Commodities
Prices of oil and gas, metals, minerals and agricultural products are highly sensitive to shifts in global demand and supply, corporate earnings are subject to dramatic swings.
Scaling up is expensive and risky.
Solutions
How do you differentiate yourself to better deal with the “commodity cycle”?
​
How to reliably deliver in an industry where demand fluctuates significantly, changeover time and lead time are very long, and the production process is very rigid?
​
How to get more from current facilities and equipment, before the next expansion is approved?
Focus on developing innovative solutions aiming to remove significant limitations for downstream players such as distributors and users.
Improve service levels by accelerating flow through the production process and frequently respond to actual consumption from warehouses downstream.
Break the silos in the chain to reduce surplus inventory, while increasing the ability to respond to actual changes in demand.
Improve productivity by exposing hidden capacity and strategically locating buffers to protect flow and systematically identify hidden bottlenecks and improve yield.
