Plant, Fleet & Equipment Manager

Plant, Fleet & Equipment Management for Project-Based Industries

Keep every machine available, productive and within budget.

ProjectVIEW ERP is not a fleet tool beside the ERP. It is one integrated system that links each machine on site, in the yard, offshore or in the mine to the BoQ or BoM items, WBS activities and cost codes it works on, and to the company's maintenance, spares and asset accounts. The BoQ ↔ WBS ↔ Cost Codes structure weaves site, project and company data into one consistent record, with the integrity that ProjectVIEW AI needs to give reliable forecasts, alerts and answers.

A live usability index finds idle equipment, and every hour, repair and cost is traceable. Utilization and maintenance history per machine becomes the record for the next fleet plan and the next estimate.

What does a plant, fleet and equipment manager do in a project-based company?

A plant, fleet and equipment manager keeps machines available and productive, while staying within budget on every project. In ProjectVIEW ERP each machine is linked to BoQ or BoM items, WBS activities and cost codes, from the estimate until execution. Utilization, maintenance and cost per machine and per work item are therefore visible in one place. It works for site plant, yard cranes, vessels and spreads, mining fleets as well as shop machinery.

  • Allocate: select, buy or hire machines, and assign them to projects when work needs them.
  • Maintain: then plan preventive, predictive and corrective maintenance around the schedule.
  • Control cost: finally, report utilization, fuel, operators, maintenance and depreciation per machine and per item.

How ProjectVIEW ERP supports plant, fleet and equipment managers

01
Which machine goes where?
Requests come from the project, and managers then check availability and lock the machine to the requesting items. Machinery Management
02
Is the machine working or idle?
A live usability index shows how much each machine is used during execution. Machinery Management
03
When is maintenance due?
Work orders for predictive, preventive and corrective maintenance keep machines available when the project needs them. Machinery Maintenance AI Agent
04
Are spares available?
Spares procurement and inventory support timely repairs when a machine fails. Materials & Production Management
05
What does the machine cost per item?
Fuel, lubricants, operators, maintenance and depreciation are linked to daily use per item, so cost per item is known. Cost Control
06
Do operators match the machines?
Operators are matched with equipment, so productivity and cost control improve. HRMS & Payroll

What does a plant, fleet and equipment manager do?

They select, buy or hire and allocate equipment, and also manage maintenance and control spares. In addition, they report utilization and cost, so equipment cost stays within the project budget.

How do you calculate equipment cost per BoQ or BoM item?

To begin with, daily machine use is linked to the item. Then fuel, lubricants, operator, maintenance and depreciation cost are applied to those hours and posted to the item and the cost code.

What is a machinery usability index?

A live measure of how much each machine is used during execution, so idle machines are found before they consume the budget.

Which maintenance types are supported?

Preventive, predictive and corrective maintenance are supported, together with work orders, spares and a history per machine.

Which industries does this cover?

Construction, shipbuilding and repair, marine and offshore, mining and quarrying, as well as project-based manufacturing. The same equipment control logic also applies in each, whether the scope is a BoQ, a BoM or a work package.
