Reengineering in materials management - a business case analysis at Ontario Hydro
Ontario Hydro performed an asssessment of the total business organization and operations in it`s nuclear program of 20 reactors. Procurement of replacement components had become very costly. A reengineering of the process was necessary. It was revealed that the business practices were not aligned in a manner that would allow the implementation of materials reengineering. From the beginning, the project recognized that the solutions must involve people, processes, and technology. This case study has shown the way that people, processes, and technology are being used to implement process reengineering. In addition, the engineering effort has provided a framework that allows for a true net savings to each unit of approximately $25 million annually in personnel and efficiency costs while upgrading the ability to maintain regulatory compliance and nuclear safety.
