Find the money sitting in your material data.
Material master cleansing, cataloguing, and BOM work all come down to someone reading the vendor documents. Raven's agents do the reading: spare parts lists, IOM manuals, GA drawings, datasheets. Your material master, BOMs, and inventory are checked against what the documents say, and every value links to the page it came from.
Raven is not another EAM, and nothing migrates. It works from extracts of the SAP, Maximo, or other EAM you already run, and the corrections go back into it.
Duplicate and obsolete codes, valued.
This is the de-duplication and obsolescence review of a material master cleansing project, done by agents that read the documents. Candidates come with the evidence attached, your materials team confirms, and every confirmed pair is valued at the stock held against it.
| Code | Description | On hand | Finding |
|---|---|---|---|
| MS-118402 | SEAL, MECHANICAL; 45MM | 2 · site A | duplicate pair |
| MS-104226 | MECH SEAL 45 MM T-21 | 1 · site C | same maker part no. |
| GSK-2205 | Gasket, spiral wound 6″ | 40 | superseded · still stocked |
| BRG-30291 | Bearing 6207-2Z | 12 | no movement · 6 yrs |
BOMs built and checked.
Equipment with no BOM in the EAM gets one built from its own vendor documents, with every part carrying the page it came from. Existing BOMs are checked the same way, and the differences reported per equipment.
| Part | Qty | EAM |
|---|---|---|
| Mech seal 45 mm T-21 | 1 | in EAM |
| Wear ring set | 2 | missing |
| Brg 6207-2Z | 2 | qty differs |
| Casing gasket | 1 | in EAM |
Spares checked before the job.
Before each PM job, the parts its task list needs are checked against stock and open orders. Stockouts reach the planner with time to order or borrow, not on the morning of the job.
| Part | Job | Stock |
|---|---|---|
| Seal kit | PM-1142 · P-3101A | 2 in stock |
| Wear ring set | PM-1142 | on order · PO-8812 |
| Coupling insert | PM-1156 · K-401 | no stock |
| V-belt set | PM-1160 · B-205 | 6 in stock |
The same part, bought at three prices.
Procurement leakage hides in the purchase history: the same part bought under different codes and descriptions, from different vendors and sites, at different prices. Raven's agents match last year's PO lines through the cleaned catalogue and list each part's buys side by side, with the POs attached.
| Part | POs | Prices |
|---|---|---|
| Gasket, spiral wound 6″ | PO-8812 · PO-9107 · PO-9311 | 9.80 → 21.50 · 2.2× spread |
| Mech seal 45 mm T-21 | PO-8790 · PO-9040 | consistent |
| Brg 6207-2Z | 4 POs · 3 vendors | one vendor 1.6× high |
Inventory, purchasing, and stores work, on the same model.
Min/max from real consumption
Reorder levels checked against actual consumption and lead-time history; out-of-line values flagged for your planner.
Critical equipment with no spares
Critical equipment holding no spares in stock flagged, and over-stocked non-critical spares alongside.
Where-used across equipment
Every material code shows the equipment it is used on, so interchangeable spares show up and stock levels can be set on shared usage.
PRs checked before they are raised
New purchase requests checked against the BOM specification, so the wrong part is caught before the order goes out.
Warranty claims from the records
Repairs done at cost on equipment still under warranty, flagged from the purchase and repair records with the claim evidence attached.
Last-time-buy alerts
Parts the OEM has discontinued, flagged from supersession records while a last order can still be placed.
Photo to material code
A photo of a part or its nameplate matched to its material code and datasheet, for unlabelled parts in stores or worn parts in the field.
Shelf life and preservation
Shelf-life items nearing expiry flagged, along with missed preservation on stored spares.
Non-moving and surplus stock
Non-moving and surplus stock identified, with disposal candidates.
One catalogue across sites
The same part under one code, with stock visible across plants. An emergency spare can come from a sister plant instead of a long OEM lead time.
SPIR processed at handover
SPIR and project spares documentation processed at handover, so new equipment enters the EAM clean.
How a job starts here.
Most plants start with a data quality check. Send a material master export from SAP or Maximo, the stock reports, and a folder of vendor documents. Raven runs the checks and returns one report of everything they find: missing attributes, unit mismatches, duplicate candidates, and equipment with no BOM, with counts and values.
It shows how big the cleanup is and how much money is stuck in it. From there we agree the scope: we do the job for you, or your team does it themselves in Raven. Your engineers approve the result either way.
What to send: Material master export from SAP MM or Maximo (Excel or CSV, all plants), stock on hand by plant, and if you have it, a folder of vendor spare-parts lists or IOM manuals. One plant is enough.
