Case Study: Western Refining optimizes plant asset availability with AVEVA Avantis.PRO Enterprise Asset Management

Maintenance Management Helps Western Refining Optimize Availability Of Plant Assets

Western Refining, an independent crude oil refiner and marketer, faced an aging, complex legacy asset-management system that made it difficult to cut costs, improve efficiency, and accurately track materials and work orders. To modernize maintenance management and move to a Windows-based environment, Western Refining selected AVEVA’s Avantis.PRO Enterprise Asset Management.

AVEVA implemented Avantis.PRO modules—including Entity Management, Work Management, Preventive Maintenance, MRO Inventory and Procurement—automating preventive work order generation, inventory control and purchasing. The AVEVA solution delivered scalable asset management to support growth, a familiar Microsoft Windows user experience, full accountability for work orders, labor and materials, streamlined purchasing, and rapid user adoption, producing measurable improvements in maintenance efficiency, inventory value control and operational integrity.
