Creating Transparency for Concept Issues and Purchased Parts Management in Plant Engineering

For a renowned plant engineering company, we developed and implemented a comprehensive concept to create transparency for ongoing concept issues and parts management.

Background

The client was facing a lack of transparency regarding the processing status of ongoing concept issues and parts management. There was a lack of an overall overview and effective communication between different departments.

Specific Task

Our task included establishing a complete overview of the concept status, responsibilities, material status, delivery, assembly, and documentation. Additionally, we were to improve interface communication and initiate ad-hoc measures early when necessary.

KBC Solution Approach

We implemented daily reporting as a basis for quick management decisions. By introducing a joint daily fixed meeting, we efficiently clarified interface issues. We prioritized and managed more than 1,300 concept detail issues and established active parts management for in-house production as well as purchased parts.

Achieved Effect

Through our approach, we succeeded in creating 100% transparency on ongoing concept issues. We significantly improved interface communication between project, development, purchasing, production, and construction site/assembly. The implemented reporting enabled quick and well-founded management decisions, leading to accelerated project progress. In addition to ensuring parts supply, we enabled the client to transition from reacting to deviations to proactively managing concept issues and parts provision.
