Infor gives Huolinhe coal industry efficient control over fixed assets and performance

7th May 2007
Infor has implemented a Web-based enterprise asset management (EAM) system, in China 's Huolinhe Coal Industry Co Ltd. Located in Inner Mongolia Huolinhe produces 20 million tons of coal annually. Since its implementation, Huolinhe has established a complete system for fixed asset management, including equipment maintenance, storage management, purchase management and precision cost control .

Through a careful analysis of its management process and based on the goal of effective control, Huolinhe has also created a business process-based Key Performance Indicators (KPI) system for a stronger indication of achievements in management goals and for better results.

“ Enterprise asset management is critical for companies in the open-cast coal mine industry in order to become a modernly-run enterprise that can compete with an advantage,” said Jing Xiaorui, Deputy Manager and EAM Project Director of Huolinhe Coal Industry Co Ltd.

“Infor EAM Datastream 7i shortens the time to response and maintenance, extends the equipment lifespan, upgrades a reasonable level of parts stored in our warehouse and enables us to make informed purchase decisions. The Infor team demonstrated deep domain expertise by understanding our management needs and helped educate Huolinhe management into the concept of EAM step by step, and worked hard to smoothly implement the project successfully,” added Jing.

“Infor EAM Datastream 7i has the business-specific functionality required by the coal industry built into the solution. This implementation will let the Huolinhe management take a pulse of its coal business operations at any time to make informed decisions and for strategic planning,” said Steve Shorten, Regional Vice President EAM Division in Asia Pacific at Infor.
