Process-driven execution of your complete project

Built specifically for the process plant, marine and power industries, the integrated AVEVA Enterprise Resource Management solution supports the design, procure, construct and delivery process from beginning to end. From Bill of Materials management, procurement and logistics, to fabrication and construction planning and control – AVEVA Enterprise Resource Management creates efficiencies from the automation of initial project planning and material definition.

A robust solution tailor-made for your project execution requirements

AVEVA ERM offers you total control over your entire project. Our software can be configured to your specific needs by integrating with your existing systems and other AVEVA applications. It can also be used on individual project disciplines or phases, or for maximum business benefit. It can be fully integrated into your process, resulting in efficiency gains throughout.

Catalogue Manager

AVEVA ERM’s Catalogue Manager module focuses on many of the typical engineering management challenges and issues that are encountered when working to critical deadlines. These include:

• The need to quickly develop specifications for early estimates or FEED processes, as well as approving changes by revision.
• Potential pollution of the multi-project catalogue, as a result of inconsistency of descriptions or duplicate coding.
• Making certain that both the 3D design team and fabricators are working with the same descriptions and components as materials management.

Planning

AVEVA Planning can significantly reduce project cost and delivery time, increasing business efficiency, profitability and competitive advantage. It achieves this by supporting the assignment of all critical resource requirements, including documents, drawings, material and instructions.

It offers a flexible project planning and control system that effectively integrates with other AVEVA and third-party applications. AVEVA Planning enables users to make decisions and act in relation to up-to-date information. It does so by providing the essential closed-loop feedback between planning and control – even across multiple projects.

This makes possible the effective management of resources, as well as the creation of accurate work packages, so promoting maximum schedule adherence and minimum rework in construction.

Material

The AVEVA ERM Material module offers easy access to accurate material information through every stage of a project, from its initial definition, through progressive refinement of all crucial material information, to procurement and on-site delivery.

Smooth integration between planning, design, construction and material management systems empowers both shipbuilders and EPCs to achieve efficient, reliable, cost-effective delivery of high-quality vessels – and projects.

Materials are your greatest expense – and your biggest opportunity. According to McKinsey, material and procurement costs make up 40% of a project’s total installed cost (TIC).

CII suggests that approximately 10% of project waste is allocated to expediting materials as a result of change.

Production

The Production module is a comprehensive and powerful solution for the detailed planning, monitoring and control of the entire lifecycles of fabrication and erection tasks – from their initial creation to scheduling and release, right through to the selection, reservation and distribution of materials.

AVEVA Production links planning, materials and resources. It does so through the integrated AVEVA ERM family or third-party applications, in order to enable fabrication and erection tasks to move forward as planned.

Construction Work Packages that were created during project planning are divided into smaller activities (jobs and work orders) in construction planning, thus ensuring that Installation Work Packages remain a manageable size.

Cloud Enabled

AVEVA ERM can be deployed on your premises or on the cloud, making it accessible wherever an Internet connection is available. Provide your global teams with a robust, scalable and reliable corporate ERM solution. This will enable them to deliver integrated and unified business processes, local as well as global projects in a globally shared environment.

Tap into business-critical benefits on your next capital project

The alignment of all AVEVA ERM modules on a sole database makes it possible for true integration between planning, materials management and other construction processes to be achieved. This enables a progressive deployment tailor-made for business requirements and opportunities, offering measurable and achievable cost and schedule benefits at all stages.

Project Managers

Delivering against plan is the main priority of Project Managers. ERM facilitates efficient planning as well as project execution, with total control over the complete process to help them deliver timeously and on budget with near-zero claims.

Supply Chain / Head of Procurement

Materials comprise your greatest expense, but it is also your greatest opportunity. Supply Chain and Procurement professionals use the tool for optimising purchasing, thus ensuring the correct materials arrive in the right quantity at the right time.

Construction Manager

AVEVA ERM is used by Construction Managers to develop all the various building blocks of the Project Execution Plan. This includes engineering, installation and construction work packages. It also allows for data-backed decision making with regards to the plan as changes may occur.

It is quick to set up, highly productive and easy to use. It supports various engineering standards, individual company working methods as well as complex projects.

Throughout the design process lifecycle, AVEVA P&ID enables users to add real value to their design data within a predefined project environment. It is possible for AVEVA P&ID to be close-coupled to a database, in order for changes to be incorporated from the P&ID into database, and vice versa. AVEVA P&ID also stores all the intelligent engineering data onto the graphical entities in AutoCAD® drawings that, if required, can be used to regenerate the project database.
