Efficient Root Cause Analysis with SAP PM – Smartly Integrated in the argvis Maintenance Portal**

In many companies, maintenance ends after a fault has been resolved. But this is precisely where the crucial step toward sustainable optimization begins: structured root cause analysis. With our solution in the argvis Maintenance Portal, we enable precisely this – seamlessly integrated into SAP PM and intuitively usable on mobile devices or the web.

Our root cause analysis builds directly on existing maintenance processes and utilizes standard SAP objects such as notifications, orders, or damage patterns. Users systematically record causes and actions – guided by smart selection lists, check logic, and tried-and-tested templates. The system remains flexible: Custom analysis models such as 5-Why or Ishikawa can be integrated without the need for complex SAP customization measures.

The database creates transparency about recurring faults, typical weak points, and potential for improvement – visualized in the portal via clear dashboards or exported for further processing. This turns every maintenance measure into an opportunity for continuous improvement.

Particularly noteworthy: The solution is ready to use right away, as it is based on the standard functions of SAP PM and requires no additional back-end development. At the same time, it remains mobile, offline-capable, and easy to use – a real advantage for on-site maintenance staff.

With the argvis Maintenance Portal, root cause analysis becomes an integrated part of maintenance – for fewer downtimes, lower costs, and increased plant availability.
