Case Study: Penn Pharma boosts maintenance efficiency with IBM Maximo

Penn Pharma, a PCI company, takes a gold standard approach to maintenance and calibration

Penn Pharma, a PCI company, a provider of drug development and manufacturing services, faced a challenge in optimizing maintenance and calibration schedules at its new high-containment facility. Their outdated, paper-based processes were laborious and made it difficult to minimize disruption to production. To address this, they partnered with vendor IBM to implement the IBM Maximo Asset Management solution.

IBM, through its partner Peacock Engineering, deployed IBM Maximo to create a centralized, paper-free system for maintenance management. The solution provided intuitive dashboards for engineers, allowing them to efficiently plan and track tasks. This enabled Penn Pharma to seamlessly align maintenance with production schedules, boosting efficiency and availability. The implementation also simplified compliance with stringent regulatory and client quality standards, providing a full audit trail.
