The BI-Cycle 2012 maintenance data mart model has load scripts for Maximo 4.x, 5.x, 6.x, 7.x which can very quickly deliver a proven comprehensive KPI reporting, failure and reliability analysis environment for continuous maintenance improvement.

The BI-Cycle 2012 model includes:

• KPI Management
• Reliability Analysis, RCM and FMECA compliant with ISO 14224 coding for Equipment Categories, Equipment Classes, Equipment types, Failure Mechanisms, Failure Modes, Failure Causes, Detection Methods, Maintenance Activities.
• Master Data Management
• FastPlan v2

BI-Cycle delivers value from the first time you put data into the model and start looking at your own data in a new light with the analysis tool.

The BI-Cycle Maximo demo and evaluation offer is:

• to build a BI-Cycle demo model with your data.
• deliver a web presentation of the BI-Cycle Analysis tools and data mart model using your data.
• At NO CHARGE

To build the model you need to provide an Oracle .dmp of your Maximo Schema and we can put in place an appropriate Non-disclosure agreement to cover this activity.

Based on the experiences of other BI-Cycle implementations you will probably not be surprised by some of the messages the tool will deliver but it will quickly highlight problem areas, provide the evidence for potential maintenance improvements and show how BI-Cycle can be used to support your maintenance activities.

Looking at the EAM marketplace there seems to be a lot of discussion and uncertainty in the user base around reporting and which tool to use.

Using the market leading IBM Maximo as an example, so far we have had SQR, Actuate, BIRT, and now IBM is pushing COGNOS as a higher end approach. There is also a lot of BusinessObjects out there connected to Maximo and other EAM’s.

All these approaches have taken a long time to develop/re-develop and in my experience have not been effective in supporting continuous maintenance improvement.

The business case for the BI-Cycle data mart, Analysis tool and KPI management/web reporting remains as strong as ever. Why burn thousands of dollars on a new reporting environment, specification, development/testing when you can install a validated environment and reports which monitor maintenance processes, master data, reliability etc.. with all the KPI metrics you could wish for.
