Systems and techniques for ensuring the integrity of enterprise asset management data

A system for ensuring the integrity of enterprise asset management data, the system comprising:

• a computer readable storage media;
• an enterprise asset management data store contained on the computer readable storage media, the enterprise asset management data store comprising an enterprise asset management data entity of an entity type selected from the group consisting of:
• an equipment entity type;
• a functional location entity type;
• an MRO bill of material entity type;
• a work center entity type;
• a catalog entity type;
• a maintenance item entity type;
• a maintenance plan entity type;
• a measuring points entity type;
• a production resource/tool entity type;
• and
• a task list entity type;
• program instructions stored on the computer readable storage media that, when executed by a processing system, direct the processing system to:
• receive, from a requester work queue having a requester role, an update request for a change to a particular enterprise asset data element, wherein the change is stored in a temporary data repository;
• route the update request to one or more specialist work queue, each of the one or more specialist work queue having a specialist role and a first set of update validation rules for validating the update request, and
• when the update request violates a subset of the first set of update validation rules, modify the update request or return the update request to the requester work queue, and
• when the update request conforms with all of the first set of update validation rules, route the update request to one or more steward work queue, each of the one or more steward work queue having a steward role and a second set of update validation rules for validating the update request, and
• when the update request violates a subset of the second set of update validation rules, return the update request to a prior work queue, and
• when the update request conforms with all of the second set of update validation rules, route the update request to a backend processing work queue, the backend processing work queue having a backend processing authorization role, and update the enterprise asset management data store with the change.
