OVERVIEW

Information management (IM) solutions are developed to drive inefficiencies and inadequate processes out of the process industry supply chains by providing early visibility of quality, fully validated information - Supply Chain Content, to all parties in the plant life cycle.

An IM solution improves information on existing facilities to give a true picture of the physical plant configuration, linked through the bill of materials to inventory spares, and maintains the quality of supply chain information throughout the life of the plant. A correctly applied solution accelerates facility start-up, minimises capital expenditure on inventory, and delivers major improvements in procurement, operations and maintenance that maximise the owner’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) investment.

A solution recognizes that the supply chain involved in the creation, supply and maintenance of the parts and equipment that Operators use in day-to-day plant activities is complex and multi-faceted due to its many participants – Engineering, Procurement and Construction Contractors (EPCs), manufacturers, suppliers and sub-suppliers – and its hierarchical nature. The latest options of IM solution provides a web-based collaborative environment for gathering, improving and delivering supply chain information for projects, and the maintenance of the information throughout the life cycle of operational facilities.

The talk will also present an IM solution includes a ready to use library of parts, equipment and standard documentation from over 2,000 manufacturers, already captured and validated using a standardised classification scheme. It provides a unique ongoing vendor data gathering service to augment the contents by collecting further data from manufacturers and suppliers as required.
