Ukrnafta implements corporate maintenance and repair management system

JSC Ukrnafta has implemented a corporate maintenance and repair management system and has begun its practical use, the company said in a press release on Tuesday.

"The goal is to create a unified electronic system for managing production assets: from equipment accounting to analyzing maintenance and repair costs," it noted.

The company explained that it is essentially creating a "digital twin" that allows for more accurate work planning, cost forecasting, and more efficient use of resources.

Since February 2026, the system has been in pilot operation at Ukrnafta’s regional divisions.

The project is being implemented using the Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) approach. It encompasses 16 modules and 39 end-to-end Level 1 and Level 2 business processes, supporting the management of the entire lifecycle of production assets.

According to Ukrnafta, one of the project’s key areas is the creation of a unified equipment database. Approximately 47,000 fixed assets have already been identified, 39,000 of which (over 80%) have been uploaded to the system. Approximately 8,000 repair objects have been created, over 150 equipment types (over 4,800 models) have been standardized, and over 7,000 units of technical documentation have been uploaded.

For each object, a digital passport is generated with a complete history of repairs, defects, downtime, and movements.

In addition, a regulatory framework for maintenance and repair has been created: over 10,000 process charts contain operational labor costs, standards, tool lists, and qualification requirements. All resources are integrated with the ERP system, enabling automated reservations and procurement requisition generation.

The ticket management process (BPMN 2.0) has also been standardized—from defect recording to analysis of completed work and cost transfer to the ERP. Around 500 typical defects have already been generated for technical failure analysis.

The system is integrated with ERP, which ensures transparent financial accounting of repairs and cost control at every stage.

"We are consistently moving toward a digital model for managing production assets. This is not a standalone IT project, but a change in our approach to production management. The system enables control at all stages – from equipment status and work planning to costs and performance," said Bohdan Kukura, Chairman of the Board of Ukrnafta, as quoted by the press service.

According to him, this results in improved process transparency, disciplined execution, and the quality of management decisions.

Meanwhile, as Oleh Deberyna, Head of the Technical Maintenance and Repair System Implementation Department, explained, Ukrnafta is essentially creating a unified digital asset management system that enables real-time monitoring of equipment status, work planning, and resource and cost control.

"It’s important that the system covers the entire cycle—from defect detection to failure analysis and management decision-making. This significantly improves the efficiency and manageability of production processes," he added.

As the company summarized, the implementation of the M&R system represents a change in the approach to asset management: uniform rules for working with equipment, standardization of processes, enhanced data management, and increased reliability and safety of production.

The next stage is scaling the system across all company divisions, including internal services. Implementation will continue in stages until mid-2027.
