Business benefits
| Features | Advantages | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Commitment Tracking | Identifies and tracks commitments made to external or internal bodies, and tracks progress against commitment(s) where action is required. Enhancements allow for review and comment capture as part of commitment tracking process. | Nuclear organizations often make commitments to internal and external bodies to satisfy a business or regulatory demand. A mechanism is required to track commitments and the status of related work (corrective, capital, etc). |
| Surveillance Testing | Captures technical specification directives to drive regulatory related asset testing with associated frequencies, and grace periods. Enhancements allow for additional capture / visibility of key data elements such as PRA and GRA values. | Organizations require licenses to operate nuclear facilities. Licenses specify tests that must occur to verify the safe operation of the facility. Organizations require a capability to specify, schedule, track, and perform these “tests” to maintain a license. |
| Calibration / Measurement & Test Equipment | Supports end-to-end calibration process for I&C and measurement and test equipment via proactive management of tolerances, standards, analog / discrete datasheets, pre and post spot checks, and reverse traceability. | In addition to the tests specified by the license, organizations must consistently test and calibrate assets that are used as measurement devices (tools and I&C) – this is a safety critical function within any nuclear organization. |
| Vendor Qualifications | Multiple enhancements to enable identification of vendors providing quality level items, along with QA audit dates and expirations to drive vendor management processes. Vendor status enables inventory / procurement managers to drive spend via an evaluated supplier list. | Many of the materials and services procured and used within a nuclear operation require vendors to meet certain qualifications and tests that range from material quality to payment terms. Organizations require support for a process that stretches from work planning to materials management to procurement and vendor management. |
| PM Sequencing | Major enhancement to surveillance testing to enable work planners and schedulers to link, or stagger surveillance tests within or across units. | Many of the licensing or surveillance tests require accurate staggering across multiple assets or units within a nuclear station. This is for efficiency and safety purposes. |
| Equipment Reliability | Captures data elements to support equipment reliability analysis and asset related decision making; PRA and GRA values, Maintenance Rule identifier, Tech Spec identifier, Asset Quality level, etc… | Always a high priority within any nuclear organization, equipment reliability is a complex operation that relies on many static and dynamic data elements that drive preventive and corrective action. |
IBM Maximo for Nuclear Power manages the life cycle of assets across nuclear plants and fleets by streamlining and automating key asset management processes.
