Integrate information to improve decision making
Most chemicals and petroleum companies gather considerable data about operations and maintenance at their plants. But much of this information is stored in multiple computer systems and diverse media, making it difficult to streamline production, lower operating costs or transfer best practices from plant to plant. Document-based systems and inefficient processes limit asset optimization and lead to higher lifecycle costs.

IBM can help you apply innovative business processes to improve collaboration and knowledge sharing throughout the value chain. Extract value from the information your employees possess. Capture best practices and replicate them across multiple projects and plants to improve overall operational performance. Collaborate more effectively with suppliers and partners to reach new levels of efficiency.

IBM has the experience to help you choose the right PLM tools to support innovation and improve decision making. Utilize innovative plant designs to optimize systems and maximize productivity. Improve the design of offshore facilities for exploration and extraction—build floating oil platforms to explore and extract from deep water fields. Implement data management tools to enhance asset tracking and management across the supply chain.

We can also help you meet the challenge of integrating plant floor systems with business systems. With the right PLM infrastructure, engineers and plant designers can gain access to operations data that could help them make better decisions. And business staff can use engineering and manufacturing data to help with forecasting and planning.
