Technology Category	Application Infrastructure & Middleware - Data Exchange & Integration
Applicable Industries	Chemicals
Applicable Functions	Discrete Manufacturing Procurement
Use Cases	Predictive Maintenance Process Control & Optimization
Services	Software Design & Engineering Services System Integration
Challenge	NIIK, a leading engineering company in Russia, was facing challenges in improving change management across departments and growing visibility of processes at the design supervision stage. Each change in a project required collaboration and coordination across multiple teams and disciplines. The existing working standards were failing to support the company’s ambitious goals and were not fit for purpose for a 21st-century industry leader. The process of updating new information from different design departments was holding up progress and pushing back delivery dates. There were misunderstandings between the design and procurement functions, leading to lost time, impacts on the bottom line, and implications for safety. Read More
About Customer	NIIK is a leading engineering company in Russia and former Soviet Union countries, with vast experience in grass-root construction and the revamp of urea plants. The company offers a full range of engineering services, based on its 65 years of experience. These services include laboratory tests, pilot studies, feasibility studies, and the development of Engineering & Design documentation in the field of urea and urea-based fertilisers, as well as detailed engineering for downstream products such as melamine and relative compounds. NIIK possesses vast experience in the field of engineering and design, yet the company is as eager as ever to implement innovative technologies to improve and continue development. The goal is not just to undertake a large number of projects, but to organise processes so that these projects are carried out as effectively as possible. Read More
Solution	To solve the challenges, a common information platform was introduced, both in IT and in ways of operating. Here, updates are communicated automatically instead of being tracked manually. NIIK now has a valuable commodity which provides the right information to the right people at the right time, helping its staff to make informed decisions as they carry out Engineering & Design work. By managing and incorporating changes during the design and construction process, it is now possible to monitor and control progress at all stages. This major improvement also has an effect on operators, who have more confidence now that their partnership is predictable and their plans reliable. Because they have one common information platform they are in control from the CAPEX phase right through to operations, since processes are transparent and change is seamless. For NIIK this is especially beneficial at the design supervision stage. Executing capital projects is now straightforward, because at the heart of each challenge NIIK now has the ability to make the right decisions at the right time. Read More Log in to view content
