The customer challenge

  • PSA is using IBM MAXIMO since 10+ years, to handle terminal critical asset life-cycle management, integrating operations with the ORACLE ERP for the supply chain
  • The growing volume of asset and WOs, in conjunction with the global innovation objectives, is requiring a more reactive, agile and consistent management of the inventory transactions
  • Main expectations regard some constraints around spare parts related operations, as:
    • Master data quality
    • Physical balance data consistency
    • Updates punctuality
    • "sure" traceability of the operators' tasks (above all if external)

The adopted solution

The solution has been based on Omninecs MaxApps+, the app mobile suite designed around Maximo.

  • Specifically, PSA has adopted:
    • InvIssue+ (spare parts issues)
    • InvReturn+ (spare parts returns)
    • InvAdj+ (spot adjustments)
    • InvRecp+ (recepits on PO)
    • InvFull+ (general physical adj)

It has been introduced a dedicated "post- physical adjustments" report, in order to facilitate central consolidation checks and alignments.

The benefits achieved

  • Full "field" digitalization, with execution acceleration and significant reduction of the admin tasks previously required  to the Inventory operators and managers.
  • Sensible data quality increase, with almost complete elimination of reworks and data errors fixing
  • Sensible reduction of the incongruencies between "physical" and "fiscal" balances, with general adjustments process streamlining
  • Inventory transaction real-time availability, with reduction of the "waiting for materials" situations delaying WOs.
  • Higher involvement and "sense of responsibility" by the operators (above all external)
