AG Maintenance Excellence

AG led a highly complex project to cleanse and migrate to SAP maintenance data as part of a leading E&P company’s Maintenance Excellence programme. AG had already defined the SAP data standards, but now had to ensure these were applied to all data.

The project, were Winshuttle was used to upload the remediated data, involved a high number of activities that followed stringent policies and procedures. The result was complete maintenance data now in SAP in the right format and following the correct hierarchy. This enabled the business to undertake the right maintenance going forward, prioritising what was safety critical.

When this international energy company was formed by separating all fossil fuel assets from its parent, they decided not only to keep a smart solution previously developed by AG, but they called upon the same consultancy to develop it further. The original solution used Winshuttle forms together with extensive logic and smart features to simplify the updating of their maintenance master data in SAP.

Th solution was not only updated to meet new technical and business requirements, but it was invested in further by developing its technical design and usability. As the new team highly valued the AG solution, they decided to extend its footprint when the opportunity arose.

When this leading independent exploration and production (E&P) company embarked on a 4-year journey to set new standards in safety-critical maintenance, they chose AG as their SAP implementation partner. AG developed the SAP design, defined the standards in SAP of huge amounts of complex maintenance data and carried out all data remediation activity. The work allowed the company to achieve IT processes and data in SAP that were fully aligned to their business and industry best practice – such as ISO 14224. While their Maintenance Excellence Programme is not yet complete, with the help of AG they are fast realising a fully structured, preventative and predictive approach to maintenance management.
