The Challenge
After several acquisitions, the company faced significant inconsistencies in organizational structures and practices across Maintenance and Engineering. The situation was further complicated by:
- Shared service discontinuation: The withdrawal of the chemical park’s shared service organization forced a complete reassessment of the maintenance setup at one of the company’s largest sites
- Fragmented ways of working: Divergent organizational models created inefficiencies, misalignment, and variable service levels
- Opportunity to transform: The redesign offered a chance to create a more agile, safer, and more reliable maintenance organization aligned with manufacturing needs
Real Results Achieved Together
The redesigned technical organization delivered measurable improvements in safety, effectiveness, and collaboration while establishing a strong foundation for group-wide transformation.
