The client, a manufacturer of fine chemicals, was faced with the prospect of their raw material supply undergoing substantial change. A change they could not avoid. With the changed raw materials, it would not be operations as usual. Accommodating the change would make operations difficult and increase costs. The client approached Praxys to figure out the best way to handle this change.

Praxys studied the process, the operations, and the raw material supply. It presented the client with a solution that modified the new raw material in a manner that:

• the impact on operations and
• the cost of implementing the solution

would be much lower than otherwise.

Praxys engaged with stakeholders at multiple levels, in multiple functions, to get buy-in for the solution thus paving the way for smooth implementation.

We understand chemical processes. We also understand operations. And the people that run them. Combining that with our ability to engage in systems thinking helps us provide clients with solutions that are theoretically sound and practically implementable.
