In order to main­tain its com­pet­i­tive posi­tion in the lubri­cant mar­ket, Chevron set out to improve plant uti­liza­tion, reduce demur­rage, and secure on-time pack­ag­ing and deliv­ery of fin­ished goods. They real­ized ear­ly on that con­nect­ing the oper­a­tions and IT lay­ers of all its mul­ti-vin­tage plants was an essen­tial, foun­da­tion­al step towards mod­ern­iza­tion and digitization.

Chevron, along with its part­ner LTI, rolled out SAP MII across all its inter­na­tion­al plants to give them­selves a com­pet­i­tive edge in the mar­ket. In this ses­sion, Chevron and LTI will dis­cuss this trans­for­ma­tion­al jour­ney that helped them retain their supe­ri­or mar­ket posi­tion through improved vis­i­bil­i­ty and increased effi­cien­cies across their val­ue chain.

Key take­aways:

Build­ing con­nec­tions between fac­to­ry and enter­prise and enabling pro­duc­tion per­son­nel are crit­i­cal to cost effec­tive deliv­ery and mar­ket leadership.

Inte­grat­ing the real-time plant floor with the enter­prise pos­es for­mi­da­ble challenges.

Lack of inte­grat­ed man­u­fac­tur­ing, qual­i­ty, and com­pli­ance in a sin­gle solu­tion impacts abil­i­ty to con­sis­tent­ly deliv­er qual­i­ty products.
