Description of an automation object

JSC Izhora Plants is the enterprise with the developed metallurgical base, a powerful machine-building complex and research laboratories having a closed loop of production - from procurements to complex technology products. Within the last 40 years Izhora Plants - the leading enterprise of the Russian Federation specializing in production of the capital equipment for the first circuit of the NPP with pressurized water reactors.

Many years for the purpose of payroll at the enterprise the software package of own development was operated. In the conditions of constantly changing legislation support of software by own forces ceased to provide required efficiency of adjustment. The existing functionality in the field of personnel management required considerable expansion.

As a way out from current situation in the II quarter 2002 the tender for the choice of the software product of third-party development was announced. IT, Galaktika, Parus and KOMPAS companies took part in it. The main selection criteria of a system were:

• expected speed of achievement of result;
• possibility of completion under specifics of the enterprise;
• possibility of independent setup of a system.

At the beginning of summer of 2002 the agreement was signed with KOMPAS company.

From a response of the Deputy head of department of information support and communication of JSC Izhora Plants, PhD in Technological Sciences K.V. Belousa: ... KOMPAS in the tender were basic reasons of a victory of a packet: flexibility of software, convenience and speed of its setup due to transfer of the main weight of setup process for the visual MASTERS tool; rather high degree of readiness of the drawing version of a subsystem for use at the enterprises of the machine-building industry; an optimal ratio by complex criterion "price/quality"; readiness of KOMPAS company to carry out interface of the packet to the software of other firms and to adapt it to specifics of large industrial enterprise...

General Description of the Project

The second vital issue – record-breaking short terms of implementation. For the first two enterprises: Izhora-Transport Ltd and OMZ-Instrument LLC of work on implementation which included training, installation, setup and adaptation of software, import of initial data from DBMS operated a computer to the EU and also preproject inspection for the purpose of creation of terms of reference took 1 month (July, 2002). For the third enterprise – OMZ-Spetsstal LLC, numbering about 3000 people, implementation demanded 1.5 months (August – September, 2002). Directly for JSC Izhora Plants which number of staff was more than 9000 people, - 3 months (November, 2002 – January, 2003).
