Moy Park a poultry processing company has deployed Infor10 EAM Enterprise, Infor’s enterprise asset management solution which is is set to go live across 13 of its sites, helping to reduce production downtime and purchasing costs, boost productivity and deliver better financial control.
Moy Park Ltd is Northern Ireland's largest food processing company, employing over 8,500 people. EAM Enterprise will initially be deployed to manage all non-inventory assets, valued at a total of approximately £17,000,000.
The solution will be rolled out across 13 sites in Northern Ireland, England, Wales, Scotland, France, and The Netherlands by June 2012. EAM Enterprise embraces the procurement, finance, inventory, and equipment maintenance functions at Moy Park.
EAM Enterprise will help deliver an improved analysis of the engineering department’s spending. This will also help to measure suppliers’ performance; cutting the costs of procurement for the business; and further streamlining purchasing processes.The solution is also expected to increase the efficiency of maintenance by improving the analysis and reporting of asset condition by symptom, the reason for failure and work order type. This will enable the engineering department to reduce downtime by better scheduling proactive maintenance.
Finally, EAM Enterprise will help deliver more effective system reporting; better system management; superior user control and a more open interface to other systems that Moy Park plans to deploy. Moy Park also plans to implement Infor10 EAM Asset Sustainability in the future in order to reduce energy consumption throughout the business.
“We are ever mindful that in a sector as global as ours, there is always someone ready to take advantage if we don’t stay ahead in every respect of our operation,” said Conor Thompson, IS programme manager, Moy Park Ltd. “As part of our drive to have the best production facilities in the world, our use of Infor10 EAM Enterprise will help Moy Park keep its edge over the competition.”
