This chapter covers the following topics:
The Enterprise Asset Management Command Center enables increased asset reliability while reducing operational costs, and improves the visibility of key focus areas that enable Enterprise Asset Management supervisors to take quick actions in asset maintenance. You can use the Enterprise Asset Command Center to:
Maximize asset availability:
Analyze asset performance metrics.
Identify recurring failures and expedite resolution.
Prioritize work order exceptions:
Adjust resource scheduling to avoid schedule delays and cost overruns.
Respond quickly to material shortages:
View spare part requirements and usage trends.
Prioritize critical work orders and update material allocations to resolve out-of-stock conditions.
The Enterprise Asset Management Command Center improves the visibility of key focus areas, enabling Enterprise Asset Management supervisors to take quick actions in asset maintenance.
Note: You can use the Enterprise Asset Management Command Center only after the installation and common configurations are completed as described in My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 2495053.1, Installing Oracle Enterprise Command Center Framework, Release 12.2. For additional ECC Overview information, see Overview of Oracle Enterprise Command Center Framework, Oracle E-Business Suite User's Guide.
Use the dashboard sidebar to refine (filter) the data on each dashboard. You can also Search using a keyword, value, or a specific record. You can also search using Descriptive Flexfield (DFF) attributes for the following dashboards:
Assets Dashboard - Available Refinements: Asset Attributes, Item Instance Flexfield Details
Open Work Orders Dashboard - Available Refinement: Work Order Flexfields
Materials Dashboard - Available Refinement: Component Information Flexfields
For a list of Enterprise Asset Management flexfields, refer to Configuring Descriptive Flexfields for Search.
In certain dashboards, you can further refine information by searching multiple data sets at once. From the Available Refinements component, click the Options icon and select data sets for the following dashboards:
Assets Dashboard - Assets, Asset Attributes, Work Order Assets, Asset Attributes, Collection Results
Open Work Orders Dashboard - Work Orders, Work Requests, Collection Results
Materials Dashboard - Stores Materials, Stores Work Order, Inventory On-Hand
The type-ahead feature suggests matches for your entry that correspond to the selected data set. When you submit a search, the search term is added to the Selected Refinements list, and the dashboard data is refined to include only records that match the search. You can add multiple refinements and remove any of them at any time. Using Saved Searches, you can create and save your searches and refer to them later. You can also edit and delete saved searches.
Use an asterisk (*) or percent sign (%) to perform a partial keyword or record search that matches any string of zero or more characters. You can also use a question mark (?) to perform a partial search that matches any single character.
Additional Information: For more information about searching for and refining data in enterprise command centers, see Search in Highlights of an Enterprise Command Center, Oracle E-Business Suite User's Guide.
Use the Assets Dashboard to analyze metrics and refine asset performance. Using the Assets Dashboard, you can:
Review and update asset activity routing for schedule optimization.
Identify recurring failures and define them as activity templates.
Track reliability metrics including MTBF and MTTR for assets.
Analyze asset life cycle costing and performance trends.
You can view asset metrics, asset charts, and an assets results table. The following is a partial display of the Assets Dashboard.
