South Western Railway head of continuous improvement Adam Carter said: “Infor EAM will allow us to view everything in one place, driving greater efficiency and the agility to react and rectify defects quickly.
“The user-friendliness of Infor EAM, combined with Sapphire’s in-depth knowledge, has resulted in a faster roll-out, allowing us to utilise the benefits of the system much quicker.”
Infor EAM technical product evangelist Kevin Price said: “In the transportation industry, standards are everything, and having a system that facilitates both ISO 55001 and maximising availability for the smooth running of the fleet is paramount to success.
“Having the visibility not only to plan maintenance and manage warranties effectively, but to detect and rectify defects as they are spotted, is only possible by having the best EAM systems. Through its deployment of Infor EAM, South Western Railway is amongst those leading best practice.”
