Enterprise resource management system and method

A computer program product comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising a plurality of process modules for managing resources within a project life cycle associated with a plurality of processes, the computer readable program code, which when loaded and run in a computer processor, causes the processor to:
• provide a project and asset management module for managing at least a plurality of assets and regulating executable work for at least some of the plurality of projects;
• provide a program management module for managing a fully resourced schedule stored on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for at least some of the plurality of projects;
• provide a resource and scheduling module for maintaining a resource database stored on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and scheduling resources for at least some of the plurality of projects;
• provide a planning and reporting module for planning and reporting upon at least some of the plurality of projects;
• provide an engineering design module for designing at least some of the plurality of projects;
• provide an interface module that uses at least one processor to interface at least two of the plurality of modules to define at least one project work item in the project life cycle, and to maintain a schedule of the least one project work item during the project life cycle;
• and
• wherein the least one project work item is automatically scheduled within the resource and scheduling module.

An enterprise resources management system, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium in data communication with the processor, the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including a plurality of process modules executable by the processor, and configured to:
• manage resources within a project life cycle associated with a plurality of processes by performing the steps executable by the processor comprising:
• providing a project and asset management module for managing at least a plurality of assets and regulating executable work for at least some of the plurality of projects;
• providing a program management module for managing a fully resourced schedule stored on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for at least some of the plurality of projects;
• providing a resource and scheduling module for maintaining a resource database stored on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and scheduling resources for at least some of the plurality of projects;
• providing a planning and reporting module for planning and reporting upon at least some of the plurality of projects;
• providing an engineering design module for designing at least some of the plurality of projects;
• providing an interface module that uses the at least one processor to interface at least two of the plurality of modules to define at least one project work item in the project life cycle, and to maintain a schedule of the least one project work item during the project life cycle;
• and
• wherein the least one project work item is automatically scheduled within the resource and scheduling module
