HBE101 
Introduction to Equipment  Management Systems:  An Overview
Video
To be effective, the EMI must address each stage of the equipment life cycle from purchase to replacement.  It includes:

  1. Inventory control
  2. Fleet planning
  3. Purchasing and replacement
  4. Maintenance
  5. Parts and supplies management
  6. Financial management
  7. Management information for timely 
    decision-making.

This Video provides a brief overview of these elements.  The benefits of EMI, the role of management and planning considerations are also discussed in the tape.  Each element of the EMI will be discussed in more detail in the five following tapes.  18 minutes.

HBE103 
Equipment Inventory
Video

This Video:

  1. Explains how to identify equipment requirements and establish an economic 
    fleet size and mix — fleet planning.
  2. Explains how to monitor the utilization and performance of the fleet — 
    inventory control.
  3. Outlines procedures that assure that each unit is replaced at its economic life 
    point and that effective specifications are developed for new purchases — 
    equipment re-placement.

20 minutes.

HBE105 
Equipment Maintenance
Video
This course discusses in detail the equipment maintenance element which includes three components:

  1. Preventive maintenance program
  2. Shop operations
  3. Facilities.

Design of a good preventive maintenance program and its implementation deserves the highest management attention to assure that the best possible program is developed and carried out.  The video shows you how to design and implement a good preventive maintenance program, and how to operate an equipment maintenance shop.  26 minutes.

HBE107 
Equipment Management  Information Sub-System
Video
This Video describes 1) an effective equipment management information sub-system and 2) task-by-task presentation of the EMS development and implementation process.  The equipment management information sub-system provides for the following:  identification of all output reports and identification of all input data required from the various EMS sub-systems and the system necessary to process and maintain the data from the various EMS sub-systems.  Successful implementation of the EMS requires careful planning and scheduling.  The implementation considerations and implementation phases and tasks in each phase are presented in detail on this video.  26 minutes.

HBE109 
Financial Management
Video
The fourth sub-system of the equipment management system is financial management.  It deals with cost accounting, budgeting, equipment rental rates and equipment funds.  These four elements are essential for developing a financial management system regardless of the size of the operation.  Many equipment decisions must be supported by sound cost information.  20 minutes.

HBE111 
Parts and Supplies  Management
Video
The objectives of parts and supplies management are:  1) to minimize equipment downtime by making spare parts and supplies available when they are needed 2)  to avoid unnecessarily large inventories which are costly.  The challenge of parts and supplies management is to balance downtime costs and inventory costs.  To achieve these objectives, the parts and supplies management sub-system should have 4 elements:  1) stock numbering and classification 2) stock selection and stock levels 3) parts and supplies inventory management and 4) fuel management.  This will be discussed in detail in the tape.  25 minutes.
