Using the [APM Optimizer™](https://www.nexusglobal.com/apm-solutions) approach, we’re developing the complete asset register and asset classifications across facilities to accelerate adoption and reliable reporting. ## Client Profile (G&T Co‑op, Mission, Scale) Brief overview of the cooperative’s generation & transmission scope and service territory. ## Maximo Readiness Challenge (Data & Structure) To ensure Maximo delivers value on day one, the co‑op needed a complete, [standardized asset register](https://www.nexusglobal.com/apmsolutions/data-management/dataoptimizer) and classifications that support planning, cost rollups, and reliability reporting across sites. > "The company is rolling out Maximo throughout the organization and it has been riddled with delays and inconsistencies,” indicates Doug Robey, President of Nexus Global. “One site, in particular, is proactive in becoming Maximo ready and will have a smoother rollout and a well-prepared adoption process for the Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) system of choice." ## APM Optimizer™ Approach (What We’re Building) #### **Asset Register & Hierarchy (Site → Area → System → Equipment)** - Build multi‑level hierarchy across facilities - Align roll‑ups to planning, cost, and KPI reporting #### **Equipment Classes & Attributes (Standard MDM)** - Define classes with required attributes and units - Configure picklists and validation rules; assign data owners #### **Work/Failure/Cause Code Sets (ISO‑Aligned)** - Normalize code sets to improve closeout quality - Map codes to dashboards and KPIs #### **Maximo Configuration Artifacts** - Template lists and forms that reflect the standard - Governance: owners, change control, and audits ## Expected Outcomes for Maximo Go‑Live (Adoption, KPIs) Faster planning, accurate cost rollups, and trustworthy KPIs in Maximo—raising user adoption and shortening time‑to‑value. ## Why Co‑ops Benefit from APM Optimizer™ Shared standards reduce support burden, keep data clean across plants, and accelerate onboarding of new sites and crews. ### Why is asset data quality important before an EAM or CMMS implementation? Asset data quality directly affects how effectively an EAM or CMMS can support maintenance, planning, reporting, and reliability. Establishing accurate asset records, hierarchies, classifications, attributes, and standardized codes before implementation helps organizations start with a trusted data foundation rather than correcting problems after go-live. Learn more about improving asset data quality with [Data Optimizer™](https://www.nexusglobal.com/apmsolutions/data-management/dataoptimizer?utm_source=chatgpt.com). ### What asset data should be standardized before an EAM implementation? Organizations should standardize key information such as the asset register, asset hierarchy, equipment classes, attributes, units of measure, work codes, failure codes, and cause codes. Consistent standards make it easier to roll information up for maintenance planning, cost analysis, KPI reporting, and reliability analysis.  ### How does an asset hierarchy improve maintenance and reliability? An asset hierarchy organizes equipment into a consistent structure, such as site → area → system → equipment. This structure allows organizations to understand where assets belong, associate maintenance and costs with the correct equipment, and analyze performance at different levels of the organization. The power-generation project specifically aligned its hierarchy with planning, cost, and KPI reporting requirements.  ### Why is data governance important after EAM go-live? Data governance helps prevent asset information from becoming inconsistent or unreliable after implementation. Defined data owners, validation rules, change controls, and audits establish accountability for maintaining data quality as equipment, processes, and business requirements change.  ### How does Asset Performance Management complement an EAM or CMMS? An EAM or CMMS provides the system for managing asset and maintenance information, while Asset Performance Management (APM) connects that information with maintenance strategies, reliability processes, analytics, governance, and continuous improvement. Nexus Global’s integrated architecture positions platforms such as Maximo as the execution layer while the APM Optimizer Suite supports data, strategy, planning, and investigation processes around it.
