Maintenance Chain Management Framework: Improving Asset Data Across the Lifecycle

Written by Vitalii Yeliashevskyi

Your CMMS Isn’t the Problem. Your Asset Data Is. Introducing Maintenance Chain Management

After 18 years in the industry, Keel has observed the same pattern with nearly every client: companies invest in advanced CMMS products, analytical systems, and now AI, often believing that the “solution” will solve all problems. Yet a fundamental issue persists – unreliable asset data. Bad data leads to huge costs, delays, and poor decisions. It acts like a Gremlin in the organization, undermining efficiency, demotivating personnel, and inflating costs.

Keel is proud to introduce Maintenance Chain Management (MCM). Not a solution, not a software. MCM is a framework of information and best practices in asset data management. Based on our extensive experience, it is designed to show organizations why they face data challenges, how to address them, when to collect data, and which data is critical at each stage of the asset lifecycle.

The integrity of data comes from people, not from software solutions.

While industry standards such as ISO 5500x and IAM SG 22, 23, 25 guide the modern maintenance and asset management core, the data, MCM emphasizes practical application in areas including:

• Asset documentation management
• Equipment identification and asset register management
• Data collection, transfer, extraction, transformation, and contextualization
• Maintenance and inspection activity management
• Materials, spare parts, and bill-of-materials management
• Management of personnel skills, both soft and technical

This methodology empowers personnel to manage data assets effectively. Consequently, any investment in CMMS, analytics, or AI can deliver immediate results without hidden costs associated with ongoing data correction and cleaning.

More insights will be shared in an upcoming series of our blog posts.
