Case Study: Porterbrook improves outage scheduling and productivity with Prometheus Group

Major Rail Company Increases Productivity with Help from Prometheus Group Solution

Porterbrook Leasing, a major UK rail company, faced challenges including a lack of real-time schedule data and time-consuming paper-based updates for managing its mobile assets. They sought a more robust solution that could integrate with their existing Oracle eAM system to improve communications during maintenance outages and perform mass scheduling updates. They turned to the Prometheus Group and implemented its Prometheus Planning & Scheduling for Oracle solution.

The solution from Prometheus Group seamlessly integrated with Oracle eAM, providing intuitive list and Gantt chart views for easy visualization and mass updates. This enabled Porterbrook to proactively manage over 5,700 assets and 2,700+ annual work orders. The results included a reduction in the duration and cost of maintenance outages, the elimination of numerous stakeholder meetings, and the ability to identify and solve issues in a timely manner.
