PEMAC Assets Erfahrungen

A comprehensive database of work in progress

Kommentare: Because of the link between work orders and purchase orders it ensure that goods received are correctly allocated to each job and minimum stock levels can be held reducing our holding costs. Overall we are very pleased with Pemac Assets

Vorteile:

The easy to use structure of linking a request to a work order to a purchase order

Nachteile:

Annual training for end users should be built into the annual fee, ensuring companies keep up to date with software features The character length restrictions in some of the fields eg costs description or PO task description could do with being increased to allow for more narrative

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

Pemac Assets

Kommentare: Disappointed. A backward step from Pemac 4.

Vorteile:

Little

Nachteile:

Poor user interface, inflexible, poor reporting, despite the platform and interface update, a significantly less successful implementation of a CMMS compared to Pemac 4/5.

Pemac Assets

Kommentare: Very good system, it is almost there in terms of a complete maintenance management system. The app has realized more up to date and live data entry which is great for kpi's. System a lot more user friendly especially for my role as a planner

Vorteile:

Bulk uploading new data is very useful. App version is ideal for crafts. Transfer of data from Pemac 5 to Pemac Assets was well supported by PMI

Nachteile:

System can be quite slow, number of new releases of app seems excessive. Dashboards need to have more customisation options for users

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

Kommentare: Really hard to get

Vorteile:

Have all your maintenance jobs in one place

Nachteile:

1.- You cannot have an approver around multiple sites. 2.- The system is crashing many times everyday. 3.- If you delete one Purchases line the system does not delete that from the system the line stay as purchases Request. 4.-The system is not really prepare fro a multisites

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 @Xilinx

Vorteile:

We mainly use the software to track our vendors Health and Safety documentation, Insurances and their training for their employees attending site for preventative maintenance. With multiple documents from multiple vendors PEMAC offers a one stop package for tracking their documents and notifications when documents have expired.

Nachteile:

We did integrate our permit system for Daily Work Permits / Hot Works / Confined Spaces, with your engineer during the initial set up, to remove the paper being used, and although they did capture what we wanted on the permits. In practicality when a vendor arrives on site it proved time consuming using the system rather than writing out the permit. Now this could be down to users not being familiar with the permit system on our PEMAC, and ultimately went back to paper.

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.

Great product, Millions of futures and the possibility to program the assets and management of form

Kommentare: After I took confidence in the system, I could enjoy its full potentiality

Vorteile:

Flexibility and the possibility to personalise it. The software gives the possibility to manage contractors as operators on-site. The software prevents people without the correct skills from operating the software.

Nachteile:

The feedback is to be completed after each block of training. The videos are not inclusive of all the function

The software worked as well as expected.

Good

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.

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

Vorteile:

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

Nachteile:

Mobile ability on Pemac 5 is what I like least.

Show me the money

The Export to excel speed in the report feature is awesome

Nachteile:

The filter search capability is ineffective

Warehouse / Inventory Management

Kommentare: Very poor, will look to move as soon as it possible need to get the timing right to avoid impacting our own business

Vorteile:

Overall fairly user friendly, reorder level scan for purchasing is a very effective tool but again it was changed as part of an upgrade and is now not as user friendly

Nachteile:

Changes made to modules without any consultation with customer and very poor follow up and support to put fixes in place
