Rotterdam World Gateway (RWG) ensures the most efficient possible storage and transhipment of containers. The terminal, delivered in 2015, with a total capacity of 2,350,000 TEU/year, is highly advanced and highly automated.


The task
A high availability of the 11 quay cranes is crucial for the new terminal. In order to guarantee this availability from the maintenance organisation, the maintenance engineering role is of great importance. The new organisation still lacked a well-equipped maintenance engineering department, the associated work processes and the design of the new Maximo system.

The approach
Mainnovation offered support and coaching in setting up the Maintenance Engineering department for the new RWG container terminal. A start was made with setting up and filling the new Maximo system. The VDMXL process folder was used as the basis for coordinating and setting up work processes related to the Maximo system and linking the maintenance processes to the operational and financial processes.
In a second phase, Maximo is equipped with the asset breakdown structure and then filled with the necessary maintenance plans and spare parts.
In order to safeguard the chosen working methods, a KPI dashboard was introduced to monitor the progress of the processes via performance control.

Mainnovation’s added value
Mainnovation brought the knowledge to translate the (operational) maintenance processes into the configuration of Maximo and the corresponding roles and responsibilities within the organization. This led to a good coordination and integration of the activities for the maintenance department with operations and finances and thus a smooth and good start for the new organisation.

To secure the working methods, a KPI dashboard has been introduced.
