This helps Platte River manage their inventory and purchasing activities, improve productivity, and contain costs across their entire asset base.
Platte River is also using the Avantis VIP Advanced Scheduling module.
VIP Advanced Scheduling combines into one management display all information about the availability of people, materials and equipment.
Work project assignments throughout the Platte River generating and distribution networks are automated and maintained using this capability.
The Avantis.PRO application allows any level of facility, process, machine, vehicle, material, service part, work order or other element to be defined as an "entity" that can be tracked, maintained and costed using a variety of stand-alone or roll-up relationships for more timely and effective asset maintenance management.
This allows Platte River to build detailed equipment histories, control its procurement activity, define work management schedules, and develop information for audit and safety documentation.
"With the information from Avantis.PRO software, we have a greater ability to reduce the cost of inventory and maintenance and have achieved more efficient procurement," said Tom Iwanski, information technology manager at Platte River: "Now we have a pro-active preventative maintenance and procurement strategy that helps us optimise our investments".
Invensys implemented the Avantis enterprise asset management solutions using the proven InRIM (Industrial Rapid Implementation Methodology) approach.
Based on industry best practices, InRIM is a component-structured, repeatable deployment methodology that assures low risk implementation without compromising the on-going evolution and continued growth of the solution.
