Finally, you decide if Work Orders are included in projects. If included then you need to set up Project
Manufacturing module, and then create a Work Order. If Work Orders are not included in projects,
create a Work Order.
1) Linear Assets
Linear Assets have linear properties and are connected with each other by their relationship with the
linear infrastructure itself. i.e. Networks
For example a metropolitan city which has a huge network of subways & roadways. You can model
them as linear assets in an Asset Management system and the buildings, poles parks and terminals can
be represented as non-linear assets. The joins and overlaps of the Linear Assets make up the networks
and the non-linear assets can be placed within that Network for positioning and tracking purposes.
Example are Roads, Rail lines and tracks ,Highways, airport runways, harbors,Ports, Subways, cables,
Waterways, Transmission Lines, Water & Sewer pipe lines, Oil & Gas Pipelines
2) Non-Linear Assets
A non-linear asset does not have any linear property, occupies some space as per dimension and can be
tracked by its location or modeled as part of a parent child hierarchy.
For example, Mobile assets such as fleet, vehicles, tools and equipment, Fixed Physical assets i.e.
plant, equipment, facility ,Component relationship based assets (aircraft, ship), Terminals, Rail cars,
Buses, Trucks, Buildings, Parks, Poles, Substations, Facilities, Power Generating Plants &
Equipment,Pumping Stations, Extraction Facility.

Implementation steps for Oracle eAM module
List all the implementation steps for Oracle eAM module ?
1) Setting Up Organizations
4) Setting Up Areas
When installing Oracle Enterprise Asset Management, the installation process automatically creates the
following five responsibilities:
a) Oracle Enterprise Asset Management
b) Maintenance User Workbench
c) Maintenance Super User
d) Self-Service Work Requests
e) Self Service Time and Expenses
The 'Oracle Enterprise Asset Management' responsibility mentioned above is a super user responsibility.
It includes the necessary functions to set up and implement Oracle Enterprise Asset Management.

1) An asset is an entity for which users can report problems. Assets can be cooling towers, cranes,
buses, buildings, conveyors, or anything that needs work.
2) eAM creates and implements maintenance procedures for both assets and rebuildable Inventory
items and takes care of comprehensive and routine maintenance requirements of asset intensive
organizations. It effectively maintains assets such as vehicles, cranes and HVAC systems and rotable
Inventory items such as motors and engines.
3) eAM enables users to optimally plan and schedule maintenance operations /activities with minimal
disruptions to an organizations operations and productions. It measures performance and optimizes
maintenance operations. It tracks the performance of the assets and rebuildable inventory items by
using meters, quality plans and conditioning systems.
4) By effectively monitoring operational data such as maintenance history, performance trends, meter
readings, and operating conditions, organizations can proactively manage available resources such as
inventory, equipment and skilled personnel to match them to asset maintenance demand.
5) Optimization of asset utilizations, scheduling and resources improves resource efficiency and
enhances maintenance quality, maximizes resource availability including equipment and labor.
Maintenance costs and work history are tracked at asset level.
6) Oracle eAM enables organizations to create and implement optimal and effective asset management
strategies that can increase revenue and decrease costs. Both Preventive and Predictive Maintenance
strategies are supported by eAM. It allows you to create alternate maintenance strategies for seasonal
or production capacity changes. It supports sophisticated, condition-based maintenance strategies for
property, plants and public infrastructure, improves operation performance, and with preventive and
scheduled maintenance, increases safety, optimizes Scheduling and resource efficiency.
7) It eliminates the need for spreadsheets and disparate data repositories, by enabling companies to
manage reactive, planned, preventive maintenance, and adopt a centralized, proactive strategy for
managing asset maintenance across an enterprise.
8) Oracle eAM's single-instance design ensures best practices and quality compliance globally,
eliminates excess and obsolete spare parts inventories, promotes environmental, health and safety
policies, smoothes coordination of production and maintenance schedules and improves both the
responsiveness and accuracy of contracted maintenance.
9) It bridges the gap between ERP/MRP solutions and Asset Maintenance for industries that rely heavily
on Asset Maintenance Systems.
10) It is a lynchpin of the integrated workplace incorporating visual navigation for space planning and
allocation, multi-channel service request processing, building systems maintenance and technology
asset tracking.
11) eAM improves return on capital assets by integrating physical with financial aspects and supporting
deep collaboration between project lifecycle and service lifecycle operations.
12) It integrates seamlessly with other modules of E-Business suite and is suitable for Metals/Mining,
Manufacturing, Pulp/ Paper, Petrochemicals, Facilities and Education and many more assets.
