Hi Maximo community,

With the release of MAS 9.1 and the new Asset Investment Planning (AIP) functionality, I've been exploring how and when to implement this capability for clients.

One dilemma keeps coming up:

Should you wait until your asset and work order data is fully clean - or can you already start optimizing with limited input?

In my experience, a pragmatic approach works best:

• Start with a small, focused pilot where data is relatively complete

• Use early results to demonstrate value

• Let the insights from AIP drive the data quality conversation

But of course, AIP heavily relies on structured asset hierarchies and cost history. In the wrong context, it could lead to misleading conclusions.

I'm curious:
How have you approached AIP implementation in real-world situations?

• What level of data completeness did you require?

• Did you use it as a tool to improve data quality itself?

• Any tips or lessons learned?

Looking forward to your thoughts.

Best,
Stefan
