Process Excellence Success Story

Our Acrylates Area Oxidation Reactor was experiencing frequent unplanned shutdowns (trips). These trips were causing the loss of large fractions of our plant capacity. Previous corrective actions using other analysis tools seemed to have little lasting impact. We applied TapRooT® root cause analysis (a compact, concise problem-solving system) to study the problem analyzing each reactor trip, and collecting data.

Rapidly we understood at least one major issue – inconsistent procedure usage. Once we developed an effective fix for that, other issues were observed and fixed. Within a year, we had made significant improvements to our process excellence and eliminated the causes of reactor trips. This saved $40 million dollars in the next two years. These savings will continue to accumulate and we will find new ways to continuously improve using TapRooT®.

Finally, besides saving our site money, our improvement team received the highest corporate award possible for achieving process excellence.
