Operations Management Systems (OMS)

The ROI story for Operations Management Systems (OMS) implementation is compelling; as a typical expenditure is recouped within a six month to two year time-frame due to more accurate decision making, improved productivity, higher operating margins and fewer breeches of safety and environmental regulations.

Operations Management Systems (OMS) is an integrated collection of technologies that provides a two-way communication between the operating data generated on the shop floor and the software systems used by plant management to monitor the performance of one or multiple facilities.

Operations Management Systems In The Process Plant Lifecycle

  • Front End Design
    • Choosing to implement an Operations Management Systems (OMS) during the front end design phase provides a cost effective way to plan system requirements, estimate costs and ensure system availability at startup when its needed most and ultimately saving you both time and money.
  • EPC
    • Through development of Operations Mangement Systems (OMS) during the EPC phase, all aspects of the project can be coordinated, which provides better data on which to base decisions and results in more predictable project management schedule and cost assessment.
  • Commissioning/Start-Up
    • Addressing Operations Management Systems (OMS) early ensures that the system is ready to use during this critical time and helps avoid startup delays and incidents.
  • Operations/Maintenance
    • Top tier performers are using Operations Management Systems (OMS) to protect, sustain and improve their business. OMS provides the systems that supports consistent and repeatable execution of best practices, facilitates continuous improvement, elevates incident avoidance and provides accurate, real-time information for decision making.
  • Troubleshooting
    • Operations Management Systems (OMS) measures and analyzes the performance of the process and equipment, alerting staff to potential problems and delivering all the information needed to pinpoint issues and optimize equipment behavior.

Through early adoption, Operations Management Systems (OMS) decisions can be made in time to determine the level of integration and automation needed to optimize the system for business alignment — saving you time and money.

KBR offers Operations Management Systems (OMS) design and implementation for both new and existing process facilities and to both our project clients and technology licensees.

KBR's Operations Management Systems (OMS) address key process facility challenges to competitiveness, such as lack of timely reliable data on which to base decisions and analyze problems, lack of cohesion and visibility across plant processes, inconsistent work processes, and inability to anticipate and avoid incidents and difficulty in maintaining alignment between production and customer orders.

KBR's OMS expertise overcomes these challenges by providing a consistent, organized and integrated approach to performance management, quality control, material movement, equipment maintenance and reliability, as well as, process safety management and environmental compliance.

The Benefits of Operational Management System (OMS) Implementation Include:

  • Decision making and reporting is based on accurate, consistent, real-time data
  • Health, safety and environmental compliance and reporting is improved, incidents avoided
  • Productivity and quality control is optimized
  • Raw material procurement, production and inventory are accurately balanced to meet demand
  • Workforce accountability and standardization is established, alongside consistent and repeatable work processes

OMS projects leverage KBR's domain expertise and world-class project execution capabilities. These skills make operational efficiency the priority and rapidly bring focus on defining, designing and deploying Operation Management Systems that link the shop floor to the top floor.
