To the regional divisions of the construction company and putting the system into production operation.
Cause and effect
Dynamic business growth has made factors that make it difficult to effectively manage fixed assets more visible. In particular, the Central Office lacked operational reliable data on the technical condition, maintenance costs, fuel consumption, actual use and location of fixed assets. The need for construction machinery and mechanisms was identified immediately before the start of work. The lack of a unified automated system for managing maintenance, repairs and operation led to long periods of approval of requests for operations with fixed assets, which, in turn, caused a decrease in the efficiency of equipment use. In addition, an automated system was needed in order to increase the level of justification for investments in construction machinery and mechanisms, and to analyze the feasibility of leasing equipment.
In September 2011, the company formulated the goals and objectives of automating all maintenance and repair business processes. According to them, the automated control system should provide the Central Office of JSC RZDstroy with a tool for monitoring and motivating personnel to more intensively use their own fleet of construction machines and mechanisms, and perform a larger volume of work on their own. It was necessary to ensure the validity of investments in the acquisition of equipment, its rental and MRO (maintenance and repair) work. It was also necessary to introduce a system of object-by-object cost accounting for maintenance, operation, and MRO in order to more effectively manage the cost of ownership of fixed assets.
Choice
The choice of IBS as a partner for the development and implementation of the system was made due to the unique expertise possessed by the IBS team. IBS specialists have an extensive portfolio of projects in the field of automation of fixed asset management processes and were able to offer the customer a full range of services, including certification of fixed assets, regulation of key operations and processes.
The IBM Maximo solution with the Transportation functional module, which IBS specialists implemented for the first time in Russia, was chosen as a platform for creating an automated maintenance and management system.
To implement the project, an automation strategy and work program have been developed. The contractor's team regulated the management of maintenance, repair and operation of fixed assets: construction machinery and mechanisms, production equipment, power equipment, transport, small-scale mechanization, real estate in the form of land, buildings and structures.
Project
After the successful implementation of the automated maintenance and repair system in the pilot trust, in April 2012 the system began to be replicated to all divisions of JSC RZDstroy. As a result, the automated system covered the Central Office of JSC RZDstroy in Moscow, 19 construction and installation trusts, as well as 70 construction and installation trains (which are structural divisions of the trusts) operating throughout the country.
The introduction of an automated maintenance and control system made it possible to conduct an in-depth analysis of the structure and condition of fixed assets, which made it possible to formulate a more justified investment program. Control and transparency of MRO costs ensured both a reduction in unreasonable costs and an increase in the operational readiness of fixed assets. The result of implementation is an increase in the efficiency of distribution of equipment between construction sites, structural divisions, trusts, an increase in the intensity of use of equipment, and, consequently, an increase in the volume of construction and installation work performed.
Sergey Merkulov, First Deputy General Director of IBS, noted: “The basis for the implementation of this project was the experience of our team in automating the management of fixed assets in a number of the largest companies in Russia. We are glad that we were able to apply our expertise to such a large-scale project and introduce an automated system that helps improve the efficiency of railway construction carried out by JSC RZDstroy throughout the country.”
Malykhina Lyubov Vasilievna, Deputy General Director for Production of JSC RZDstroy, emphasized: “As a result of the implementation of automated maintenance and management systems, we managed to achieve the main goal - to increase the efficiency of management of fixed assets in all trusts of the Company, from Kaliningrad to Kamchatka. JSC "RZDstroy" received an effective tool for monitoring used and rented equipment, managing movable and immovable property, and the level of justification for investments has been increased. We thank our partner, IBS Group, for the successful implementation of the project.”
- Nikolai Fedorovich, please outline the essence of the project in a popular way.
All activities of any station can be divided into two parts - operation (delivery of commercial products in the form of electricity and heat) and the processes that ensure it. In terms of operation, TGK-1 has long been implementing automated process control systems (APCS), but in terms of managing supporting processes, there was nothing like this in the Russian energy industry before MAXIMO. Purely physically, MAXIMO is a database management system, of which there are about 300. For example, the equipment database, which includes all the “nuts and bolts”, contains myriads of units, the spare parts database - hundreds of thousands, the personnel base (both our own and contractors) - tens of thousands…
The advantage of the system is that all heterogeneous information about an asset, for example, about a specific pump, is brought together and adapted for perception. MAXIMO monitors the condition of this pump or any other unit throughout its entire life cycle - from the beginning of design to scrapping. And it is impossible to delete information from the system. She remembers all the actions related to the asset - how long the unit worked and in what modes, how many times it stopped and how many starts were made, who, when and what repair work was carried out. It allows you to determine whether it requires replacement or service life extension. Or identify the cause of the defect - that first domino that fell, causing a chain reaction...
The most interested link in the implementation of MAXIMO is the operational shift staff. It used to be like this: you make an entry in the defect log, and the defect hangs for a month, two, six months... For example, as soon as there was a leak, it remained so. People gave up.
“Why should I write in a magazine in vain?” - they reasoned. And in MAXIMO, any entry, any fixation of a defect triggers a standard process: try not to respond within the established time limit - immediately a red line appears on the computer screen with an alarm entry “time violated” and does not disappear anywhere.
The lower management level “suffered the most” from this. Previously, its representatives often reasoned like this: I fixed the defect, and they will get around to it in the summer... Maybe. And now, whether you like it or not, you will have to take some action. The shift receives a quick response to its comments. This encourages the operational staff.
Another reality
In order for the system to work effectively, do employees need to enter all their actions into the computer?
Yes. But the system does not at all contradict the current work of the staff. Today we have about 40 documents on shift that accompany operational (and other) activities. On the shift manager’s desk there should be an operational log, a defect log, a work log, a log of local and a log of dispatch requests and much more... But if all these documents are maintained electronically within the framework of MAXIMO, the efficiency of work will only increase, and the number waste paper will be reduced sharply. At the first stage of operating MAXIMO, we clearly understood: our employees can and want to work with such a system. The load on them has increased slightly. They do everything the same, but just in a different INFORMATION ENVIRONMENT. It would seem a small nuance, but extremely important.
- Is MAXIMO at Pravoberezhnaya CHPP different from its Finnish counterparts?
Such a system as we have built does not yet exist in Finland itself. The Finns offered us their most advanced ideas. So, compared to our system, the Finnish analogues, paradoxically, are somewhat outdated.
SAP and MAXIMO are not competitors
- When will the system be fully implemented at Pravoberezhnaya CHPP?
In about a year. Although, as we know, there are no limits to perfection. MAXIMO allows you to do a lot. But do we need everything? The system has about 120 modules. We use about 30, and in the future we will use about 50. That is, less than half of the system’s capabilities. Whether it is worth developing full functionality is a big question. For example, if SUPIZ is currently working, there is no need to replace it. It is better to connect to it and use its capabilities. Fortunately, MAXIMO is an open source system and can be integrated with anything, unlike, for example, the German SAP, which needs to be reprogrammed for every movement. MAXIMO is an advanced WEB technology, all work is done on central servers. End users do not have client software, they only need a communication channel to the central server and a shortcut with its address. And given the geography of TGC-1 facilities, try using other technologies to switch to new version systems.
-How do you think these two systems could ideally be combined in TGK-1?
Movement of physical components - MAXIMO, movement of financial flows - SAP. Warehouses - MAXIMO, orders, purchases - SAP. It’s not SAP’s job to tinker with nuts, bolts, and hardware. MAXIMO does this perfectly. Based on this, it makes sense to implement MAXIMO at the station level, and SAP at the branch level.

A renowned provider of consulting services and software for maintenance and asset management. Its clients include many of the world's largest enterprises that use MRO solutions to effectively manage the procurement, storage and decommissioning of assets (manufacturing equipment, plants, vehicles, IT software and hardware) in various industries such as manufacturing, utilities , electric power, pharmaceuticals and communications.
MRO Software is one of the veterans of the computer industry. It was founded in 1968 (first under the name PSDI) and has since been headquartered in Bedford, Massachusetts, USA. Its key product is Maximo, a strategic asset and service management software system that can be used in conjunction with various ERP systems. Maximo software works with a variety of databases, including Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and IBM DB2. Latest version Maximo 6 (also known as MXES) is implemented on the J2EE platform as an SOA solution (the Web-based version of this software first appeared in previous version, Maximo 5).
During 2007, IBM completed the integration of the acquired software into its software family. The program, called IBM Maximo, is now being developed as part of the IBM Tivoli software development line.
Key features of the Maximo package
The Maximo system is aimed at supporting the entire complex of enterprise assets throughout the life cycle of its operation and links asset management with the overall business strategy, solving the following main tasks:
- increase in capital productivity;
- reducing the cost of acquiring and using assets;
- making more informed decisions regarding assets;
- increasing the level of services provided;
- ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements;
- increasing staff productivity;
- improving business flexibility;
- reduction in the total cost of asset ownership.
The software is implemented in the form of a Maximo Enterprise Suite package, consisting of six key subsystems that allow you to successfully manage existing assets (including production facilities, buildings and structures, vehicles), works, purchases, services, warehouses and contracts in order to achieve key business goals companies.
A specialized product allows the head of the enterprise, the chief engineer, employees of the Asset repair and maintenance service, employees of all other departments related to the processes of management, repair and maintenance of Assets, can perform their functions more efficiently, reducing the amount of costs for maintenance and repair of the Assets of the enterprise.
Using the system makes it possible to see all the Assets of the enterprise from the inside, see how your equipment and main systems function, see where and by what means you can minimize costs, which prevents an increase in profits and productivity growth. You will be able to quickly receive consolidated information coming from the most remote divisions of the organization and, if necessary, detail this information to the level of Assets, spare parts, materials, exploring and analyzing your business, finding ways and opportunities to improve it and solve existing problems.
Thanks to the MAXIMO system, the level of transparency of your business increases in terms of the main Assets, i.e. business manageability improves.
At the same time, MAXIMO does not require fundamental changes or restructuring of the business and does not replace other specialized applications that the enterprise has (accounting, personnel, etc.). These applications can use information that comes from MAXIMO. MAXIMO expands their functionality, peacefully coexisting with them and fulfilling its goal - increasing the manageability of Assets.
A feature of the MAXIMO system is that it increases the manageability of enterprise assets, while simultaneously reducing the costs of their maintenance. In this regard, MAXIMO allows you to:
From a manager's point of view:
Make correct and timely decisions: on the decommissioning of unprofitable Assets, on the acquisition of new Assets, on the need to modernize and reconstruct existing Assets, on the need to optimize MRO costs, etc.
Managers of many enterprises want to make informed decisions on the decommissioning of a particular Asset due to its unprofitability for the enterprise. Without having all the information about the real state of the Assets at hand, it is difficult to identify problematic, unprofitable Assets and make decisions about their modernization or liquidation.
Thanks to the MAXIMO system, managers have the opportunity to receive information both in the form of reports and in real time about:
- What Assets are available and where are they located?
- Their condition, value and importance to the business?
- What processes and operations are performed with Assets during the life cycle?
- What are the costs of maintaining and repairing the Assets?
- Who is responsible for each of the MRO processes for each type of Asset?
- When should major repairs or replacement of fixed assets be made?
- How well do existing MRO processes meet business goals and market requirements?
- etc.
In addition, MAXIMO allows you to apply modern methods of accounting and writing off costs for repairs and maintenance of enterprise Assets. Costs are written off “addressed” to each Asset of the enterprise, thereby making this process absolutely transparent and justified, allowing you to maintain cost statistics for each Asset.
From the point of view of the head of the maintenance and repair service of enterprise assets, chief engineer, chief technologist.
Monitor and coordinate the performance of equipment maintenance and repair work.
In the process of monitoring and coordinating the repair and maintenance of enterprise Assets, it is extremely important for managers to obtain the information they need with a certain accuracy and within the required time frame. If the process of information support for managers is poorly organized, situations may arise when decisions have to be made almost “blindly”, based on incomplete or untimely information.
MAXIMO provides the opportunity to monitor in real time the implementation of planned and unscheduled work on the provision and repair of enterprise Assets, control costs and quickly make decisions, coordinating the work of the relevant service.
From the point of view of employees of the maintenance and repair service of enterprise assets:
High-quality job planning is simple and convenient.
MAXIMO makes it possible to significantly simplify the planning of work on the prevention and repair of Assets, providing the contractor with all the necessary information and tools.
In this way, two main problems are solved: the costs of planning work are reduced, and the quality of planning increases.
For a long time it was believed that the ratio of planned to unscheduled repairs should not go beyond 90% to 10%. If this ratio was violated and there was an increase in unscheduled repairs, then a revision of the preventive maintenance plan was carried out. In the modern world of the struggle for competitive advantages, it becomes important for enterprises to minimize the level of unscheduled repairs, ideally to 0%, which is realized by improving the quality of work planning.
In addition, with high-quality planning of work, there is no downtime of repair services due to the lack of necessary material or personnel, which, in turn, leads to a reduction in costs.
It can be argued that the higher the quality of planning preventative repairs and preventative work, the fewer Asset breakdowns occur, and the reduction in downtime and equipment failures. Act promptly when problems or malfunctions occur in the operation of enterprise Assets.
In the MAXIMO system, a responsible employee is assigned to each Asset. If a problem arises with any Enterprise Asset, information about this is instantly transmitted to the responsible person and support specialist who can solve (eliminate) this problem. Thus, the response time to an incident is significantly reduced and the downtime of the Asset is reduced. Simplify the processes of interaction and transfer of information to other services that support the process of equipment maintenance and repair: accounting, financial department, human resources department, logistics department, economic department, etc.
From the finance department's point of view:
Timely receipt of correct data and correctly executed financial documents from the places where business transactions are carried out, which significantly reduces the workload of the financial and accounting department of the enterprise, and, accordingly, reduces the costs of restoring and re-issuing documents.
From the point of view of the economic department:
Implement effective accounting of all costs for repair and maintenance of enterprise Assets, which allows you to make costs “transparent” and available for analysis in any aspect. Receive correct data in a timely manner to formulate a budget for the future period, which improves the quality of the created budget and reduces the labor costs of the process of its preparation.
From the point of view of the logistics service:
Receive information and factual data (statistics of breakdowns, failures, difficulty in servicing) about the quality of goods and equipment purchased from suppliers, information about the fulfillment of their obligations by suppliers, data on repairs performed under warranty, etc.
In order to avoid situations when the supply service, due to the lack of necessary information, purchases materials or tools of inappropriate quality or buys them from a supplier who is negligent in its obligations to support the goods, it is convenient to have at hand all the information about the quality of the goods of a particular supplier and the quality of the services they provide.
MAXIMO allows you to quickly obtain information about suppliers and, based on the analysis of this information, make decisions about concluding contracts with them. Thus, the system insures supply service employees against entering into unprofitable deals and reduces maintenance costs through the use of reliable materials, components and tools. Receive timely information about the necessary materials to perform maintenance and repair work on Assets.
With MAXIMO, logistics staff have access to information about planned work and what materials and tools will be needed in the near future. This information allows you to competently plan the work of the supply service (avoid emergency situations and rush), order the necessary materials and tools from suitable suppliers and ensure their availability in the enterprise warehouse by the appointed time.
This ensures cost reduction by eliminating downtime for repair work while waiting for the necessary materials. Optimize warehouse inventory.
Often, enterprise warehouses store a large amount of materials and spare parts that are not in demand by the equipment maintenance and repair service for a long time. Storing such surplus in a company's warehouses can lead to significant increases in costs.
MAXIMO allows you to optimize stocks of spare parts and materials so that they are available at the time of scheduled or unscheduled repairs, but do not accumulate in warehouses and do not lie as “dead weight”.
Reduce prices for the purchase of materials and spare parts through the use of a centralized purchasing service and enlargement of ordered batches of goods.
From a safety engineer's point of view:
Reduce the risks of non-compliance with safety regulations when performing hazardous work.
MAXIMO allows you to inform performers about safety rules when performing hazardous work and the necessary protective equipment. This system function allows you to remove unnecessary workload from the safety engineer and reduce the likelihood of a threat to human life and health.
IBM Maximo Asset Management
IBM Maximo Asset Management is one platform for comprehensive asset management systems. Systems based on it solve a wide range of problems to improve the efficiency of property ownership throughout its entire life cycle, namely: accounting and analysis of real estate operating indicators, reducing the cost of maintenance and repair of equipment and units, as well as ensuring continuity of maintenance and repairs objects of operation.
