A steel company achieves higher asset uptime and increased wrench time with an advanced maintenance planning board

About Client

The client is a large steel plant based out of India.

Business Scenario

Before partnering with Maventic, the client was already extensively using S/4HANA, homegrown mobile applications, and SAP PM. However, they were looking for a solution to ease the planners' work so they could make timely decisions to quicken the turnaround on maintenance activities and increase uptime.

Challenges

The key challenges the customer faced included:

  • Lack of agility and dynamism as the planners had no real-time information.
  • MTTR was constantly higher than the target.
  • Lower than expected turnaround time.

The client’s business processes needed major customizations to ease the planning process. 

Solution

After evaluating a few SAP solutions, they selected Maventic’s Massetic solution, SEAM4, for their planners and supervisors. 

The key reasons the customer chose Massetic solutions were:

  • Developed within SAP using SAP UI5 and on top of SAP PM.
  • Interacts with other modules like MM and HR seamlessly.
  • A powerful Gantt Chart for the planning and execution cycle
  • Various reports help during planning, execution, and post-execution.

Benefits

With the solution, the client can now:

  • Increase wrench time
  • Increase MTTR
  • Achieve a faster turnaround time
