Mongstad

StS pioneered in using technical solutions together developed with our loyal suppliers, like Pinovo, Stopaq a.o. The contract was performed at unit rates and gave StS important experience with this compensation format for future projects.

The logistics of materials and equipment on Mongstad is a challenge. The refinery is located on a huge area and the maintenance work is composed of mainly minor jobs spread out over the entire plant. To improve our performance and productivity on corrective ISS work on the plant, we initiated an improvement project for the warehouse and logistics function in the project. The improvement project was based on LEAN principles. The project resulted in several changes in our approach to the logistics and warehouse function:

• Material coordinator prepare material for the jobs and brings them to site
• Improvements to inventory control process
• Improvements to shipping and receiving process
• Improvements to procurement process
• Organizing and labeling in the warehouse
• Tools and systems for material coordinator improved

Significant improvement in the flow of materials, reduced time for foremen and operators waiting for materials and fewer resources needed to operate the warehouse (100% position to 50% position).

Feedback/Result

StS Step ISS Mongstad Improvement Program (SIMP) with many improvement initiatives within productivity improvement, organizational effectiveness and HSSEQ performance have given a significant contribution to the ISS performance in the period from August 2014 to December 2015.

The project was executed with the highest HSSE-performance as the only petrochemical plant in Norway during the project period.
