Business Challenges
LANXESS' High Performance Materials (HPM) department in Antwerp faced the challenge of standardising six different maintenance approaches without losing the flexibility and identity of the plants. Decentralised management made it difficult to share know-how and best practices between plants, leading to risks and extra costs. Emixa was brought in to help standardise the maintenance process while retaining differences between plants. The result is a standardised process and increased interchangeability of knowledge. LANXESS is now 'fit for the future' and is at the beginning of a permanent improvement process.
Keys to Success
Emixa helped with the standardisation, with three phases: interviews, workshops and implementation. The result is a standardised process that supports employees and improves the sharing of knowledge and best practices. LANXESS is now 'fit for the future' and is starting a permanent improvement process for further optimisation.
Results
The result is a standardised process that supports employees and enhances the exchange of knowledge and best practices. LANXESS is now 'fit for the future' and initiates an ongoing improvement process for further optimisation.
"The interchangeability of knowledge has increased, making us better prepared for workload peaks."
LANXESS' High Performance Materials (HPM) in Antwerp aims for uniform maintenance process in all their plants. Emixa helps with standardisation and flexibility in maintenance.
