About The Customer
Weir Services is a leading provider of equipment maintenance, process support, and asset management. It is part of The Weir Group, a FTSE 250 global engineering solutions company. The Weir Group employs just under 8,000 people worldwide across five divisions in closely aligned, independently successful companies, each with leading brand name products in their own sectors. In addition to Weir Services, divisions include Weir Minerals, Weir Clear Liquid, Weir Valves & Controls, and Weir Defense, Nuclear & Gas. Weir Services provides maintenance and service not only for Weir products, but also for all major equipment brands as well, and are a leading provider of equipment maintenance, process support and asset management to meet a broad spectrum of customer and process demands.
The Challenge
Weir Services, a part of The Weir Group, a global engineering services company, needed an ERP reporting tool capable of delivering quick, executive-level, dashboard views of division operations and finances to ensure optimal performance levels. The company had been sharing an ERP system with the Group’s Weir Pumps manufacturing business and recognized the need to implement its own ERP solution for its various facilities in the U.K, Middle East, and potentially other facilities around the world. The company wanted to leverage the invaluable data locked in its systems from Movex and SAP to its Environmental, Health and Safety system.
The Solution
Weir Services deployed QlikView to more than 550 employees across 6 functional areas. With QlikView, Weir Services analyzes inventories, work orders, sales, and staffing utilization - all focused on improving performance. QlikView is applied beyond ERP reporting by integrating data from Weir’s Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) Management System. And because the implementation is web-based, timely reporting can be shared across facilities and geographies. QlikView reports cover every area of their business, from finance to inventories to work orders to information that is not part of the ERP system.
Operational Impact
  • Improved operational visibility to improve control of business processes and operate more efficiently
  • Streamlined inventory management with cross-facility parts availability views to avoid unnecessary inventory purchases, optimize stocking levels, and reduce carrying costs
  • More efficient and balanced workforce shift scheduling
  • Less demand on IT support staff to deliver on information requests
