Metso’s device management solution to be implemented at Grupa Lotos’s GdaÅ„sk refinery
Grupa Lotos S.A. has chosen Metso’s Device Management Solution to optimize its valve spare parts stocking and supply. As part of the contract, Metso will also provide its On-site Supervising Service at the GdaÅ„sk refinery so as to ensure that daily maintenance and turnaround activities always meet the high standards set by Grupa Lotos. The contract value has not been disclosed.
Technical Director of Grupa Lotos Grzegorz BÅ‚Ä™dowski said: “We chose Metso to improve our capabilities in managing valve repairs and spare parts inventory. To support operational processes and to keep high refinery availability, we need reliable equipment and good partners like Metso.”
Through in-depth understanding of the criticality of individual devices and an intelligent stocking strategy, Metso is able to simultaneously reduce the number of spare parts and components held in stock while increasing the number of devices covered by spare parts in the refinery. Through this approach at other sites, Metso has been able to substantially cut spare parts inventory, reduce yearly spare parts capital and operational expenditure, while significantly increasing the number of devices covered by spare parts.
Metso’s On-site Supervising Service ensures that maintenance and repair work done by the end user and third parties has been done correctly and meets stringent quality thresholds. As part of the service, Metso assists in maintenance planning, checks the completed maintenance and repair work done on Metso items, carries out testing on repaired equipment to ensure that it has been performed correctly and assists Lotos with all other daily and long-term activities related to Metso valves.
