Context / scope of project : The site, while profitable due to high commodities prices, was plagued by inconsistent performance and high costs. An all encompassing focus on day to day operational issues precluded any impact on these core issues. Our mandate was to assist in prioritizing the major issues, identify solutions, and maintain the focus required to see the solutions through, all the while transferring the skills to maintain the momentum we created together.

Client achieved:
	The best 4, 5 and 6 month production periods in plant history
	A permanent process to identify, prioritize, implement and sustain improvement opportunities
	$25M (6.3%) in annualized cost savings, with a pipeline of $20M (5%) more
	Best ever autoclave availabilities (the bottleneck)
