The challenge
The degradation of experience and knowledge due to rapid generation change was starting to cause issues.
Operations management methods and levels differed in each department and best practices were not shared
It took time to prepare and transcribe paper-based orders and activating the creation of these orders was difficult
Leakage/missing data occurred in the shift handover and work instructions processes, which was a concern for stable operations
How Tempo Operations Management solved the challenge
Resonac implemented:
Tempo Operations Logbook (formerly j5 Operations Logbook
Tempo Shift Handover (formerly j5 Shift Handover)
Tempo Work Instructions (formerly j5 Work Instructions)
Tempo Standing Orders (formerly j5 Standing Orders)
Tempo Shift Handover produces reports for operators, boardmen and supervisors with relevant data, events and instructions for each unit and area of the refinery. It ensures a consistent, visible and accountable process.
Tempo Work Instructions enables planners to schedule ad hoc and recurring tasks for operations team members. Tasks are marked as complete and summarized in the Tempo Shift Handover reports.
Tempo Standing Orders allows for the controlled dissemination of important communications within the plant.
Benefits of Tempo Operations Management
A standard operations management system has been established for each department, enabling standardization across the complex.
Improvement in work efficiency was realized and a significant reduction in business hours was achieved.
By utilizing electronic information, Resonac Oita Complex succeeded in enhancing operator skills and supporting technology inheritance.
Reducing leakage/missing data using Tempo Shift Handover and Tempo Work Instructions has enabled a more robust and stable operation.
Finally, Tempo Operations Management provides an advanced business operations and technologytransfer to young staff.
“We were fascinated by the ease of use of the Tempo Operations Logbook. We introduced Tempo Operations Management to maintain and improve the on-site capabilities and to upgrade the work processes. We think that this is a communications tool that can be utilized not only for the operations management at a production site but also for field management in general.” Production Engineering, Resonac Oita Complex
