iBASEt’s Operations Process Management Solution Implemented at Pratt & Whitney
Foothill Ranch, CA, August 26th, 2003 – Pratt & Whitney (P&W) has commenced replacing and standardizing its work instructions authoring and shop execution tools with Solumina. P&W will be rolling-out Solumina’s Work Instructions authoring and shop execution using paperless and paper display technology to all its Repair and Overhaul facilities worldwide.
Solumina allows P&W’s engineering group to deliver repair instructions directly to shop terminals where the work is being performed. Each component’s complete repair history will be available to other P&W sites worldwide. The Solumina implementation, including a Conference Room Pilot, was completed in a record four months and included an integration with P&W’s SAP suite of applications.
“We are very pleased to bring this technology to our Component Repair and Engine Overhaul operations worldwide,” said Mike Paul, General Manager of Enterprise Systems for P&W. “This roll-out allows our facilities to gradually migrate to a paperless environment while facilitating standardization and collaboration between the repair centers. This will translate into faster repair cycles and standard process methodology.”
iBASEt’s President, Vic Sial, stated, “We are very proud to have been selected by P&W to provide electronic Work Instructions and to be a part of P&W’s e-business initiatives to help leverage the B2B opportunities provided by today’s internet enabled technologies. It has been a pleasure working with the team at P&W and we are looking forward to a long, mutually rewarding partnership.”
