Please join us as Dan and Julie Floen, President and CEO of Professional Materials Management, Inc, discuss and demonstrate how your CMMS can provide you with information to help answer these questions about reducing your inventory.

The BIG question they will address is how to make the most of your inventory investment while preserving service levels to your user community and customers.

Inventory represents a major financial investment. But, cutting inventory can open us up to costly risks if not done correctly.

So, what is a wise maintenance manager to do??

The Data Explorer is a very useful tool that allows you to view your assets, parts, work orders, PM’s, and contacts in a unique way. By configuring the “tree view,” you can see the records broken down and separated by the values in the fields of your choosing. This allows you to organize them in a way that the standard list view cannot.

This session, provided by Product Specialist Alex Allen, reviews the process of creating Inventory based reports in eMaint X3. It includes a review of the report writer interface, discussion of the data tables associated with the inventory transaction history, adjusting the output of the reports and publishing to the dashboard.

This feature lets you associate parts from your Parts file to your PM Schedules, giving you the ability to view the PM parts requirements when planning the work, as well as the option to automatically charge the Parts out on the PM work order when it is closed.

This feature gives you the ability to associate parts from your Parts File with your Asset record and manage the list of the related parts.

Once established, the list of Related Parts for an asset is then easy to incorporate into the work order charges section for any work order that is associated with an asset using the 'Quick Parts' option on the charges section of the work order.

This document describes how to associate suppliers with inventory items to aid you in the purchase process. In eMaint, each supplier must have a supplier record in the Maintenance Contacts table. Before you can associate suppliers with parts, you must first make sure that each supplier has a contact record established. Once supplier records are in place, the suppliers may be associated with parts.

This feature is designed to view and organize the Parts history into manageable groups of data, yet still allow for full searching. When you click the History link on the Parts detail screen, the system automatically filters the history down to one year prior to today’s date.

The eMaint X3 system offers three types of inventory methods to value your on-hand inventory:

• Standard Inventory Method - this is the default method used in an X3 account
• First In/First Out (FIFO) Inventory Method
• Last In/First Out (LIFO) Inventory Method
