Selecting a suitable maintenance strategy can result in a substantial reduction of maintenance costs without putting the required functionality at risk.
In order to achieve the required cost savings, an individual, accurate and verifiable valuation of assets is essential. This module allows the user to evaluate each asset with a self defined assessment system and realize an effective short and middle term maintenance planing.
General Characteristics
- Data can be stored in any database (e.g. Oracle, MS-Access, SQL Server etc.) or directly in a NEPLAN file
- Allows easy integration to existing ERP systems (e.g. SAP)
- Assessment criterion can be added or changed by the user
- Allows quickly to assess the conditions of the components
- Different charts give a useful overview over the overall conditions of the components
- A budgeting evaluation tools is available, which calculates the costs for the following maintenance strategies:

- CBM (condition based maintenance)
- RCM (reliability based maintenance)
- Integrates smoothly with our famous NEPLAN-Reliability module
- Using the RCM module in NEPLAN any calculation result can be used to calculate condition or importance (e.g. use calculated loadings for lines, ENS (Energy Not Supplied), … )
- Can be excellently used for reinvestment strategies
