Optimized Energy & Utility Industry Operations with Appian Solutions

Macedon's Appian Expertise

Energy and utility companies are facing challenges with the management of their facilities, including plants and refineries, because of legacy processes, risk, and change management. Although the tenured workforce is reluctant to embrace new technologies, those entering the workforce are looking at technology to drive change and efficiency while eliminating risk related to how work is accomplished.

Everything in the energy and utilities industry is process driven, so companies need a way to control maintenance costs by documenting and auditing daily operational procedures that sometimes shut down production.

At Macedon Technologies, we build systems that bring together technology, people, and processes. We help energy and utility companies simplify processes and meet industry standards through procedure-based solutions that support automation, reporting, and integration. Our solutions for energy and utilities companies enable them to leverage the asset-related data that is needed to make operational decisions.

Turnaround Management

Turnarounds are necessary to ensure reliable asset performance and production integrity. However, turnarounds can be difficult to manage and interrupt production. The Macedon Turnarounds solution helps energy and utilities companies:

  • Respond to events faster

  • Reduce non-productive time between tasks (e-Permitting/LOTO)

  • Optimize resource allocation

  • Automatically report progress

  • Reduce time from defect identification to defect resolution

  • Improve collaboration

  • Capture and analyze relevant information and metrics

Field Service Scheduling

We use our significant experience in building scheduling software to develop a Field Service Scheduling application that enables energy and utility companies to gain visibility into available resources and approaching deadlines using a centralized scheduling view. Benefits of Field Service Scheduling include:

  • Visibility needed to prevent overbooking and double-scheduling

  • Increased resource utilization by efficiently spreading the workload across your team

  • On-time delivery through visibility of upcoming deadlines

  • Enhanced full-team schedule visibility, allowing use of preferred calendar application

  • Pipeline planning through job milestone completion tracking

  • Improved client satisfaction

  • Continuous value through agile delivery, allowing for rapid updates to match ever-changing business rules and logic

Material Supply Management (MSM)

Manufacturing companies face significant challenges in meeting production demand due to uncertainty in the supply chain. A shortage of raw materials or components can delay production or force manufacturers to source materials from alternative suppliers at a higher cost.

Manufacturing Change Control Management (MCCM)

Manufacturing operations face significant challenges in managing process changes, particularly when these changes involve multiple departments and stages. Without a clear and unified view of the processes involved, or a way to ensure that changes are compliant with established standards such as ISO 9001, manufacturing organizations can struggle to remain competitive.
