The MMC Norilsk Nickel Operational Unit is leading a project to implement a repairs performance monitoring system, which will automate data recording to assess performance in operations, maintenance, technical servicing, and repairs of equipment, as well as executive decision-making.

The project is overseen by Sergey Dyachenko, First Deputy CEO - Chief Operating Officer, MMC Norilsk Nickel.

The project is built with cutting edge BI-solutions provided by SAP. Data storage uses SAP BW based on SAP HANA. Rendering is achieved with the SAP BusinessObjects BI suite.

The pilot phase of the project will be run at Norilsk Nickel Polar Division enterprises, e.g. Taimyrsky Mine, Talnakh Concentrator Plant and B.I. Kolesnikov Nadezhda Metallurgical Plant with other Polar Division enterprises, Kola MMC sites, Norilsknickelremont, Polar Construction Company, and Norilskgeologia joining the run of the project at a later point.

The new systems will boost transparency and speed of the reporting on key performance indicators pertaining to equipment servicing and repairs to senior and mid-level management, which will trickle down to imrove operational decision-making across the company.
