Millennium Chemicals selects Opralog software

Infotechnics has been awarded a contract by Millennium Chemicals to supply its Opralog electronic logging software to improve the company's communications.

The contract will see Infotechnics operational logging software Opralog rolled out initially across the Millennium Chemicals's UK manufacturing site in Stallingborough, Grimsby.

In 2008 Millennium Chemicals focused its global business strategy on stability, higher productivity and reduced costs, and Opralog is to be implemented as part of the group's commitment to continuous improvement.

Mike Huntley, team leader for operating disciplines at Millennium Chemicals, Stallingborough, said: 'We are introducing an electronic database to manage communications, from the shift operator's log through to the equipment and process evaluations.

'Until now we have used a number of different methods to capture this information, including paper logs, spreadsheets and databases.

'Opralog allows the equipment and process evaluations to be designed so that the operator can recognise and act on the early signs of a problem.

'The benefits of having consistent data readily accessible throughout the organisation will include improved equipment reliability, particularly with our rotating equipment, together with associated improvements in the areas of HSE, maintenance and operations cost performance.'.
