DPM2 - Diving Plant Maintenance Manager is software solution developed by Mark John Rheeder with the purpose of addressing the certification and audit requirements of life support equipment, employed throughout the offshore commercial diving industry, as set forth by the International Maritime Contractors Association IMCA. History Having extensive experience as a dive systems auditor and having previously worked as a software developer specializing in financial and asset management systems DPM2 was developed to serve as a formal solution to one of the commercial diving industries’ greatest challenges, achieving and maintaining full compliance of life support equipment with IMCA Diving Equipment Systems Inspection Guidance Notes DESIGN. Various solutions have been employed by multinationals to this end with varying degrees of success, however third-party IMCA audits continued to have numerous finding noted. Traditional Computerized Maintenance Management Systems CMMS are frequently employed but lack awareness of the IMCA guidelines required to ensure correct maintenance in some cases. CMMS also do not produce the required supporting documentation and therefore add to the workload required to ensure that commercial dive equipment is fully certified and complaint at all times. Apart from CMMS there have been a number of bespoke systems developed with the same aim that are mostly based on preconfigured commercial dive equipment certificate templates. In order for any template to be accurately drafted all relevant IMCA DESIGN documentation have to be manually referenced which introduces errors and in turn audit findings. A solution was required that is inherently aware of all relevant IMCA DESING guidance. IMCA DESIGN and Related Documentation The following IMCA documentation are used for the certification and auditing of life support equipment employed in the offshore commercial diving industry: Technologies Employed DPM2 was developed as a multi-tier WPF application on Microsoft’s .Net Framework 4.6.1 with a RDBMS backend. Methodology DPM2 Diving Plant Maintenance Manager is fully aware of all relevant IMCA DESING documentation permitting a truly dynamic PMS system that generates all supporting documentation. DPM2 was designed to be fully scalable with future updates to all relevant IMCA DESING documentation in mind. No data is ever deleted but rather archived to permit linking of historic data to any IMCA DESING document line item. DPM2 implements Work Order functionality requiring any WO to first be close out to permit recertification of associated equipment. Work order notifications, reminders and equipment expiry e-mail notifications are automated and appropriately circulated. Capabilities
