Case Study: PolyOne achieves global maintenance standardization and expense reduction with eMaint CMMS

Global Manufacturer’s Proactive Approach to Maintenance Utilizes eMaint

PolyOne Corporation, a global provider of specialized polymer materials and services, faced inconsistent, underutilized maintenance systems after organic growth and acquisitions. Needing company-wide consistency and measurable financial targets—especially after adopting Lean Six Sigma—PolyOne sought to replace multiple, less-than-ideal CMMS platforms with a single standardized solution.

The company selected eMaint for its configurable web platform, easy integration, and strong value, then rolled it out to 50 locations in just over a year—12 months ahead of schedule. The new CMMS delivered global parts-inventory transparency, achieved targeted maintenance expense reductions in the first full year, and improved response time, reliability, quality, and proactive maintenance planning across plants and regions.
