Based on our unique IMIS® software, Isherwoods Computerised Maintenance Management Systems (IMIS®-MMS) are designed to optimise the performance of any ship, manufacturing plant or industrial site.
Integration of functions makes it simple to schedule and carry
out all required maintenance tasks in the most economical and
effective way. Detailed planning of both routine and infrequent
maintenance tasks and all associated spare parts requirements
ensures that productivity is maximised and 'down time' is kept to
the minimum.
Isherwoods IMIS®-MMS systems therefore provide significant long-term
benefits to ship or industrial plant operators through direct and
indirect cost savings.
The Systems are also designed to allow owners and operators to
satisfy all requirements of their national Government departments,
international agencies eg. International Maritime Organisation (IMO)
regulations, classification societies or other relevant bodies.
As a turnkey solution Isherwoods provide full Systems Implementation Services which include:-
Our integrated IMIS® system allows sites to plan the maintenance
workload and co-ordinate and allocate resources in an efficient and
timely manner.
In addition to managing the maintenance requirements, IMIS® includes
an integrated supply management function for the control of
inventory stocks and the procurement of stock replenishments.
IMIS® incorporates condition based, run hour and time-based
maintenance types and meets requirements for the classification
society's 'Approved Management Schemes'. A survey cycle is
integrated into the overall maintenance plan and automatically
reschedules maintenance work based on equipment usage and last
recorded maintenance completed.
The system also provides a balanced work plan based on time
estimates for each maintenance job and produces comprehensive
maintenance instructions and maintenance records.
Any Ship or Industrial plant will be equipped with a range of
mechanical, electrical, electrical distribution, electronic and
control equipment. Together these are defined as the Asset Base.
Our integrated IMIS® system allows site personnel to manage and
maintain the entire Asset Base.
Because certain items of equipment may become obsolete during the
life of the site IMIS® allows the introduction of new equipment and
the client can also access historical information on obsolete
equipment.
The IMIS® database stores all data and information relating to
individual assets, which includes a comprehensive technical
specification, configuration status and an itemised list of all
related technical references, design data sheets, drawings, etc.
The system also stores asset task information, labour rates, spare
part costs, downtime costs and information relating to preventive,
predictive and corrective maintenance tasks.
IMIS® will maintain a complete history of defect and failure data for
all assets on the site by tracking and maintaining a full history of
maintenance activities carried out on the asset base.
Our integrated IMIS® system includes features to minimise stock
holding requirements. There is a comprehensive purchasing module,
with invoice registration and the ability to handle multiple
currencies.
It also includes full component listing and illustrated parts images
options. The system automatically requisitions predefined inventory
items based on assigned re-order levels and current stocks.
The system is suitable for both consumable stores and spare part
stock control, with a full range of analysis reports on current
inventory, stock usage and purchases.
As a turnkey solution Isherwoods provide full Systems Implementation Services which include:-
We do all the above either at our Head Office, at the maintained
site and / or in the client's central management offices.
Isherwoods database preparation offers data acquisition, data
extraction, refinement and data entry. Isherwoods can carry out all
the audits required for database production
Our IMIS® Systems are installed and run on standard Microsoft
Windows™ platforms. Isherwoods can suggest network configurations
and arrange hardware supply as part of our services.
During and following installation of the software, Isherwoods
provide full customer training, together with comprehensive user
manuals describing operation of the software.
Isherwoods personnel supervise installation of our systems on site
and will provide post delivery support to customers by telephone,
Email or by on-site assistance if required.

maintenance and upgrades and technical publications - see software
and support.
Isherwoods Purchasing system using IMIS® is fully integrated into
the stock control or Stock Inventory Management system and allows
procurement functions to be carried out with the minimum of effort.
It includes:-
Bid Sheets and Purchase orders are usually customised to meet the client's own requirements. The purchasing module features invoice registration and the ability to handle multiple currencies.
Isherwoods IMIS® systems can synchronise their databases with head
office installations to allow central management to monitor and
control the systems operation across the enterprise.
The sites can transfer data by any electronic means including
satellite, landline, GSM or even physical media from site to site,
ship to shore, or site to management offices and vice versa at any
time, even during times when offices are unmanned.
The synchronisation process does not require on-line connections
between sites, which offers great flexibility and reduced
communication costs.
This also allows the management office to be remotely located from
the operating site and multiple sites can be monitored and analysed
from within the one application.
Isherwoods can provide a full range of condition monitoring
services including provision of all equipment, software, baseline
surveys, database preparation, installation, commissioning and
training.
Condition monitoring techniques we supply include:-
Isherwoods IMIS®-ILS documentation aims to minimise the amount of
paper required to administrate the maintenance and supply management
functions.
We provide all necessary documentation to operate the systems
efficiently, including:-
Isherwoods provide the above in hard copy format according to
customer requirements, together with the appropriate number of user
manuals. We will also design and embed into the database the format
and type of report forms required by users of the system.
IMIS®-ILS is capable of tracking and maintaining a full history of
maintenance activities carried out on the asset base. A designated
user can then review the full history of any item including
maintenance and repair costs, labour performance, plant availability
and graphical plots of condition measurement / calibration data.
IMIS®-ILS will catalogue and control manual and electronic documents
providing full library functionality in the system.
