Plant & Facilities Document Management:
Features and Benefits

Effective plant & facilities document management can help provide accurate information leading to improved asset performance.

Operations and Maintenance engineers need access to:

  • Currently effective documents and drawings
  • Latest approved and released as-built drawings or "best so far"
  • Currently sanctioned revisions of procedures and policies

Engineering projects (e.g EPCs & A&E firms) may also need access to as-builts for revision or for information. A secure method is required to transfer inforrmation, track submissions and manage complex concurrent engineering requirements.

It is critical that operations & maintenance personnel and engineering projects are working with the correct, validated asset documents and drawings.

Enterprise Engineer for Assets offers a number of ways to help Owner/Operators remain competitive.

Owner/Operator Challenges

Enterprise Engineer Solution

Validation, volume and accessibility of asset related documents
  • Controlled library of asset documents and drawings available to Operations & Maintenance
  • Integration points to EAM systems including Maximo and SAP

Information Handover from Engineering Projects to Operations
  • Built-in best practice approach to manage handover as information becomes available
  • Securely transfer information to and from external parties
  • Validate manufacturing drawings, supplier drawings, vendor documents and associated metadata during handover

Concurrent Engineering Requirements
  • Supports concurrent engineering by allowing multiple projects to work on drawings at the same time
  • Reports and notifications ensure visibility of process and ability to track and monitor work

Controlling asset document change and updates from many sources (field maintenance workers, external design contractors)
  • Built in best practice processes supporting facilities maintenance, repair and operational activities
  • Management of change associated with assets (minor works and major capital projects).
Security Risks
  • Automation of audit records, electronic signatures and document lifecycles.
  • Controlled access to asset documents
