Pulp and Paper

4Site® Solutions for Process Industries

The pace of change has companies in the process industries rethinking, reorganizing and reengineering their businesses to outperform their competitors, meet investor demands and sustain profitability. In industries long known for their capital-intensive nature and long-term performance horizons, business strategies must support the long-term viability of the enterprise while also delivering short-term results.

In process industries, plant and equipment costs can make or break returns. Enterprise asset management (EAM) technology is a key component of successful, profitable maintenance programs. The right EAM can not only help extend asset life and help prevent costly unexpected breakdowns, but also guide a company to improved business practices that deliver tangible return on investment (ROI) and create competitive advantage.

That's why process manufacturers turn to 4Site®. 4Site® integrated EAM suite delivers capabilities that help companies in process industries like pulp and paper maintain plant and equipment at top performance, keep costs in line and manage exacting regulatory requirements.

The 4Site® helps maintenance managers keep plant and equipment performing reliably, while making the most of scheduled shutdowns:

• Increase reliability and prolong asset life with robust preventive/predictive maintenance (PM) and reliability centered maintenance (RCM) programs
• Minimize impact of planned shutdowns on production even when critical equipment and processes are involved
• Identify functionally related equipment and ensure that all tasks for that equipment are consolidated on the shutdown schedule
• Consolidate tasks for functionally related equipment and efficient deployment of technicians
• Easily manage new equipment configurations
