“The OXplus Academy is a Fact!”
The OXplus Academy is a fact! The first group of students were welcomed already in January 2012 for a Maximo course at our training facility in Den Bosch. The OXplus Academy is part of our strategy to support our other Service Areas. OXplus Academy provides training for ‘Organizational Alignment / Change’ , ‘EAM’ (Enterprise Asset Management) and Project & Program Management.
‘The A-Lanes A15 Consortium -a joint venture between Ballast Nedam, John Laing, Strabag and Structon, gives Project Management role for their Maximo PMS / AMS program to OXplus’
The Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management of the Netherlands (Rijkswaterstaat) has awarded the widening of the A15 between Maasvlakte and Vaanplein to the A-Lanes A15 Consortium -a joint venture between Ballast Nedam, John Laing, Strabag and Structon.
A-Lanes A15 contracted Oxplus to manage the ICT project, consisting a PMS (Performance Measurement System) and an AMS (Asset Management System), that both will be build into Maximo. The ICT project is a contractual requirement to support the DBFM Agreement (Design, Build, Finance and Maintain), with a nominal value of approximately €1.5 billion in which the consortium will be responsible for the design, construction, financing and maintenance of the project.
The project involves the widening of the entire stretch and includes the construction of the new Botlekbridge. The A15 is a major connection between the ever expanding port and industrial areas of Rotterdam and the European hinterland. The contract has a term of 25 years and a total nominal project value of approximately €1.5 billion. This means that the A15 MaVa project is the largest infrastructural project ever awarded by the The Dutch Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management.
‘OXplus is doing Project Management at Ballast-Nedam Infra Materieel (BNIM)’
From October 2010 onwards OXplus is doing Project Management for the implementation (rollout) of Ballast-Nedam ERP system Dynamics AX for the Infra Materieel department. The project has 2 important ‘Go-Live’ milestones (jan 1st and Mar 1st, 2011) and tight constraints on time and deliverables, especially as some new specific functionalities will be released in December 2010. Some important benefits and goals of this implementation are:
- Automation of manual processes and realize quick wins like better visibility of exploitation of Infra Equipment
- Synchronize / align the business Applications with Ballast-Nedam standards
- Creation of one platform to support future business changes.
