Savings potential - reduce maintenance costs

Potential savings through a mobile solution based on SAP PM

Maintenance is under pressure: increasing plant complexity, a shortage of skilled workers, and higher demands for efficiency and transparency. Mobile solutions based on SAP PM help optimize processes and reduce costs. Instead of paper-based workflows, mobile maintenance enables the direct processing of orders on-site – via smartphone or tablet. Orders are processed and reported back immediately, eliminating media breaks and duplicate work. A key advantage is the reduction of administrative tasks. Times, materials, and work are recorded directly on-site. Companies report 20–40% less effort and more time for value-adding tasks. Downtime also decreases: technicians access maintenance histories, documentation, and spare parts data via mobile devices. Malfunctions are resolved faster, and the mean time to repair (MTTR) is reduced by 10–20%. Productivity and data quality also increase. Work steps are documented directly, including photos and measurements. This improves transparency and creates a reliable basis for analysis. In addition, spare parts planning is optimized, and stockouts are reduced. Mobile solutions also enable modern strategies such as predictive maintenance. Practical projects show that companies reduce their maintenance costs by 10–30% and increase efficiency and plant availability.
