Integrate information to improve decision making
Most chemicals and petroleum companies gather considerable data
about operations and maintenance at their plants. But much of
this information is stored in multiple computer systems and
diverse media, making it difficult to streamline production,
lower operating costs or transfer best practices from plant
to plant. Document-based systems and inefficient processes
limit asset optimisation and lead to higher lifecycle costs.
IBM can help you apply innovative business processes to improve
collaboration and knowledge sharing throughout the value chain.
Extract value from the information your employees possess. Capture
best practices and replicate them across multiple projects and
plants to improve overall operational performance. Collaborate
more effectively with suppliers and partners to reach new levels
of efficiency.
IBM has the experience to help you choose the right PLM tools
to support innovation and improve decision making. Utilise innovative
plant designs to optimise systems and maximise productivity.
Improve the design of offshore facilities for exploration and
extraction—build floating oil platforms to explore and
extract from deep water fields. Implement data management tools
to enhance asset tracking and management across the supply chain.
We can also help you meet the challenge of integrating plant
floor systems with business systems. With the right PLM infrastructure,
engineers and plant designers can gain access to operations
data that could help them make better decisions. And business
staff can use engineering and manufacturing data to help with
forecasting and planning.
