IFS is the only broad enterprise asset management (EAM) and resources planning (ERP) suite vendor whose origins lie in development of an asset-management solution for utilities. Energy and utilities remains an IFS primary segment, with best-practices solutions implemented globally. These include for some of the world’s largest power-generation projects, national-grid corporations, nuclear-power plants and multi-national generation, transmission and distribution companies. Thereby, IFS Applications supports enterprise-asset infrastructures critical to quality of life for millions.
ENTERPRISE ASSET MANAGEMENT: maximize uptime, minimize lifecycle costs
The only EAM solution fully integrated with financials, human resources and project management capabilities, IFS Applications is a solution for all asset lifecycle phases, and supports predictive maintenance, reliability-centered maintenance, overall equipment efficiency (OEE) and maintenance repair and overhaul.
Enterprise asset management delivers corporate, multi-site views of operations and maintenance. Collaborative, real-time information sharing helps avoid equipment downtime, extend asset life, reduce service and repair costs and maximize time to value.
ASSET-DESIGN, CAPITAL-PROJECTS MANAGEMENT
The energy and utilities industries’ on-going capital-construction investments highlight information management issues. Tremendous expense follows from having stove-piped systems for tracking project stages. IFS Applications serves as the system of record – from planning, design and construction to operations and maintenance, furnishing stakeholders with consistent, accurate information.
SUPPLY-CHAIN, SPARE-PARTS SECURITY & SERVICES
Integrated supply chain management of procurements, inventory and vendors means better availability of goods and services associated with forecasts of planned and unplanned work. IFS was early in developing capabilities to manage third-party service providers as an integral part of the utility enterprise.
