Thaioil: Enhancing Preventive Maintenance Efficiency and Reliability with IMS RCM

Thaioil is one of Thailand’s leading integrated petroleum and petrochemical companies. The company’s primary business activities include crude oil refining, petroleum product manufacturing, and the production and distribution of petrochemical products.

Thaioil chose Cenosco’s IMS RCM to enhance their equipment reliability. Firstly, through IMS RCM they were able to streamline their rotating equipment template, which now allows for planning, scoping, and recommendation generations to be done before being sent to SAP. Additionally, as Thaioil aimed to transition to a more robust solution for maintenance planning, the necessity for centralized data management and integration capability with other system emerged. Lastly, a further enhancement of preventive maintenance strategy was desired to mitigate high costs of planned maintenance requirements. To accomplish this, Thaioil sought a comprehensive solution for effective grouping and analysis of failure data as well as cost optimization of maintenance tasks.

To address the areas of improvement in their maintenance planning, the reliability team at Thai Oil recommended considering the implementation of Cenosco’s IMS RCM, a cloud-based software solution for Reliability Centered Maintenance.

Cenosco’s IMS RCM software provided Thaioil with a SaaS-based reliability centered maintenance solution that helped rapidly enhance their maintenance workflow. By integrating the intricate rotating equipment template workflow in IMS RCM, Thaioil achieved significant time savings and accuracy improvements. The availability of reliability data and templates in the global reliability strategy library made maintenance planning and recommendation generation easier.

Cenosco’s IMS suite of products, including IMS PEI and IMS SIS, provided Thaioil with an integrated ecosystem for managing various aspects of their operations. This integration facilitated seamless data sharing and collaboration among teams, eliminating data silos and ensuring accurate and up-to-date information across the organization. The ability to use data from different sources enhanced decision-making and supported more informed maintenance strategies. This integration strategy in line with their ongoing digital transformation journey is set to eliminate all manual errors and deliver a remarkable improvement in overall maintenance efficiency.

Thaioil is keen on implementing IMS RCM’s Manage Equipment Care (MEC) board solution, which results in improved maintenance effectiveness and optimization in the maintenance scope. This improvement is understood to bring a direct positive impact on their production uptime, maintenance cost savings, and overall operational performance.
