IFS Applications gives oil & gas industry suppliers a standard, integrated solution for discrete manufacture of equipment and systems. With the complete product and project lifecycle in focus—from design and mixed-mode manufacturing to after-sales support—IFS Applications helps you manage all the business-critical processes found within today’s global enterprise.
Oil & gas industry suppliers want to shorten lead times and drive product innovation. IFS Applications gives you what’s needed to support product lifecycles, from concept development through engineering, manufacturing, service and after-sales support. Product information is available to those who need it, when they need it.
With comprehensive product-data management, real two-way CAD integrations, and integrated document management, IFS Applications efficiently supports your engineering and design processes. Working in a single system, electrical, mechanical and structural engineers share information, no matter what design tools are used. This encourages collaboration, removes approval-cycle bottlenecks by putting all relevant information at managers’ fingertips, and streamlines document review.
In IFS Applications, costs and revenues are budgeted, tracked and compared—not only in general ledger but project-by-project. This ensures real-time follow-up and tracking of incurred and actual costs, with reliable forecasting, both detailed and overall, based on the EV principles, including ETC, EAC and S-curve. Managers look at near real-time project data and future performance projections, rather than just being presented—after the fact—with budget, schedule and specification results. IFS Applications helps you manage the future, not just the past.
