Availability, cost control and project execution are the cornerstones of profitability in the asset-intensive industry. IFS’ unique combination of integrated EAM, ERP and project management software has helped our customers increase profitability over the 30 years we have been involved in the industry.
EFFECTIVE ASSET LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT INCREASES ROI
Investment and maintenance strategies always need to be balanced against an asset’s capacity utilisation, i.e. costs must be balanced against revenue or revenue potential
OPTIMISE ASSET EFFECTIVENESS
IFS OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is fully integrated with the maintenance software and specially adapted mainly for operators, but also for other interested parties. This creates the pre-requisites for directing all decisions toward optimal asset effectiveness – at the right price.
REDUCE LEAD TIME IN YOUR CAPITAL PROJECTS
The asset intensive industry is also project-intensive. Projects of various sizes are always in progress, working continuously to improve processes. The combination of asset design and project management supports project management, execution and control in real time while fully supporting quality-assured management of asset information. This is a pre-requisite for problem-free operations after new assets go live.
OPTIMISE YOUR SPARE PARTS INVENTORY
Optimising the spare parts inventory in capital-intensive industries always entails establishing a balance between warehousing costs and the costs and consequences of not having the parts required, e.g. complete stoppage. IFS Applications supports strategic planning for the entire supply chain process, consolidating agreements and procurement of parts and services.
GLOBALISATION
Wherever you operate, the multi-site, multi-language, multi-currency capabilities of IFS Applications ensure that your customers feel they are dealing with one company, with standard, unvarying quality of performance and delivery. And as you grow, IFS Applications lets you quickly integrate the new entities, reducing time to value and helping them contribute to ROI as fast as possible.
The Three Gorges Project is the largest water conservation project in the world. It is located on the Yangtze River in Hubei province, central China. The project is aimed at improving flood control, producing electricity, and improving navigability on the river. Upon completion, Three Gorges will be the largest hydropower plant in the world, with a total installed capacity of 18,200 MW and an annual output of nearly 84.7 billion kWh. By October 2004, ten of the 26 units have already been put into operation.
An advanced ERP platform was necessary for us to manage the vast amounts of equipment and documentation with as few employees as possible. The rich functionality provided by IFS made them the only ERP vendor that could satisfy our rigourous requirements.
