• Explore critical findings and how Chemours was able to compare how the same business process is executed by site, by region, and by business unit.
• Understand how Chemours turned more than 70 business users into process miners looking for inefficiencies across four world regions.

Never-before possible insight in how processes are executed, how long certain steps take, and where re-work and changes are happening.

Key Business Benefits:

• Transparency: An understanding of the level of complexity we have in our OTC process
• A change agent: A tool that we are deploying across all regions to help us change our mindsets and behaviors

LyondellBasell is a multinational chemical company that is the largest licensor of polyethylene and polypropylene technologies in the world. Within the past year, LyondellBasell implemented SAP MDG for two objects across five worldwide plants. The first phase of this implementation created the business rules and put the governance framework in place for the complete enterprise system landscape. With almost 30,000 unique vendors, more than 350 equipment classes, and more than 600,000 materials for SAP Master Data Governance, this project faced many of the common technical challenges that come with any large-scale implementation, but also worked through nature’s challenge: Hurricane Harvey. This people, process, and technology story shares how Lyondell found success by building a unique road map early on. Employing its collaboration-centric “One Team” approach, the road map focused on requirements, implementation of common governance processes, and leading practices. Learn the collaboration and technical steps that LyondellBasell took to ensure project success and how it overcame some of the unique hurdles of SAP Master Data Governance implementations.

The industrial gases industry is largely a “local” business that is in part driven by numerous production plants in multiple locations whose products are then delivered to customers nearby. In many cases, these plants can be located in areas that are by nature “remote” to support such activities as oil and gas refining, mining and metals production, etc. For such facilities, a key capability is the power to predict and avoid costly downtime. The ability to capture real-time health and status insights of remotely located equipment allows intelligent operation and greatly improves asset and supply chain performance. Based on its historical operation of more than 350 plants globally, Air Products has developed the trademarked system, ProcessMD, a plant data-based, auto-learning, and adaptive model that collects data in real time through the cloud and provides predictive maintenance and other performance management capabilities. The ProcessMD system is now also offered as a digital service to third-party customers for their own facilities. The “holy grail” of chemicals product manufacturing and delivery is a fully integrated and automated supply chain, and the development of ProcessMD offers lessons along the journey and history relative to plant automation, advanced controls, remote sensing, and telemetry, as well as more recently advanced analytics, nontraditional data, machine learning, and the cloud in order to ultimately achieve a fully digitized supply chain.

Key Business Benefits:

• Work toward fully integrated and automated supply chain
• Lessons on plant automation, advanced controls, remote sensing, and telemetry
• Overview of the ProcessMD system

ike many large companies, DowDuPont has no shortage of data. It also has no shortage of different tools and methods for accessing and sharing that data. That’s where the challenges start. How do we maintain our “one version of the truth?” How do we enable people to spend more time analyzing information and making business decisions and less time creating “their flavor” of a report that has been created multiple times by other people?

Introducing the StoryBuilder! The StoryBuilder is a tool that allows business users to share existing insights from various systems and sources into one simple place: their story. Best described as a “data insight aggregator,” the tool allows authors to assemble stories from various sources and share them in a simple, consumable, maintainable story, which then can be shared with readers and consumers. The stories can consume insights previously uncovered through use of our existing SAP data warehouse tools (reports, dashboards) as well as other sources (Tableau, Power BI, Office 365 etc..), or just freeform comments maintained by the author.

So, whether your story is about a current business problem, the status of an important project, or just a single place to see the status of your business or customers, the StoryBuilder can be your one-stop shop that all users can rely on as their one version of the truth, regardless of the source of that truth.

Key Business Benefits:

• Better information sharing for business users
• Fosters collaboration between users and their insight
• Great productivity enhancers, as one story can replace endless hours of data wrangling and presentation creation
