CDHB tracks half a billion dollars worth of assets in IBM Maximo

Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) manages not only its hospital systems and critical clinical assets but also the grounds and gardens of its 89 properties. Its total asset-base is valued at over half a billion dollars. "We need to make sure we're looking after our asset base properly," says CDHB's Facilities and Engineering Manager, Alan Bavis, "and with such a big investment, we need to understand our maintenance needs."

The Challenge

CDHB's original project to implement the strategic asset and service management system Maximo left a lot of loose ends, partly due to organisational restructuring 12 months into deployment. By the end of the project the system was in use exclusively for facilities maintenance at just one hospital. Multiple other campuses - including three hospitals, external clinics and other sites - weren't using the system. Maximo was neither connected to the technical services components of maintenance, such as mobile equipment, nor to patient-connected equipment.

The Solution

IBM Maximo for all facilities purchasing; plant preventative maintenance; defect maintenance; performance management of trade staff and contracts; and project management.

Key Benefits

More consistent business processes; ease of raising and tracking of defects and mapping their progress; a technical upgrade to bring Maximo up to date; cleansed data and upgraded patches; capability to measure the performance of project managers and tradespeople; efficiency gains; time saved on information gathering through reporting functionality; and asset register accuracy.
