Kvaerner Oilfield Products (KOP), one of the world's biggest oil and gas engineering contractors, expects to save at least 20% of engineering costs by installing £1 million worth of web-based product lifecycle management (PLM) systems globally. The system will integrate multiple departmental and site databases to create a single world-wide engineering data, documents and models repository, enabling huge time savings through instant online access, as well as rationalization and re-use of designs, drawings and components.
