Data

Mapping

Do you know where to find that report you created last month?  Where should you look for data from last year's change management project?  What system has the equipment listing?  Let's get started with an Enterprise Data Mapping exercise.  We will review where every department saves information of all types, establish a map of the document locations and Information flow.  After a SWOT analysis, we will create a plan to address gaps and reduce risk.

Aggregation &
Knowledge Management

In our digital age, Knowledge Management is the most critical element of an IM program.  It is challenging enough to manage millions of pieces of paper but finding a file in a mass of layered computer files across multiple systems can be a nightmare.  The aggregation of information across multiple platforms is required to ease the burden of accessing several systems to generate a 'full information picture'.  IM Visibility LLC specializes in assisting in the implementation of aggregation tools so that you can access your engineering, maintenance, and mechanical integrity information in seconds, not hours!

After implementing the core pillars of Document Management, Records Management, and Knowledge Management we will wrap a solid Governance program around your IM system. We will assist in developing your IM Strategy, Policy, Standards, and Procedures.  Adding a Steering Committee and Compliance check will keep you on track.

After an engineering, maintenance, or process project is complete, documents need gathered, catalogued and stored in locations that are accessible, searchable and retrievable.  From large oil and gas turnovers to upgrading an assembly line, IM Visibility LLC will design an information collection method using your existing systems to ensure that those critical documents remain accessible after the project is complete.

Successful Projects

 

In our digital age, it is imperative that People and Processes remain the focus of any transformation project.  The technology used to capture, store, interpret and share information is simply an enabler to the process.  The methods used to organize and evaluate the information dictate success, not the software package. Using these philosophies, the following are examples of successful projects: 

  • Implemented a comprehensive Asset Information Management system at an oil refinery that aggregates engineering design, mechanical integrity, maintenance, and operational incident reports in a single repository.  Users select a piece of equipment or process unit and view associated engineering ‘smart’ drawings (including P&IDs), maintenance records, equipment manuals, inspection records, and incident records on a single screen. Distilling 2 million documents to the 1 required document in < 5 mouse clicks improves efficiency and reduces frustration.

  • Designed and implemented method aggregating process quality records including ‘end of line’ test results, non-conforming material details, material cost, and operation production volumes to evaluate cost of quality defects.  Data is compiled from multiple databases and used to define business transformation projects resulting in a 75% reduction in scrap in 1 year.

  • Defined Information Management Governance model for large LNG supplier including establishing the Elements of the program and creating Policies, Standards, and Procedures to document the program.
