BMRAM accepts asset information from ERP

to maintain consistency of data between applications, sometimes passing back & forth work related information as well

Integration with ERP

How do BMRAM & ERP communicate?– Asset ID & attributes are passed from ERP to

BMRAM into read-only fields– ERP is master with respect to asset record,

BMRAM is slave– BMRAM may accept work order number

information from ERP, passing back closed status to ERP upon completion

Integration with ERP

Benefits– Ensures consistency of data between

applications with one being the primary host of certain information

– Eliminates discrepancies that may occur as a result of updating information in two separate systems

– May assist with financial analysis, ordering and reporting depending on the integration

Integration Great, so how do I get started?

– Discovery call• Customer• Blue Mountain• Third party vendor (if applicable)

– Draft statement of work• Summary of proposed solution• Breakdown of responsibilities, tasks and time• Pricing information

Integration

– Customer review– Finalize Statement of Work– Purchase order– Scheduling
