Challenge
The plant management team reviews a high-level report out of plant performance each day. This report out contains data from a variety of different groups (environmental, safety, process engineering, mechanical). Each group must manually input their data ahead of the meeting.
The management team only sees this report once a day because it is manually compiled by all the individual teams. The report is owned by one person, is stored in a place that not everyone can easily access, and is currently generated in Excel with macros that break often and require manual manipulation from many people. This report must combine data from a variety of different systems and organizations efficiently.
Solution
Using Seeq’s organizer topic, different functions throughout the plant can collaborate to put together one report. The larger plant operations report is a roll up of the individual unit reports, maintenance records, and operator shift logs.
The report combines the top Key Performance Indicators for each unit with inventory data to get a snapshot of plant operations. Safety, Environmental, and Maintenance data is also rolled up so everyone is aware of key upcoming activities.
Results
A new report was created in Seeq which eliminates the manual data entry and allows members of the team to update the report at anytime using the Auto Update function.
Everyone can view the report and drill down to the individual unit report to view individual unit operations, loss tracking, and operator shift logs with just one click. The report is stored on the Seeq Server so everyone in the organization can quickly access it whenever is convenient for them.
