Mahaweli hydropower complex opts for IFS Applications

IFS, the global enterprise applications company, has implemented IFS Applications at the Mahaweli Hydro Power Complex, an entity under the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB).

IFS introduced the applications at the Kotmale and Upper Kotmale Hydro Power Stations in 2012 and 2013. Following the successful and rapid implementation of the Applications at the two plants, the solution has been extended to cover the Board's remaining six hydropower stations: Victoria, Randenigala, Rantambe, Ukuwela, Bowatenna, and Nilambe.

By running IFS Applications, the Mahaweli Hydropower Complex will streamline maintenance, procurement, inventory and document management.

"The successful deployment of IFS Applications marks a milestone for our organization," said CEB Deputy General Manager Sarath K. Tilakaratna.

"By creating a central information hub, we are now better positioned to improve our resource planning, which ultimately allows our plants to operate effectively and efficiently," he said.

General Manager and Director of Consulting, IFS South Asia, Poorna Bandara said, "It is a proud moment for IFS as we deliver another successful ERP project. With the cooperation of the project team assembled by the CEB, we have helped the customer align its operations with global best practices. The CEB is a mammoth institution and we are pleased to support its drive for efficiency and effectiveness. We are committed to being a strong partner to the CEB in the years to come."
