KBC was tasked with implementing maintenance and reliability practices across global operations at a world leading chemical company. The objective of the project was to improve the company’s overall performance and competitive position.
The customer operated across several geographic locations in North America, Europe and China. Preliminary assessments across these sites highlighted differing systems, cultures and human behaviors, leading to a range of processes, methodologies and levels of performance. The primary challenge of the project was thus to implement new and consistent practices across the company’s sites.
KBC’s approach was to take the best from existing company practices, incorporate them with the highest industry standards, and then roll-out these new practices across the customer sites to create a new corporate standard. New methodologies were implemented to either complement or replace existing ways of managing reliability and maintenance. These included:
The identified benefits of the project across global operations exceeded €250 million per year in profit improvement. This was achieved through the increased utilization of assets and a reduction in maintenance costs of over €100 million.
