挑战
陶氏化学公司是一家市值 600 亿美元的企业，由 13 个业务部门组成，由于业务结构分散，该公司在制定和实现全公司目标方面面临挑战。该公司需要满足各个业务部门不同的设施需求，同时将办公室和实验室空间的容量利用率提高到 90%，并在全球范围内改善资本规划、房地产租赁管理、运营、维护和能源消耗。陶氏的实验室和办公设施管理 (LOFM) 小组负责推动这些计划，该小组提供设施管理服务和解决方案，支持全球超过 2000 万平方英尺的实验室和行政办公空间。然而，所有这些领域的报告都是手动、脱节和电子表格驱动的，因此很难有效地利用数据。
关于客户
陶氏化学公司是一家市值 600 亿美元的企业，由 13 个业务部门组成，遍布全球。每个部门都独立运营，同时从集中式陶氏商业服务集团获得多项核心服务，包括人力资源、采购、信息技术、设施管理等。陶氏的实验室和办公设施管理 (LOFM) 集团提供设施管理服务和解决方案，支持全球超过 2000 万平方英尺的实验室和行政办公空间。为此，LOFM 聘请 IBM 业务合作伙伴 Computerized Facility Integration, LLC (CFI) 部署 IBM® TRIRIGA® 的设施空间管理功能，以跟踪陶氏业务部门的办公室和实验室空间使用情况。
解决方案
陶氏选择了 IBM 和 IBM 业务合作伙伴 Computerized Facility Integration, LLC (CFI) 来部署 IBM TRIRIGA 集成工作场所管理系统 (IWMS) 解决方案。该软件使陶氏的 LOFM 团队能够为决策者提供空间和容量使用情况的整体当前视图，从而将组织的空间管理模式从被动转变为主动。管理人员现在可以根据陶氏需求的变化来规划和优化空间使用情况。IBM TRIRIGA IWMS 的实施范围已扩展到包括监控资本项目、房地产相关分析和能源使用。随后，LOFM 聘请 CFI 提供、配置和实施一套扩展的 IBM TRIRIGA 软件产品作为 IWMS 解决方案的基础。通过部署 IBM TRIRIGA Capital Projects Manager 和 IBM TRIRIGA Workplace Operations Manager 软件，LOFM 正在标准化资本项目和设施维护的数据管理和业务流程。

Field Device Asset Management For Chemical Company in China
Chinese chemical subsidiary of multinational corporation serves customers throughout the world. Sales offices and research and technology centers are strategically located to provide rapid response to customer requests. Just two workers were assigned to maintain thousands of intelligent instruments in three production units, so they could do little more than react to device issues as they appeared. This costly maintenance method inevitably led to unexpected downtime when a critical instrument failed. Plant management recognized the need to change from reactive to predictive maintenance for all assets, including instruments and control valves, but help was needed in implementing such a technology-based initiative.
