Asset Management for Diageo

The Viable Ventures Team is currently engaged in the provision of Asset & Data Management and Symptom Diagnostics review at numerous key distilleries owned and operated by Diageo, the World's leading premium drinks business.The process underway is to assist Diageo in creating a knowledge-based, not an assumption-based, data maintenance system to 'baseline' their assets, functions and risks, leading to: 

• Significant improvements in core processes.
• Reduction of process waste and time delays.
• Significant reduction of downtime and overhead costs.
• Expansion of each individual distillery's production and capability capacity.

 VV facilitators use the VV-created and project-specific FCA (Functional Critical Analysis) data management system to store and categorise all assets within the distilleries before transferring the data onto Diageo's own data management system, SAP.

This essential project has been in operation since April 2007 and is set to run until June 2009.
