Siemens MMDC – a unique business concept for cost ­reduction,
efficiency, and transparency for projects in the oil and gas industry

Answers for industry.

Projects in the oil and gas industry are getting larger,
more complex and take several years to develop. This
has an impact on the overall supply chain – on product
suppliers, OEMs, EPCs, and the end user.
Across this global supply chain many contractual and
technical interfaces have to be managed. A further
challenge is the global resource management.
Global engineering, manufacturing, raw materials, and
lead times have to be coordinated.

enges
in today’s project business
The traditional project approach leads to complex
operational and maintenance processes and project
structures and results in multivendor equipment.
The missing over-all transparency leads to schedule risks
and may jeopardize the investment. To overcome these
challenges Siemens developed the business concept
MMDC® – Main Motors & Drives Contractor.
The MMDC concept is a comprehensive approach that
reduces overall project cost and maximizes its efficiency
and transparency throughout the entire supply chain.

A unique business concept
MMD
MMDC
The MMDC business concept was developed in close
collaboration with the oil and gas industry to address the
highest requirements for efficiency and reliability. Pre­
requisite for this business concept is a comprehensive
portfolio in motors and drives. Furthermore it offers
close coordination between end user, EPC, OEM, and
Siemens – throughout all project phases and the entire
lifecycle.

MMDC makes engineering and project management much
simpler for all global partners involved in the project, and
it leads to a shorter overall project time.

The reliable basis for success
all important tests, such as back-to-back tests, in an
­in-house test center. Processes and portfolio comply with
all national and international standards and regulations.
The comprehensive range of products and services
enables only Siemens to offer the MMDC benefits to
clients.
MMDC is based on the c­ omprehensive range of products
and services that only Siemens can provide on a global
scale. It includes motors and drives from 100 W to 100 MW,
generators from 0.5 MVA to 300 MVA, and couplings and
gearboxes from 15 Nm to 10 MNm. The range of services
covers the entire plant lifecycle and can be matched to
any project’s requirements. In addition, Siemens performs

Experience
Optimized time frame and faster start-up
As MMDC, Siemens supports the customer throughout
the entire project – from the FEED phase all the way to
operation.
Close cooperation during the FEED phase results in the
definition of the exact scope and specification of any
required equipment. The Siemens MMDC project organization as a single point of contact is responsible for the
successful implementation throughout all project phases.
8
The MMDC project organization compiles all information
and requirements from the FEED phase into the Motors &
Drives Project Catalog. It is the core element of all phases
that follow and ensures that engineering and procurement as well as con­struction and commissioning are
easier to handle. This means that it takes considerably
less time until operation can start.
During operation, the MMDC concept contributes to
reduced OPEX in many ways. The Motors & Drives Project
Catalog also serves as a reference for maintenance and
services as well as for future projects.

Appointment of global
project developer and

In the earliest stages of a project Siemens establish a FEED
support team that develops standards resulting in the
Motors & Drives Project Catalog. All cost savings will be
identified during this process, which contributes to an
optimized total cost of ownership. All technical and commercial requirements of the project are clarified and
documented. The MMDC project manager and the global
capture team ensure that interfaces are reduced to a
minimum.
The MMDC Motors & Drives Catalog includes the scope of
motors and drives as a mechanical equipment list and an
electrical load list. There are also harmonized design typicals
for motors, drives, gearboxes, and couplings as well as
testing and documentation standards for the entire range
of motors and drives. The MMDC Motors & Drives Catalog
also specifies predefined terms and conditions for purchases
including a global price list. All these components and

information are compiled in the Motors & Drives Project
Catalog, which is a binding document for all parties
involved. It is the core element of all following project
phases. Plus, parts of it can be used in future projects and
make them even more cost-efficient.
The Motors & Drives Project Catalog ensures efficient
processes throughout the entire project life cycle.

Main Motors & Drives Contractor
In the engineering and procurement phase, the Siemens
MMDC project team provides a global offer and ordertracking services. The EPC can rely on a comprehensive
overview regarding all offers and orders from the OEMs
and Siemens. Project reporting ensures the highest possible degree of transparency for the entire project schedule
and facilitates its monitoring.
All these benefits contribute noticeably to reducing the
effort that is required for engineering and procurement.
This means that the expenditure of time and cost is also
kept at a minimum.
The sophisticated MMDC channel management provides
high flexibility to react efficiently on changes of the
project schedule.

made ­available on a web-based platform on request and
are available 24/7 from this point onwards.

That way, MMDC simplifies the i­nstallation and commissioning work. The ­standardized equipment allows for optimized training of the ­commissioning and operational
staff. Plus, the local S
­ iemens project organization provides
fast and consistent support at any time. The single vendor
aspect of the MMDC business concept increases safety by
reducing the number of contractors on site.

The MMDC business concept has obvious advantages
for end users during the operation phase. They can rely
on MRO* support from a single supplier and benefit from
a contact that is familiar with the project. This facilitates
intelligent spare parts management and ensures an
­optimized maintenance schedule as well as tailored
­support from the local Siemens entity.
As a perfect add-on to MMDC, an optional comprehen­sive
condition monitoring system minimizes the risk of unscheduled downtimes and increases the availability of

and processes. Siemens can provide the service for all
motors, drives, gears, and couplings as the single service
partner.
This helps increase operational safety and plant availability
in line with the end customer’s health, safety, and environment (HSE) policy.
