Are asset driven cost savings a strategy in your game plan ?
4Site Solutions for Power Producers
While world-wide demand for power is steadily increasing, economic turmoil, highly volatile resource prices and continued uncertainty make life interesting for power generation companies. And, like any business today, power generation enterprises must address exacting financial regulations and growing exposure to high-profile environmental, social and safety factors.
As the urgent need for long-term power supply resources converges with environmental and safety compliance requirements, power generation enterprises also face tough, costly decisions to repair or replace aging assets. Success in this dynamic global business environment comes from a focus on innovation and quality.
Strategic asset management can offer a route to prolonging asset life, containing costs and managing a key part of the regulatory compliance puzzle. The 4Site enterprise asset maintenance (EAM) solution gives power generation enterprises a full suite of integrated asset maintenance and financial management tools to support revenue-driving asset performance and continuous power generation.
Generate Maximum Asset Performance
Because power generation is all about producing reliable levels of energy, hour after hour, day after day, equipment reliability is possibly the single most important factor in successful plant operation. With the 4Site computer managed maintenance system (CMMS), power providers can keep plant and equipment performing reliably, while making the most of planned outages and preventive maintenance (PM) activities:
Increase reliability and asset life with robust preventive/predictive maintenance (PM) programs and reliability centered maintenance (RCM)
Keep facilities and equipment operating at peak levels; improve resource utilization
Manage planned outages through effective project plans, monitoring outage progress and controlling costs
Consolidate tasks for functionally related equipment and efficient deployment of technicians
Minimize the outage period while performing all necessary inspections and upgrades
Improve Productivity and Control Costs
Integrated maintenance, purchasing and inventory management functions help ensure cost control; integration with 4Site's accounting and financials means that financial data is always current and accurate:
Confine costs and ensure accurate reporting with integrated project management, asset maintenance, MRO purchasing and inventory, and financial capabilities
Reduce maintenance expense with comprehensive contractor management capabilities
Manage assets across distributed operations; across the board multi-company processing
Consolidate inventory to increase purchasing power and reduce warehousing costs
Manage maintenance and disposition of acquired or reorganized assets
Streamline and automate processes; improve accuracy and eliminate duplication
Leverage mobile capabilities for point-of-performance information entry, greater accuracy and productivity
Manage Regulatory Compliance
Meeting regulatory mandates requires secure data, comprehensive documentation and diligent oversight for audit and information enquiries. 4Site provides robust financial and accounting capabilities that ensure data integrity, accurate corporate reporting and compliance with financial regulations.
With advanced capabilities to support PM and RCM, as well as safety measures embedded in the MRO purchasing and inventory modules, 4Site also helps ensure compliance with worker safety and environmental sustainability mandates.
4Site keeps power generation enterprises compliant:
Satisfy organizational, investor and regulatory requirements with appropriate information gathering, analysis and financial statements
Ensure data integrity and security with role-based access and automated processes
Ensure worker safety with reliable equipment, careful handling of hazardous materials and well-defined safety procedures
Protect the community and environment by avoiding incidents and managing proper handling of hazardous materials
