My name is Edgar Mengelberg and I have been working with the Maximo and TPAE product suite in various Support roles for over 15 years.   Maximo Asset Configuration Manager (ACM) was originally developed to be used in the Aviation industry. This was because the aviation industry deals with complex components that have many sub parts and strict regulations. This leads to maintenance processes that need to be carefully planned and executed. While Maximo Base Services or TPAE can handle these tasks, ACM has specific functionalities that make... [More]

One of the key features of Maximo Asset Configuration Manager (ACM) is its ability to dynamically calculate the life (meter totals) of any asset. Meter values can be derived and viewed for any point in time in the history of the assets life cycle. This "active life cycle accounting" provides improved compliance for regulated industries, while helping to increase reliability and accountability. The calculation itself incorporates the configuration history of an asset. Ie where it has been installed and between what dates and is derived... [More]

Configuration Managed (CM) assets are different from other product assets because they can be composed of other assets or components defined within a hierarchy that have associated CM rules. Thus, CM assets are also called complex assets and they are built based on its corresponding model.   You can have a better understanding of the ACM Model application and its concepts accessing the following URL: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/blogs/a9ba1efe-b731-4317-9724-a181d6155e3a/entry/acm_quick_user_guide_models2?lang=en...

The Challenge : Planning packages of work can provide a number of challenges, particularly for transportation type assets where the dynamic nature of the assets operations means that the asset may not be where it is supposed to be!! Maintenance facilities are resourced based on carrying out a range of maintenance tasks, they know that for a given time period they will be maintaining an asset from the fleet (or a third party client) but not necessarily which specific asset it will be, to a certain extent they do not care which asset it will...

Asset Configuration Manager (CM) contains a powerful tool for creating and managing critical time-dependent maintenance or design change tasks that typically apply to an entire fleet. The Technical Records (CM) application is used to manage and apply changes issued by manufacturers, vendors, regulatory agencies, and others.  Technical Records (CM) can be used to manage the following types of records from manufacturers, vendors, and regulatory agencies:   Airworthiness Directives. (AD's are issued when an aviation authority finds that an... [More]

Configuration Management (CM) is the specification of allowable as-designed asset assemblies (“Models”) and/or as-maintained physical builds. It can also mean the process of ensuring that actual asset physical builds meet the requirements of an allowable configuration. Functional builds may also be represented (for example, an “electronic systems only” view of the equipment). For the purposes of this “Models” application design, we take the rigorous view that Configuration Management refers only to reference data (i.e. the configurations... [More]

Maximo Asset Configuration Manager (ACM) allows the construction, use and management of complex assets. These assets are generated based on structures known as Models. These models are built based on sub components known as build items (cm items). The ACM 7.5.0.1 patch introduced the ability to use the Maximo Integration Framework (MIF) to perform many ACM functions and load data into associated tables.   One of the most common and time consuming functions used within (ACM) is the addition and configuration of complex Models. These operations... [More]

What  is a Fleet in ACM  (Asset Configuration Manager) ? A Fleet is a (dynamic) list of end-items (Aircraft, Engines, Rail Vehicles etc) that have some form of common association, e.g. all the assets may have the same operator or owner, or may all be of a particular Model or Variation.  The fleets that are created are then used in the Maximo ACM Fleet Usage Load application to facilitate the bulk data load of meters against a fleet of assets and, may also be used for reporting capability. Use Case: An OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) or an... [More]

Maximo Asset Configuration Manager (ACM) allows a complete history of the components which make up a complex a Asset to be maintained and easily viewed for any given point in time. The ACM 7.5.0.1 patch introduced the ability to use the Maximo Integration Framework (MIF) to perform many ACM functions and load data into associated tables.   One of the most common functions used within (ACM) is the and removal and installation of sub-assembly Assets. These operations are now achievable via the MIF and three separate transactions are possible:  ... [More]

What do an airline, a national train operator, and a global engine manufacture have in common?  They probably have any number of things in common, but as this is a Maximo blog I will focus on the fact that they are all using Maximo Asset Configuration Manager (ACM) at the core of their business.   You may be asking ‘why’ and ‘what does ACM actually do’?   And apart from using ACM, what else do these businesses have in common? Complex assets High value assets Safety Critical operating environments Highly regulated by... [More]

Maximo Asset Configuration Manager (ACM) is designed to manage the configuration management requirements of complex assets operating in the aerospace, defence and rail sectors where safety and regulatory compliance is of primary importance. One of the central components of Maximo ACM is the Build Data Interpreter (BDI). At it's most basic level the BDI analyses configuration managed Assets position by position to ensure that they comply with the configuration rules established in the corresponding model. That said the BDI is a pretty... [More]
