13 Resources B2W's ONE Platform has the ability to capture data that is integral to managing operating costs, age, reliability and utilization. B2W Maintain collects labor at a standard rate and parts at standard or average. Also captured in B2W Maintain is information on equipment age, along with history of maintenance performed on each asset. Establishing automated preventive maintenance schedules enhances reliability and availability of equipment. B2W Track captures meter readings used to drive preventive maintenance schedules, in addition to equipment usage for utilization calculations that trigger equipment revenue in the ERP. B2W Schedule provides additional data for utilization and deployment. Owning costs are fixed costs associated with owning a piece of equipment such as depreciation, loan repayments, registrations, taxes, interest, etc. These costs are captured in the ERP. Operating costs are the variable costs incurred from operating a piece of equipment including maintenance labor, parts, fuel, etc. The actual operating costs are captured in the ERP based on a combination of data initiated in both the ERP and CMMS. Labor and parts are captured in the CMMS at a standard or average cost, and is typically used to trigger actual costs in the ERP. It is important to determine what level of detail will be established in the ERP system, given the decisions are made by different roles within a single organization. The detail available in the CMMS is typically not duplicated at the same granular level in the ERP. In order to use both systems to make informed equipment decisions, the Equipment Master must use Equipment ID's that are the same in both systems.
