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
