Vectren Corporation Case Study

• Asset Lifecycle Management

Reduce overall operations, maintenance and capital spending, while maintaining high availability within plants and continuously and efficiently serving customer

As a key part of its strategy for meeting this challenge, Vectren management set out to eliminate inefficiencies in scheduling maintenance, ordering parts and keeping track of completed work. It accomplished this with the help of Schneider Electric’s Avantis enterprise asset management software. Avantis gave Vectren an enterprise database that enabled management to capture and analyze data about the current and historical maintenance work. It also helped track the cost of maintaining any given piece of equipment, keeping track of work orders and labor time, and ascertaining key performance indicators and benchmarks throughout the maintenance operation.
