"Maintenance Is A Significant Part Of Business For Ovako Steel – And Idhammmar MMS Was The Natural Choice - Enabling The Sharing Of Information Across Our European Sites, Ensuring Straightforward And Effective Maintenance Practice."

“We wanted to define what information was important to us."

"On average, on a weekly basis there are just under 4000 tests completed by crews across the service. Since Miquest went live, over 2200 defects have been logged on the system, and 31 of these were Near Misses or RIDDOR incidents."

“Using OEE as part of our Operational Excellence Programme is far more than a theoretical exercise. The intelligent functionality of the OEE system highlights losses, drives our improvement agenda and leads to improved effectiveness, a better working environment and savings to the bottom line. Our minimum improvement last year was …

"We chose Idhammar MMS as it offered the complete package which could take care of all aspects of fleet and asset management, as well as being a powerful tool to manage resources and scheduling with the ability to produce business reports to track trends and enforce decision making."

"It’s genuinely surprising, the losses identified would have been unquantifiable without Idhammar OEE, and with the right training from Lauras, the Improvement team knows exactly what to do to drive the biggest benefits to the site."

“Lauras International’s consultancy has been invaluable; through coaching and developing our internal line managers, we are now equipped to drive through operational changes.”

"Post implementation support from Idhammar’s Help Desk has been very good."

"Since using Miquest our lost equipment has fallen to just £500 a year due in the main to regular inventories being performed by Station Staff."

“Idhammar Systems’ support procedures ensure that improvement adjustments and upgrades made to Idhammar MMS are effectively integrated and reliably supported post implementation. Assuring users are entirely satisfied with the system means that it is utilised to the company’s best advantage.”

"We were looking for a system that could help us build a business case to replace machinery when needed. We wanted facts and figures, which could show results of such efforts. Idhammar’s OEE system has been a good solution to our needs."

"We chose a dedicated CMMS because it is specifically designed to support the maintenance team and provides the functionality and analysis capability we need to improve plant maintenance."

“This means the information flows from production to me and then on to the engineers."

"I thought the CMMS would be really tricky to use and take a while getting used to; however I quickly realised that it’s a very simple, yet powerful system."

"I would like Big Bear to harness Industry 4.0 technologies to gather maintenance and manufacturing performance data. Data analysis will become the driving force behind operations improvements in the food manufacturing industry, and I want Big Bear to be part of it.”
