Whether you’re a technician entering data, a maintenance manager trying to reduce repeat failures, or an executive evaluating Maximo for your facility—your results depend on how well your assets are set up. In this video, I walk through the core elements of the Asset application in Maximo and explain how each field affects planning, work orders, inventory, and long-term decision making. No shortcuts, no advanced add-ons—just the basics every organization needs to run Maximo the right way. What you’ll learn: What information should be included on an asset How locations and hierarchy improve troubleshooting Why meters matter and when they should be used How warranty, purchase info, and install dates support decisions The role of spare parts (BOM) in reducing delays and emergency work Why classifications, specs, and attachments improve consistency How reliable asset data supports maintenance, planning, and budgeting These are the fundamentals that help maintenance teams communicate clearly, help planners plan work accurately, and help leadership understand what assets really cost to operate. If you’re considering Maximo, new to Maximo, or trying to strengthen your current setup, this walkthrough will give you a clear picture of what “good asset data” looks like. #IBMMaximo #Maintenance #AssetManagement #CMMS #Reliability #MaximoTraining
