| ICAM-PTO is an ELS (Equipment Logistic System) designed specifically to support Port and Terminal Operations. |
| This provides key managers the visibility required to measure, control, execute and manage the entire engineering and support activity. |

Port Volume (TEUs/Tonnes)

Equipment Requirements
|
- Maintenance Planning, Scheduling and Work Execution
- Repair Items, Part Kits and Bill of Materials
- Procurement, Supplier Performance and Warranty
- Cost of OwnerShip (Lifecycle)
- Links To other Critical Systems: Finance/Accounting, CMS, Yard management, etc.

| Activity Based Maintenance |
Superior Functionality |
| Most conventional Maintenance Management Systems do an adequate job for work scheduling if calendar based. These are normally used in a manufacturing environment where demand on the equipment is stable. A port is at best an unstable demand activity and scheduling is best managed based on use or events: run hours, kilometers, lifts, twistlock cycles, etc. |
CMMS's in general have limited functionality in their Storeroom, Procurement, and Support modules. Some ports have attempted to install Enterprise Solutions. Beyond the very high cost and long implementation period, other conflicts in design soon start to surface. |
| Port Specific Solution |
Maintenance Cost versus Risk |
| Most top tier Enterprise Systems were designed for companies involved in complex manufacturing or warehousing/distribution activities. What results is a design better suited for building cranes, yard tractors, etc., or reselling repair items to other ports. Neither really suits the mission. |
ICAM-PTO's ELS design supports a very simple yet very powerful premise, that is: An Engineering System designed to produce the capacity that is needed to move the goods/containers at the lowest possible cost and within acceptable risk. |
