matrix maintains its position in the pulp and paper industry

Matrix Resource Management has seen a significant increase in turnover over the past five years. This success can be attributed largely to our ability to supply very specific solutions into niche market sectors, not least the pulp and paper industry.

Pulp and paper companies, such as BPB Paperboard's Davidson Mill on the River Don, Scotland, are using IMPACTxp to reduce breakdowns, predict maintenance requirements, plan shutdowns effectively, reduce inventory costs and increase equipment availability.

Ralph Schofield, Managing Director of Matrix Resource Management says: "IMPACTxp provides tools to schedule predictive maintenance, preventive maintenance and full plant shutdowns. Multi-site capabilities provide opportunities to rationalize equipment and spare part usage while budget and cost controls give managers the tools to monitor performance. All this helps to ensure that equipment is fully utilized to maximum efficiency 24 hours a day."
