Make it a ResolutionA new year brings with it the drive to get better at everything you do - not just in the big things, but

also with the small, mundane tasks that can make life easier.

When developing a list of resolutions for your food processing plant, creating a better asset management system should be close to the top.

It's not the most glamorous resolution. Nor the most exciting job in a food processing plant. In fact, most people glaze over when they start thinking about asset management - and push off developing

a better system until sometime in the future.

Better Asset ManagementWhile asset management isn't necessarily exciting, it does play a huge role in the success of your food processing operation. Consider these facts:

• Poorly maintained equipment will cause a costly breakdown, robbing you of time and money.

• Poor compliance records often lead to fines and can cost you big in the case of a lawsuit.• Missing equipment instruction and maintenance manuals can further downtime.• Poorly maintained files can result in not having enough replacement parts on hand in case

of a breakdown.• When equipment isn't maintained correctly, it shortens its usable life causing an increase in

capital expenditures.

Poor asset management is a huge expense - and one that many companies are paying simply because they are using an outdated system. Proper records on equipment maintenance and compliance actions are in your best interest!

What to Look ForWhen updating your asset management system, these tips will help you find the right system for you:

Not DependentOn One PersonIf they get sick or quit, it will leave you scrambling. Find a system that anyone can update.

#1

Utilizes CloudComputingIf your system requires employees to input information on a single computer, it's costing you time. Opt for a system that allows access from any computer or mobile device.

#2

No ExpensiveEquipmentLet's be honest. If an asset management system requires a huge, costly investment, it will take longer to get approval, install, and train employees how to use. Look for a system that doesn't require a huge upfront investment.

#3

Accessible fromMobile DevicesImagine a system that puts all asset management documents and reports in the palm of your employees' hands. If they need a maintenance manual on a piece of equipment, it's as close as their own smart phone.

#4

Easy toLearnYour employees have enough to learn and remember. Implementing a complex and confusing asset management system will guarantee one thing: it won't be used right, if at all.

#5

CustomSet-UpThere's nothing worse than implementing a system that doesn't meet your needs. Find a system that is customizable and scale-able to fit your company.

#6
