Asset Management Technology Project

CalMac Ferries Limited (CFL) are proposing to introduce an industry standard Asset Management software solution/CMMS which is Type Approved (SEE NOTE BELOW) , for the management of assets (primarily vessels, but also ports with associated infrastructure), maintenance and parts with all associated functionality in a project known as Asset Management Technology (AMT). The new AMT system is expected to enable CFL to effectively control maintenance, stocking and technical purchasing activities/functions in a streamlined manner, delivering measurable efficiencies across the organisation and enabling further future improvements by adopting modern asset management technologies. The AMT system shall enable this aided by shared master data from within a centralised and standardised database. The AMT system is likely to include the following functionality/requirements; - Asset Register for assets across all sites (including assets that can transfer between sites) following industry standard SFI coding conventions.
