Accomplishments
- The plant I worked at experienced frequent modular trips due to inefficiencies within the water balance system. These trips resulted in millions of rands being lost each month, and corrective action was desperately needed. Through cross functional teamwork and collaboration, the team managed to eliminate all water balance trips and ensure higher modular uptimes which resulted in 90% Increased operational availability and tempo.
