• Real-time information integration, supported by PI at the operation support processes.
• Managing all the ENEL capacity/availability in an efficient and integrated way.
• Standardization of the operation support processes so that all the plants perform the same procedures, use the same language, and have at their disposal homogeneous information and ratios.
• Integration of the management processes at plants and central offices, through the unification of the tools for plant operation support, monitoring and planning.
• Improving environmental management.
• Optimizing facilities maintenance, integrating the operation support processes with the maintenance processes and the plant revision management.
• Reducing the operation and maintenance costs of the management systems.
