Case Study: a world-leading aviation engines company achieves 90% scheduling time savings with Prometheus Scheduler

Meeting the One-of-a-Kind Needs of an R&D with Prometheus Scheduler for Maximo

The client, a world-leading provider of aviation engines and components, faced significant inefficiencies at its specialized R&D facility. Using IBM Maximo and Excel, the maintenance team spent over 20 hours per week on manual data entry and scheduling, which led to preventive maintenance (PM) work orders being missed and a complete inability to generate necessary reports for analysis. The team reached out to the Prometheus Group for a solution.

Prometheus Group implemented its Prometheus Scheduler for Maximo (previously AKWIRE) along with MPower to automate scheduling and create custom reports. This allowed the client to schedule work by craft instead of by individual, preventing PMs from being overlooked. The results included a 90% time savings in scheduling, the ability to analyze costs and identify bad actors, and a dramatic improvement in PM compliance, now nearing 100%.
