Process optimisation

Our solutions for the process and process engineering industry

New applications for processes and process engineering

Just as a mechanic takes good care of a car’s engine to make sure it is always ready to go and able to deliver maximum performance, we take the same level of care when it comes to optimising processes and process technology. This puts us in the perfect position to offer process and functional improvements so you can create uniform working standards for all your employees. Our experts link these standards in work value maps to map complex work. A work value map consists of several service categories. We use to these categories to identify how much a service costs and how much revenue it generates.

Providing standardised processes

Many companies think that their procedures and processes are too individual to be able to compare them with the processes that other companies use. This situation resulted in the creation of the normling. A normling is built and documented digitally – there is no physical version. It is a plant that exists exclusively in the virtual world and could theoretically be located at any plant operator’s site. This means that the normling can be used as the neutral abstraction basis from which processes, functions and systems can be derived. This basis has made it is possible to establish cross-company benchmarks in the market for the first time. It eliminates the discussion of ‘but everything is different in my case’ because we abstract from a neutral object that every operators could use.

The DIN SPEC group 77221 was founded to establish this standard. The committee records its findings and universal descriptions in an official DIN document. The fact that everything is virtual enables every plant operator to carry out an actual comparison.

Data recording, processing and labelling

We manage the collection, processing and labelling of master data to improve the operational processes of your plants and laboratories. This is the data needed for digitalisation. It includes the technical building services, including the operating equipment, among other things.

Creating service categories, work value maps and shopping baskets

We create content that can be offered as a service and sold to process engineering companies. The standard provides an ideal basis for deriving processes and functions, as well as a basis for internally and externally validating the service categories and work value maps that have been created.

STLV development

Ongoing DIN SPEC series 77229, 77221, 77220 f. The STLV development forms the basis for the work mentioned in the first two topics – master data preparation, work value maps, service categories and so on. Points 1, 2 and 3 form the basis for the Standardisation, Central Access Management and PSA Gate working groups.

REFA time recordings

Creating the service categories, work value maps and shopping baskets require defined times, known as main times, auxiliary times and lead times. In this case, we use REFA procedures, as REFA is a recording procedure that is agreed and accepted by both social partners.

Inspection, maintenance and repair plans

We draw up inspection, maintenance and repair plans based on various data, including work value maps and REFA time records.

Holistic management for plant projects

Whether you are planning a new plant, a TAR or the conversion of existing premises, we can support you with data acquisition, preparation and labelling for all common plant engineering solutions.

Comparison of norms and standards

We check the company's register of standards with a focus on validity and revision service. As a result, a current status of the prepared standards register is recorded, which is subject to the revision standard. The standards are used in particular in bidding and tender documents.

Process documentation and maintenance of certifications

It is no secret that process documentation serves as an important information base for further optimisation, coordination and communication. With expertise in the process industry, we conduct a detailed analysis of the management, core and support processes (process map) as well as the responsibilities and interfaces and create process documentation with graphic and textual elements that can be further updated.
