Supplies at Work: Technip optimizes production management of flexible pipes

Technip (www.technip.com), a manufacturer of flexible pipes for the oil and gas industry, has implemented IFS Applications (www.ifsworld.com) at the Flexi France site in order to consolidate its production management in project mode and to support its growth. The solution, integrated by Capgemini (www.capgemini.com) and deployed in July, 2011, will also be rolled out in the United Kingdom, Malaysia and Brazil.

Flexi France has manufactured and installed over 10,000 kilometers of flexible pipes since 1974. The company was seeking an integrated project-oriented solution covering all the aspects of its business. In order to meet production management objectives for all its manufacturing sites and to counter the growing demand for routing to end users, Technip decided to deploy IFS Applications at all its pipe factories as well as at Duco Ltd. in Newcastle, a site producing umbilicals — assemblies of steel and/or hydraulic tubes, electrical cables, and fiber optics used to inspect undersea facilities.
