Emerson Proces Managment has built its reputation as a leader
in the power industry through its commitment and dedication
to the customer. That's why we benchmark every Premier Services
performance improvement program before and after program implementation.
We have the resources to build programs that adapt and grow
with your organization, change with market demands and meet
your needs today, and tomorrow. We estimate the program's
financial return, measure program impact, and validate the
results. Then, we integrate the results and lessons learned
to ensure sustained results.
The strength of Premier Services lies in directing its benefits
towards fleet-wide optimization considering plant/unit specific
constraints. Premier Services delivers measurable and sustainable
benefits, those which have a broad, positive impact across
the generating fleet. In addition to the quantifiable benefits
noted in the chart below, Premier Services offers additional
intangible benefits such as:
- Better governance through standardization of business
processes, practices, and performance metrics
- Strategically aligned plant level systems
- Cost reductions through efficient deployment of resources
in operations, maintenance, procurement and management of
plant level systems
- Better leverage of existing investments in automation,
people and related resources
- A results-driven tool that provides set-points against
which progress and effectiveness of a given program can
be measured
Our methodology and tools, coupled with sound engineering
acumen and economic evaluation can also deliver significant
measurable benefits. The chart below provides just a few examples
of typical program results.
