Dave Reiber of General Motors speaks about using IBM Maximo Asset Management to make sure the company's production processes are consistent throughout the world. Using Maximo, GM is able to have a singular system by which its manufacturing processes are maintained. This system ensures that GM builds cars and trucks in the U.S. the same way they are built in Asia and Europe. The company has implemented Maximo as the main enterprise asset management solution for monitoring maintenance systems on a worldwide level, and Reiber has found that Maximo is a reliable tool that works globally. Different countries had previously used a patchwork system of different maintenance solutions, but IBM Maximo has provided a consistent global solution, fulfilling the need to improve responsiveness and proving to be a good return on investment.
