A Look back at the Fall 2008 Workshop
October
21, 2008, at Kloster Eberbach in Eltville
The
BayOpX® workshop held this fall saw the series of "Operational Excellence" events
enter the third round. Once again, the event generated an impressive response
from Bayer Technology Services' customers. On October 21, some 40 customers
from the Rhine/Main sales region and other areas of Germany visited Kloster
Eberbach in Eltville to see Bayer Technology Services' experts present
methods and strategies for putting "Operational Excellence" into practice in
production and operations.

The core objective of the workshop was to use specific examples to give participants a better understanding of BayOpX®, the integrated service solution for "Operational Excellence". To that end, this year's presentations focused on the topic of overall equipment efficiency.

With BayOpX®, Bayer Technology Services' customers receive comprehensive technological consulting services, along with intelligent and innovative technology solutions designed to boost their overall equipment efficiency. The experts from Bayer Technology Services start by identifying potential for improvement in production and process development before offering targeted, professional support in unlocking and utilizing this potential to the full. This in turn ensures resources and energy are used more efficiently, emissions levels are reduced, and asset availability as well as working capital is optimized. This represents a significant and sustainable competitive advantage for customers – and an important step toward the future.

“This event has allowed us to give our customers a clearer insight into the BayOpX® service package for "Operational Excellence". The response from customers and the interest expressed in further collaboration demonstrates that there is considerable demand for future-proof optimization concepts within the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. BayOpX® is the perfect way to meet this demand," Dr. Helmut Mothes, Head of Process Technology, summed up at the conclusion of the event.
