Planning and scheduling requires routine and frequent direct participation with the customer to improve ONYX efficiencies. When the customer begins to prioritize, ONYX can better plan, schedule and dispatch resources, thus balancing all and minimizing required resources. This program has been implemented at several of our site-based locations with excellent job cost reductions. The changes produce a very positive impact on operating cost and production rates. These benefits begin to accrue as early as 180 days after operations start-up and continue for the duration of the contract.
ONYX approaches the aforementioned short-term cost reductions through improved efficiencies .
Conversely, ONYX approaches the long-term cost reductions through effectiveness . The PET addresses the effectiveness with which ONYX performs its services. This begins with a discovery process. The modules listed in the ONYX PET assist in this shift to higher performance through benchmarking . ONYX has developed a comprehensive database to track job cleaning criteria for our customer's process equipment.
