Service innovation to drive chemical operation efficiency

Maintain competitive advantages requires to have in place a continuous improvement process to monitoring key business performance indicators, identify business strengths and weakness and timely take actions to maximize profit by efficient production and distribution of goods. In a chemical plant service innovation to integrate distributed control system and computerized maintenance management system presents a major opportunity to deploying knowledge and delivering operational excellence. Description of what type of data and systems are needed to capture, storage and exchange relevant information to understand process variance, plant uptime and asset availability will be discussed on this paper. Lesson learned during execution of this program and identified gap and potential opportunities to create service innovation for chemical operation efficiency are also shared.
