Client

A French industrial conglomerate with a sprawling network of companies, more than 150 years of legacy, operations in 90+ countries, and products distributed across 180+ countries.

Requirement

Their cloud based SaaS ERP solution lacked customisation capabilities and this posed serious work inefficiencies, erratic workflow management, audit compliance issues, tracking hassles, and a lack of central documentation.

Role

To offer a comprehensive, highly functioning tour management software to overcome existing challenges, eliminate inefficiencies, and achieve stellar operational excellence.

Challenges

Highly inefficient manual plant tour resulted in the following challenges:

Highly inefficient and clumsy paper-based processes

A plant head and plant manager maintained a paper-based checklist regarding all assets and its status on a daily basis. Generating comprehensive graphical reports was a challenge.

Heavily reliant on excel sheet

Manually collecting all data and creating excel was a labor-intensive task, and error-prone. Resources were solely allocated for the purpose.

Lack of digital collaboration

No interdepartmental collaboration was feasible with inefficient paper-based reporting. Also maintaining legacy documents was a hassle.

Lack of proper performance visualization

Data scattered across various excel sheets and manual records. Getting a comprehensive view of performance parameters was near impossible.

No Historical Analysis

Manual record keeping hindered historical analysis.

Solution

A sharepoint based plant tour management system automated the process. Key Features of Plant Tour Management Solution are:

01

Digital customizable checklist

Create and manage easy to customize digital checklists for each department/equipment/process with real-time accurate updates regarding latest compliance regulations and operational requirements.

02

Mobile Accessibility

Give plant personnel the flexibility and choice to access and execute inspection using smartphones/tablets via a smart mobile app. With offline mode capability, checklist completion is not internet-dependent. All data will be updated as soon as connectivity is available.

03

Automatic data capture

IoT devices and sensors allow automatic capture of critical data like temperature, pressure, vibration levels, etc. Using QR scan/barcode equipment-specific checklists and history can be easily and quickly accessed.

04

Task allocation and scheduling

Automated task allocation, schedule management for regular inspections on the basis of usage metrics can be executed with ease.Specific tasks can be assigned to appropriate personnel on the basis of roles and expertise. The option to raise observations is handy as well.

05

Real-time alerts

A powerful centralized dashboard to monitor real-time alerts on inspection status, compliance and other maintenance requirements. Generating alerts for pending tasks, abnormal activities or readings, and other critical issues that require immediate attention and redressal action.

06

Reports and analytics

Generate detailed reports on inspection readings, compliance status, maintenance activities. Analyze historical data to identify trends, forecast any impending issues or anomalies, and optimize maintenance activities accordingly.

07

Compliance and documentation

Maintain detailed audit trails of all inspections and other maintenance operations is very handy for compliance. A centralized system will help plant personnel to document reports, compliance certificates, and other maintenance records.
