Automated Scheduling
Resource Leveling Program |

Hi John:
.... Jason and I are well on our way working
with the new scheduler, it is going to
be an excellent tool for us in planning.
It takes us to the next step
in the industry, I know there are many Mines that do not have what we do now.
On a topic unrelated to RLP, I'm writing to express my gratitude to you for
the SQR & Brio knowledge refresh that you've provided. My knowledge & skills
have always been marginal since I've never used it that much, and have been
totally immersed in Crystal Reports for seven years now. I have the training
manual from my SQR Report Writer school that I took in California a few years
ago, and I've referred to it on occasion. However, writing report code like
you've mastered is still way beyond me. I'm also thrilled to learn that both
SQRW and CRW reports can be run simultaneously from Maximo- I was always taught
that this wasn't possible. Thanks to you, I'm not afraid of SQR any more.
Regards,
Dennis Patterson, Maximo Administrator

Dear
John:
I very much enjoyed your article on the “Elusive
Weekly Maintenance Schedule” in the
March 2006 Maintenance Technology magazine. I
have read and reread it several times. Your article
was right on the mark in many areas. We even added
planners to our organization per your article.
Thanks for a good article.

“I
am happy to report that Coffeyville Resources is
very pleased with the Maximo system and how it has
simplified our record keeping. Maximo has wonderful
capabilities and maintains an auditable database
second to none. We are able to run on demand reports
which satisfy our management and auditors alike.
We can’t wait to get the latest release which
will further improve our ability to tract from the
work order all the way through payments. We are able
to process Purchase Orders and Contracts much faster
and with fewer errors than ever before. Thanks Synterprise
for your willing help in making our transition from
manually prepared reports to fully automated reports
a breeze.”

On behalf of Trinity
University, I’d like to thank you and the Synterprise
consultants for their hard work and perseverance
to get the Maximo system working here at Trinity
University. We appreciate the extra effort that was
made throughout the process of completing the scope
of work. This was helpful to Trinity. Fixing the
printing bug that even IBM did not fix is a significant
step towards our ability to move forward with the
daily operations.

I would like to acknowledge
and commend Mr. Fritz and his team for the excellent
work they performed in meeting our objectives, which
included, facilitating several workshops to assess
our current and future state environments, interviewing
internal users to assess their prospective use of either
application, providing oversight, guidance, and suggestions
for inclusion in the cost analysis model, and preparing
a comprehensive Maintenance Management Cost Evaluation
Summary Report.

“Great
vision. Synterprise seems to have a vast background
in the practical application of CMMS systems, which
gives them the insight necessary to perform a wide
verity of integrations. Synterprise has very good
resources for MEA issues.”

"Excellent
team approach. This team approach included Development,
Training, & quick response help. Synterprise’s
out of the box thinking helped us to integrate other
systems. Other contractors work on systems for months
and years. Synterprise has performed above my expectation
to schedule and cost."

Emissions Reduction and Engineering |

“The daily volumes
of bottom and fly ash generated appear to be slightly
less than in operations conducted prior to installation
of the EcoJet system. Of course, this is directly attributed
to the improved combustion and lower fuel consumption
achieved since entering operation of the Synterprise
equipment. I believe we are combusting approx. 1-1.5
TPH less wood fuel (~ 4-5%) at max. continuous steam
flow than would be combusted without the EcoJet system
in operation.
“The largest financial gain is the gain in production
on a continual basis. This plant was derated 2-2.5
MW (~ 15%) from current production due to CO emission
limitations. - - the revenue gain is in excess of $1M
annually if the facility is able to maintain this production
level”.

“In
summary, the Ecotube technology benefits have greatly
exceeded our expectations and Synterprise has performed
an excellent field installation with continuing excellent
client service. Synterprise’s dedication to excellence,
the expertise of their staff and their commitment to
customer satisfaction and value are second to none.”

In the 18 years I have been employed
at the Whitefield facility, I have worked closely with
a countless number of consultants and combustion engineers.
During the past months, Synterprise Global Consulting
Services has had a team on-site that stands so far
above all others that I am compelled to write this
letter to express my great satisfaction with this project
and the professionals who made it possible.

EcoJet Reduces CO 50%
A new operator at the MSE Fairhaven plant
asked; “How do I know the EcoJet System works?” The
Synterprise consultant suggested that he turn it off
and see what happened. The operator turned off the EcoJet
System and the CO levels immediately doubled. When he
turned the EcoJet System back on the CO levels returned
to their previous level. The operator said; “Okay,
I’m convinced!" |
