When a major maintenance, inspection, or clean up initiative forces a production line or plant to be shut down, you have no time to waste. Every day of lost production can cost hundreds of thousands, and in some cases millions, of dollars. Impress for Projects helps you maintain tight project control by integrating the systems that manage plant shutdown project data (ERP’s work management module and project scheduling tool). It streamlines the plant turnaround planning and scheduling process, delivers key information to planners and schedulers in their preferred working environment, and maintains an accurate and real-time picture of performance in both systems throughout the project.
Impress for Projects helps you complete complex maintenance initiatives on time and on budget by allowing you to:
- Accelerate the planning process by transferring initial project data from ERP
- Optimize the schedule using resource and material constraints defined in ERP
- Eliminate manual data-entry required to keep both systems in synch, which is not only costly and time consuming but also quickly outdated
- Improve business decisions by keeping performance information synchronized during project execution
- Save substantial shutdown time by sending project adjustments, such as incidental work orders, to the project management system for immediate action
