Operational Excellence Consulting: Our practices
We consult internal clients with regard to assets, processes, and people. For example, we support in optimizing production plants and assets to improve reliability, unit ratios, and capacities. We also assist in developing and implementing the right organizational set-up and interfaces for production and site services. Another important part of our service portfolio consists of enabling teams for strategy deployment, structured problem solving, and continuous improvement.
Walter Opper, Head of Practice Group
Our mission is to improve the technical performance of production and infrastructure plants. We focus on major cost drivers such as raw material and energy consumption as well as on the most relevant levers to grow the business, like reliability and debottlenecking.
Based on our profound expertise in chemical process optimization, we identify improvement opportunities with short pay-back times and sustainable realization of tangible benefits.
