The requirements for site operations are constantly growing and becoming increasingly complex. Chemical companies in particular have considerable potential for optimization in the area of site management. Competitiveness can be significantly increased by delegating the management of parts of the operation or entire production sites.
Two operator models are widely used: In one variant, secondary processes are distributed to various external service providers. The responsibility of site management is to control and coordinate the various suppliers in a secure, targeted and efficient manner, which involves considerable effort. The alternative: the management deploys its own resources to manage the secondary processes. Both models have often worked well for decades. However, due to growing cost pressure and the increasing complexity of tasks, new ways are needed to organize site management more economically and efficiently.
One solution could be a hybrid of the two operator models described above: All trades are bundled under one roof, as in the case of in-house production, but delegated to an external service provider. This goes hand in hand with a delegation of operator responsibility to a large extent. The site service provider guarantees legally compliant and flexibly controllable operation of the secondary processes and ensures that the infrastructure is developed in line with demand. This leads to a considerable reduction in complexity and frees up resources that can be used for the company’s own core business.
