MESPAS Software Modules

Planned System Maintenance

Other module features include activity alerts, automation of maintenance document updates, configurable job cards, and correlation of supply dependencies. Both planned and one-time maintenance tasks for a ship can be configured in the office, as well as the vessel, thereby ensuring that daily tasks will be completed successfully for the vessel to run smoothly. Step-by-step guides will also be available in soft copy for the crew to follow when servicing and repairing ship equipment.

Procurement

The MESPAS procurement module is one of the largest trading platforms for vessel equipment, enabling straight-forward and fully-integrated procurement for parts and consumables. More than 2.5 million parts from thousands of suppliers are available for online procurement, allowing marine buyers to find preferred suppliers and marine suppliers in reaching out to a larger customer base. Having this module reduces the need to incur additional monthly subscription premiums for other marine supplies trading platform. In addition, procurement can be done on a fleet-wide basis, which eliminates extra ordering and administrative charges. Fleet-wide inventory management for tracking and purchasing inventory is modernized with improved user-friendliness and promotes cost effectiveness.

Stock Management

Spare parts accounting and inventory position assignment functions are included in the MESPAS R5’s suite of core functions, an inventory management software module, both at an individual ship level and across a fleet of vessels, enabling constant and complete control for a ship management company. This module can automatically update procurement activities and link budget figures fleet-wide. Other features include the tracking of critical parts and alerting for mandatory parts inventory stocking. In addition to optimizing maintenance and having better stock control, fleet managers are able to update inventory levels through MESPAS’s fleet-wide view of standard equipment and parts.

Quality, Health, Safety, Environment.

Quality, Heath, Safety and Environment processes are crucial standard operating procedures (SOP) in complying with the requirements of classification societies (DNV-GL) and maritime organisations such as the IMO, SOLAS. This MESPAS software module enables the planning and implementation of advanced quality management processes. This module includes audit trails, risk assessment, definition of risk mitigation measures, and incident reporting. Administrative workload associated with reporting, controlling operating procedures and improving quality practices are substantially reduced with the QHSE module, enhancing process efficiency fleet-wide.

Document Management and Form Manager

MESPAS R5, which includes a web-based document management software, supports continuous updating of more than 40,000 maintenance/product manuals via the centralized MESPAS database infrastructure. Paper documents are converted into electronic documents to ensure common operating procedures fleet-wide. Information, such as training manuals, OEM handbooks and various port clearance certificates are available to customers immediately after manufacturers update their materials and is configurable for incident reports, checklists, and other key areas of documentation. This reduces the administrative burden on ship management companies in ensuring their vessels have the necessary up-to-date compliance documents
