PEMAC Assets Erfahrungen

A very tidy system

Kommentare: Overall experience has been very positive. It is still early days but the feedback from users has been good. Interaction with PMI has been a pleasure in every aspect from sales through development/delivery and support.

Vorteile:

Very simplistic application for mobile use. Easy to learn and very flexible system. Have yet to utilize all features but so far so good.

Nachteile:

Some big time savers were missed by not having a bulk import template available. Some very tedious manual entry was required after migration from Pemac 5

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: CompuCal, IBM Maximo, CMx, ProCalV5, Blue Mountain RAM und SAP Concur

Gründe für den Wechsel zu PEMAC Assets: Existing history of Pemac onsite. The system is also good value for money and has great flexibility. The system was customised to suit our needs and we were informed of developments that were planned for the future.

PEMAC Assets as a CMMS in Pharmaceutical Industry

Kommentare: In the pharmaceutical industry we are expected to comply to regulatory requirements, so having a CMMS that is FDA and EU compliant is critical. Before we got PEMAC we were using an excel sheet to track PM and calibration due dates. This soon became unwieldly and sometimes equipment was late for PM or calibration leading to unnecessary deviations. Also, having a paper-based equipment file system is difficult to maintain and upkeep. PEMAC allows us to keep all of the equipment PM and calibration files electronically.

Vorteile:

The interface of PEMAC dashboard is very user friendly and intuitive. I also like that only area that users have access to are shown to them which simplifies training. The unplanned ticketing system is very helpful as well, giving most of the site access as a simple user with limited access to be able to submit an equipment maintenance ticket for unplanned events. This allows us to use one ticketing system instead of two, which in turn makes metric determinations for unplanned events easier.

Nachteile:

Unfortunately the way that we name our assets (allow 2 to 4 alpha type) is not compatible with PEMAC format numbering automation, so we still have to use an excel sheet to determine the next number per asset type. The licensing for access to different components was quite complicated but the newer version seems to have simplified this to more reasonable level. Something else that we would like to see in the future is a true SaaS cloud model to make it easier to share from site to site across the world.

Issues

Good

Vorteile:

Plenty of options and functionality. Relatively easy to set up

Nachteile:

Overall happy with the product, but it does require an investment of time by users and engineers to get the system up and running successfully.

Pemac is very beneficial in our business for documenting history records of plant and equipment,

Vorteile:

The Pemac Help desk is a very user friendly system, Basic and to the point. This in my opinion is what makes Pemac work. Pemac 5 works very well in the background but the help desk is used by everyone to drive the system forward inputting all the information and histoy. The help desk requires very little training for each section in it.

Nachteile:

Pemac has the ability to export information to Excel, however it does not have the ability to Import information, this would be very useful when creating new plant. I would also like to be able to make Pemac more adaptable in some areas as different plant have different needs from the system. Signing off on work, Approval of work may need to be carried out on some plant equipment, however this may not be required on other work. Report is also not adaptable and is hard to get the relevant information.

PEMAC help use to record and take control of our assets and manage them properly

Kommentare: The ability to control, record and manage the maintenance department within designated budgets.

Vorteile:

The fact that is a one stop shop for everything. All asset data, spare parts records, maintenance history etc. and purchasing all linked in the one program.

Nachteile:

Very little, But once an order is closed and for some reason you need to chance something it unforgiving. Its closed.

Good for tracking maintenance

Kommentare: Positive

Vorteile:

It will automatically produce PM's and you can add a resource person to carry out the work. Good for using for parts tracking. The support was good, just a call or a mail away.

Nachteile:

With some details like Assets or routines , they can not be deleted, should be an option maybe once a year, to tidy up the data.

Pemac 5

It covers all our Maintenance requirements and is a power software tool when used correctly.

Mobile ability on Pemac 5 is what I like least.
