MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF HEP POWER PLANTS

Abstract

Asset maintenance in power utilities is the key component of management. To this end HEP launched a project for the introduction of a maintenance management system (MMS) in its daughter companies engaging in the generation of electricity and in the generation and distribution of heat. The purpose of the MMS project was to set up a single management system the for technical systems of these facilities and to support it by implementing a specialised IT system. The paper describes the role of such systems in managing the operations of power utilities. It also shows the basic modules and functionalities in the MMS software for managing maintenance activities and logistic functions of managing inventories and procurement, the course of its introduction, and the performance in HEP’s power and heat plants.
