Ensuring
common processes across plants at Akzo Nobel
The Challenge
Akzo Nobel Surfactants Americas,
a leading manufacturer of surfactant chemicals
for a variety of markets including agriculture,
oil and gas, and personal products, needed
to harmonize processes for capacity planning,
production scheduling and order promising
across all its plants, including two that
were acquired from Crompton in 2002.
The Solution
After a thorough evaluation of prevailing
processes, technology and organization, Bristlecone
developed common processes to meet the aforementioned
challenge. Our team clearly articulated immediate,
interim and long-term process goals and actions
to address some of the key issues identified
in the study including: > Lack of trust
in the forecasts developed in the demand planning
process
> Inefficient
processes for capacity planning, production
scheduling and
order promising
> No real
time order promising capabilities
> Inventory
and master data accuracy issues
Business Impact
ANSA received an actionable strategy and implementation
approach from Bristlecone to create common
processes across plants. With harmonized processes,
ANSA benefited from improved plant and supply
chain efficiencies.
