Site Survey(TM) Software Lets Sherwin-Williams Customers Benefit From Sophisticated Maintenance Painting Analyses
Reports Help Customers Budget and Plan for Maintenance Painting
(CLEVELAND - January 18, 2006) Sherwin-Williams Industrial and Marine Coatings is the taking the lead in customer assistance by equipping its corrosion specification specialists with a comprehensive software program, Site Survey(tm), designed to enable plant maintenance decision-makers to maximize their investment in plant assets and minimize plant maintenance costs.
Sherwin-Williams developed the standalone software application. The program is used to improve maintenance painting planning by providing long-term budgetary analyses of on-site plant survey data. Site Survey runs on a Microsoft Office platform, allowing data to be e-mailed from Sherwin-Williams corrosion specification specialists directly to customers.
Site Survey lets users enter data to catalog and evaluate plant assets, estimate current and future maintenance painting expenses, and generate cost comparisons for various budget scenarios. The reports created allow customers to understand the current corrosion status of their facilities and identify maintenance priorities, actions, costs, and savings over a ten-year period.
After the initial data is entered by a corrosion specification specialist and a comprehensive Site Survey analysis is provided, through a licensing agreement, the program is allowed to reside on the customer's local server so it is easily updated by customers and accessible for their use. The program also:
· Is equipped with an area estimator to more quickly and accurately estimate surface areas of typical building materials and geometric structures such as tanks, pipes, columns and corrugated decking
· Allows easy cataloging and management of photographs
· Allocates repair priorities taking into account the overall condition of a structure and its importance to plant operations
· Calculates the optimal year in an asset's life cycle to overcoat or replace it
· Allows multiple-location comparisons by plant, division, or region
· Auto-optimizes budgets and compares up to eight budgets at a time
· Generates graphs and charts for visually communicating comparison data
· Provides internal adjustments for inflation, asset depreciation and other factors
"A top priority for Sherwin-Williams is helping our customers better use their maintenance dollars so they can minimize their costs and maximally leverage their investment in plant assets," says Doni Riddle, vice president industrial and marine marketing, The Sherwin-Williams Company.
