MLGW Eliminates Long Lead Times

摘要

Strategic alliances help Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division maintain order and delivery schedules of critical equipment. Imagine being the person within an electric utility who is responsible for electric substations and the power transformers within them. The weather forecast calls for severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. That evening it begins to rain heavily. Lightning is flashing everywhere. The phone rings in the middle of the night. The foreman of the transformer maintenance group is on the other end of the line giving word that a power transformer has failed. Questions begin cascading through the mind: Is there a spare transformer available to use? Where is it located? How long will it take for crews to place the spare transformer in service? Luckily, there is a spare stored at another substation across town. Problem solved.
