Increased availability of Volvo Cars with Application Operation

Volvo was founded in 1927 and its factory is now in Torslanda, where several hundred thousand passenger cars leave the plant every year. An important role in production is played by the Application Operation service provided by Empir Industry.

How did operations work before Empir Industry's inputs?

– Before the service was introduced, IT problems could arise easily and then Volvo Cars production dropped. It was even more difficult for us to deal with changes in production or in the business, says Bo Persson, IT Manager at Volvo Cars.

What positive effects have you seen with the Application Operation service?

– The service has provided stability and availability. The purpose of the implementation was to keep the production process free from problems, but we got a lot more. Empir Industry has become a close partner who can provide advice on systems from an operational and change perspective.

Examples of other services that Empir Industry supplies to Volvo Cars

• System development for production systems
• IT project management
• Incident Manager
• IT infrastructure coordinator.
