OPEX and MOC Excellence
How can you remain competitive at a time when wage costs, energy costs and operating expenses for an industrial site are increasing?
A multi-dimensional approach to cost control
Reducing operating costs (OPEX) to achieve operational excellence
Outsourcing production is not necessarily a miracle solution. In fact, in addition to the social and environmental impact, the expected gains are often reduced by customs duties, delays, the cost and the organization of transport. On the other hand, the pursuit of operational excellence is always a winner: rethinking the layout, flows, industrial organization, and methods to deal with non-quality-issues – while taking the consequences for human resources into account. Implementing factory 4.0 concepts (digital twins, augmented reality, e-maintenance, etc.) also allows us to gain a competitive edge.
Industry 4.0: The Production - Maintenance duo at the heart of performance
The factory of the future, which incorporates more robotics, automation, Internet of Things (IoT), connectivity and artificial intelligence, is revolutionizing the manufacturing sector by improving efficiency and productivity. Predictive maintenance is one of the key elements of this transformation: it plays a crucial role in optimizing asset performance, minimizing downtime and therefore reducing costs. Avencore can help you meet these challenges: how can you get the various departments (manufacturing, maintenance, purchasing and inventory) to work together to be more competitive? Which IT architecture is needed for high-performance predictive maintenance? What skills are needed for industrial maintenance?
Maintenance in Operational Condition (MOC): a major challenge for the defense, nuclear and aerospace industries
Maintenance in operational condition (MOC) is crucial to safety and performance in the defence, nuclear and aerospace industries. It requires close collaboration between manufacturers, suppliers, contractors and maintenance centres to optimise the exchange of information. Avencore’s approach makes it possible to align MOC objectives with commercial objectives, to streamline processes to improve efficiency, and to identify areas of improvement using multi-sector benchmarks.
By combining in-depth knowledge of the various levers and cost control measures with a broad vision of the company’s industrial strategy, Avencore helps its customers reduce their OPEX by 10-20% or greater.
“Involving management and getting support from all teams is the best way to promote the adoption of sustainable cost control programs.”
