  • Overtime in manufacturing, while often viewed as a labor issue, in reality points to deeper operational inefficiencies. According to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. manufacturing production and nonsupervisory workers logged an average of 3.2 overtime hours every week in June 2026, and that figure has held near or above 3 hours per week for years. Overtime at that scale is not an occasional busy week. It reflects how these plants operate day to day. In asset-intensive industries such as oil and gas, chemicals, mining, utilities, and heavy manufacturing, those extra hours pile up because equipment fails without warning, work […]
  • When work orders pile up faster than your team can close them, you have a maintenance backlog. More precisely, it is the queue of approved maintenance tasks, planned and unplanned, that have not been completed yet. Left unmanaged, a growing backlog drives unplanned downtime, higher reactive maintenance costs, and missed compliance windows. The good news: one global chemical producer cut its maintenance backlog by more than half using the methods covered in this guide. This guide will provide you a detailed overview on how to calculate your maintenance backlog, what counts as a healthy size, and the steps to bring […]
  • Not every asset deserves the same maintenance. A non-critical utility pump and a high-pressure feed pump on your main production train carry very different risk profiles, yet a single time-based schedule over-maintains one and under-protects the other.
  • Maintenance technicians often spend only 25 to 35 percent of their shift on hands-on work.The rest disappears into waiting on parts, permits, instructions, and coordination.That gap is exactly what maintenance management software is designed to close.But the best platform depends on your operating environment, whether you are running a global refinery, a multi-site manufacturing network, or a smaller field service team.
  • Connected worker platforms have evolved beyond digital forms and mobile inspections. Today, industrial organizations need platforms that execute maintenance, operations, inventory, and safety workflows reliably across thousands of frontline workers. While dozens of vendors claim to connect the frontline, far fewer can support complex plants running SAP or IBM Maximo, operating in hazardous environments, and managing multi-million-dollar maintenance budgets.
  • Every hour a maintenance team spends reacting to breakdowns is an expensive missed opportunity; industry research confirms that emergency repairs typically cost three to ten times more than the same job performed under a planned schedule. Planned Maintenance Percentage (PMP) is the critical metric that quantifies this gap, measuring the share of total maintenance labor hours dedicated to proactive, scheduled work. With 80% serving as the standard operational baseline, reaching this target is the fastest way to stabilize budgets and boost reliability.
  • Fixing your PM ratio is one of the highest-return moves a maintenance team can make. Emergency repairs cost 3 to 10 times more than the same job done on a schedule, and most industrial plants are still running at less than half the planned maintenance target. The industry benchmark is 80% planned work, 20% corrective or reactive work. This guide gives you a five-step framework to get there, plus the benchmarks, tools, and real-world example of how a chemical manufacturing giant was able to shift to a preventive maintenance culture enhancing PM to CM ratio from 45 to 80% by […]
  • Most storeroom inaccuracy doesn't announce itself. It shows up as a work order stuck in parts waiting for days, a bearing reordered twice because no one trusted the ERP count, or a technician hunting the wrong bin while a heat exchanger sits idle. Inventory accuracy is the percentage of your physical stock that matches what your ERP system records. In fact, a McKinsey study of over 100 asset-intensive companies found that only 10% ranked in the top third on both inventory cost and asset availability. The other 90% were paying more not because they were carrying less inventory, but because […]
  • Unplanned equipment failure costs industrial facilities an average of $125,000 per hour in lost production, and in continuous process operations, that figure is much higher. Preventive maintenance programs are how leading operations in oil and gas, chemical, and manufacturing cut that risk systematically, replacing costly emergency repairs with scheduled, controlled interventions. This guide covers what preventive maintenance is, how to build a program, and how enterprise teams are now using connected worker platforms and AI to execute PM at scale inside SAP and IBM Maximo environments.
  • Most organizations build and run maintenance programs on manufacturer-recommended intervals and institutional instinct, not evidence: the result is a dual cost trap of over-maintained equipment consuming unnecessary labor and parts, and under-maintained assets generating unplanned failures that halt production and spike repair costs. PMO is a structured process designed to systematically evaluate, adjust, and improve existing preventive maintenance programs. This is achieved by aligning the task frequency, type, and scope with actual equipment failure modes, rather than relying on OEM defaults or historical habits.

  • When most people hear "ERP implementation," they think long timelines, growing scope, and major business disruption.
  • This new post in our SAP AI Insights series explores how SAP AI solutions are being applied within the telecommunications industry, where recurring revenue, complex monetization models, and rapidly evolving service offerings are becoming central to growth.
  • When it comes to ERP, here's the question we hear most often. What does it actually cost?For a lot of growing companies, that question alone is enough to put the conversation on hold. The assumption is that SAP means a massive budget, a long commitment and a project that takes over the business for years.The reality is very different. And most companies we work with tell us the same thing when they see what's possible. We didn't expect it to be this accessible.With Bramasol's QPPS you get a defined scope, a predictable investment and a structured path to go live […]
  • This Insights post is the first in a new set of industry-focused articles within the broader SAP AI Insights series. It looks at how SAP AI applies to three sectors where recurring revenue and complex monetization models are becoming central to growth: Utilities, Renewable Energy, and Datacenters.
  • Most growing companies don't delay ERP because they're not ready.They delay it because they assume it'll be too big, too slow, and too expensive.And honestly? That assumption made sense — a few years ago.Cloud ERP has changed what's possible. In this short video, we cut through the noise and show you what modern ERP transformation actually looks like for companies at your stage.👉 Watch Now – Episode 1: ERP Is Not What You Think
  • In our initial Insights post in this series, SAP Sapphire 2026: Turning AI into Business Execution, we examined SAP’s game-changing AI announcements from Sapphire: AI is no longer just a standalone innovation story, but a practical enterprise capability that is already being embedded seamlessly into business processes, data, governance, and cloud ERP environments.
  • Our previous Insights post provided a high-level overview of SAP Sapphire 2026 announcements on Turning AI into Business Execution. In this new post, we're taking a deeper dive into the practical implications for line-of-business areas – specifically regarding finance, compliance and quote-to-cash.
  • SAP Sapphire 2026 marked an important shift in the enterprise AI conversation. SAP’s biggest message was not just that AI is becoming smarter. It was that AI now needs to be embedded directly into the business processes, data models, governance structures, and cloud ERP landscapes that companies rely on every day.
  • Thirty years ago, Bramasol was founded on a simple idea: to help companies unlock the full potential of their business systems to drive measurable value. Back then, the technology looked very different—on-premise servers, paper reports, and slow data refresh cycles. But while the tools have evolved dramatically, the essence of what our clients need has not.  Their broader expectations continually include clarity, agility, and confidence in the data used for their business decisions.
  • Turning the Digital Core into Enterprise Transformation  In a previous Insights post, we explored the benefits of Leveraging a Finance First Approach for SAP S/4HANA Transformation Projects. With this and subsequent Insights posts, we look deeper at how the finance-first approach enables targeted improvements to other business functions throughout the enterprise.

  • This week – my real-time organizational truth piece evokes AI context debates – is there project success beyond frontier model dependence? Ford rehires human engineers – but it's complicated. OpenAI volunteers for regulation (kind of), and buyers get real on AI.
