Success Story: Bangkok water quality control facility
“More convenient and less mistakes”
Before the implementation of OMSoft blue, the volume of data needed to be verified by the engineer was enormous. This resulted in a considerable amount of data to be overlooked, during times when the engineers were very busy.
After adopting OMSoft blue, engineers no longer have to get into every detail. OMSoft blue has abnormality detection system which will point out any values that deviates from the standard. In addition, the system will notify the operator/supervisor who is responsible for the process as well as suggestions about other points those needed to be checked. Furthermore, finished work records which are stored in OMSoft blue’s database can be reviewed to make sure that everything went in the way it should and to evaluate operator’s performance as well.
“New employee works like a pro”
Even with ISO 9100 implemented, an experienced operator still could not be matched by an inexperienced one. It consumes a lot of time and effort to train new employees in the hope that they would work like they have been doing their job for years and meeting the work standard.
OMSoft blue integrated all work processes and work instructions into the database, thus operators at Bangkok water quality control facility could access the work instructions related to their job via their PDAs. In addition, they can also browse their past work record to see if they did a mistake or not, if there’s a mistake then they can simply correct it right away through the website.
“Data are accurate and always up-to-date”
Formerly, data of Bangkok water quality control facility were kept both in the form of paper and electronic file which often need to be converted back and forth between formats thus often caused data inaccurateness. Also the conversion was not made routinely which made the data to mismatch between formats and sometimes outdated as well.
After an implementation of OMSoft blue, all data were then kept in the form of electronic file. Check sheet then came in the form of e-Check sheet in PDA which then could be synchronized to OMSoft blue’s database. This provided an accurate and up-to-date database which can be accessed from any place and anytime, thus made the executives more than happy.
“Reduce the operating cost”
Before the implementation of OMSoft blu, they got enormous amount of data but they were inconvenient to use because the lack of data management. Thus, analyzing process result was impossible or possible but in an inconvenient way.
At present, Bangkok water quality control facility could reduce lots of operating costs such as cost of chemicals, electricity cost, as well as machine maintenance cost. This was due to the resource planning capability and abnormality detection system of OMSoft blu. Examples of cost reduced via OMSoft
functions are as follows:
- Record the rate of sludge dehydration chemicals usage and use correlation analysis to find the optimal chemical usage rate. This set up a standard for sludge dehydration at optimum.
- Use resources efficiently by collecting resource usage data and calculate the most efficient volume of usage. Resource purchase planning also helps reducing the cost per unit of resource.
- Machines can operate more efficiently with a power plan derived from machine usage statistics automatically recorded by OMSoft blu.
- With abnormality detection system, a machine breakdown can be prevented and also extends the life time of machines. This reduces both equipment purchase cost and maintenance cost.
In conclusion, OMSoft blu has successfully improved Bangkok water quality control facility’s operation process management in ways listed below:
- New employees are aided by the integrated work process/work instruction.
- Engineers could verify recorded data with ease via the internet.
- Error and mistakes are lessened, also double checking and edition of check sheet can be done via the PDA.
- The database is now accurate and always up-to-date.
- The executives are very satisfied that reports are neat, accurate, and accessible from anywhere and anytime.
- Resources are managed and made sure that they are used in the most efficient way. Thus the investment on resources is significantly lessened.
- Preventive maintenance helps reduce machine maintenance cost and purchase cost by at least 50%. OMSoft simply eliminates the need of corrective maintenance with abnormality detection system embedded in the software.
- All levels of employee from top-tier executives to operators are happier working with OMSoft implemented. With better mental condition, their effectiveness has indirectly increased.
