Face profitability challenges

As the chemical industry grows faster than the overall economy, the effects of the deep freeze and port issues lead to increased demand to refill the supply chain. Companies are facing pricing pressures as competition picks up, and in some cases, increased transportation and raw material cost impact profits. Many are having difficulty finding labor at an affordable cost, especially for the lower-skilled roles.

With significant professional and personal experience and strong relationships throughout the industry, we help our clients’ asset-intensive businesses face these profitability challenges by enabling their People, Processes, Systems and Technology for long-term benefits. In particular, Operational Excellence to help streamline labor raw material consumption and other costs, and Supply chain to better schedule and utilize transportation resources.

When a project is completed and the consultants leave, the knowledge of what was done and how does not leave the building. Individuals within the organization are trained to apply that knowledge, ensuring on going sustainability of the changes we helped enact.

Value Chain

Ensure sustainability by focusing on all levels of the organization

We believe in the apprentice model: authentic learning comes from a combination of close observation of skilled business practices in action, interspersed with guided repetition until skills are transferred and required outputs routinely generated. Ultimately, we’re not here to give our clients a report of what they can do better; we are here to work with them at all levels of the organization to ensure sustainability.

Featured Capabilities

The foundation of sustainable change is built on four categories of capabilities: People, Process, Systems & Technology

Operational Excellence

Improve maintenance efficiency, asset reliability, production optimization and quality results by implementing Opex processes and behaviors. By collaborating with local companies, improvements, including Preventive Maintenance effectiveness and Production control parameters, are designed and implemented.

Management Operating Systems

Install a system of KPIs that ensure the right information to run the business is reviewed by the right people at the right frequency. Often this includes “visual factory” tools to highlight performance on a real-time basis.

Positive improvements can be made in any of these areas in isolation, but the most powerful results are executed through an integrated approach.

Our professional fees are based upon the scope of work and the resources required to deliver it. There are no “hidden fees” or surprises that can arise from typical “time and materials” arrangements. We also don’t engage in “value-based pricing,” where fees are a percentage of savings.
