- Wes Holmes, Principle Consultant of Global PTM

Abstract: Maintenance is a very complex and data intensive business process. Traditional “maintenance reporting” has simply never rendered the kind of deep analysis and timely decision making tools needed for maintenance decision makers. The new Oracle Business Intelligence Suite is changing all of that. This panel of experts will provide an overview of the solution and some examples of how it is being used. Then we will allow the audience to ask the panel about how this new technology can be applied in their industry and their company.

Abstract: Oracle eAM is a solid, industrial strength Asset Management Solution that meets most of the needs of asset intensive companies. But how do you fill those few special requirements? The answer is simple, you “Accessorize”. Niche software providers (according to Gartner) are taking advantage of Oracle’s open architecture, published API’s and industry leading middleware to create some very unique and feature rich “Accessory Software” to enhance and extend Oracle eAM. So how to do you know what “Accessories” to buy and where do you should get them? Attend this session and you will find out!

Presenter: Randy Foster, Bridger Coal Co.

Abstract: Regulatory inspections can be a significant component of maintaining assets for a mining site.

Using Interwest Mining as an example, this presentation depicts the use of eAM in their underground coalmine collecting MSHA (Mine Safety & Health Administration) permissibility inspection data through setup and usage of quality plans. This use of quality plans automates follow-up work order creation providing a simple interface for the collection of data and ensuring audit-tracking capability for mitigation work.

The Quality module has been an integral component of EBusiness Suite Applications for a long time, and this unique approach takes advantage of the integration of the Oracle products. The Interwest Mining Company can exploit the integration of the eAM module preventing the need for personalization and customizations.
