Lean Underpins Strategy for Operations

The Problem

The leaders in the new operation had to move away from the traditional and somewhat restricted approach of a large
multinational operator, to one of a more pragmatic and focused operator at the sharp end of
maximising and extending the profitable life of the field assets beyond that previously thought
possible.

The Solution

Over a twelve month period we have worked with Wytch Farm UK leaders to develop a number of
focused interventions

  • Developing an operational strategy founded in ‘Fit for Purpose’ Wells, Plant and People
  • Raising the awareness in Lean and CI from the top team to operations
  • Carrying out Lean based project improvement activities
  • Equipping individual and organisational capabilities in leading Lean, CI and change management

The Benefits

Results

  • A clear operational strategy with targeted objectives, pan organistional improvement strategies
    and aligned team plans
  • An achieved shift in organisational culture towards a ‘task and performance focused’ environment
    developing teams and cross functional communications.
  • Leaders and managers developing responsibility and accountability to deliver within an agreed
    framework and achieving measurable results in improved ways of working and business
    performance.
  • New capability of the operational Senior Management Team to ensure focus performance
    improvement
  • A Lean CI approach being used to translate culture change into tangible process and performance
    improvement
