Olefin Plant Performance Analysis & Production Benchmarking

Olefin industry dynamics continue to impact the competitive landscape and raise the bar. How do you compare?

With shifting feedstock paradigms, waves of cost-advantaged capacity expansion, growing global derivatives trade, and accelerating technology adoption, the bar continues to rise for companies that want to achieve or maintain their status as a top performer in the olefin industry.

Participating in the Worldwide Olefin Plant Performance Analysis (Olefin Study) delivers the insight you need into your plant’s competitive position. Solomon analyzes plant performance data, benchmarks against peers to identify gaps, and provides insight into where clients should focus their improvement efforts. The benchmarking study results can be used to improve target-setting, prioritize spending, and develop action plans. Solomon experts can also help guide your performance improvement efforts after the study is completed and results delivered by providing you with ongoing expert insight to enable your success.

Study participants will receive individual performance rankings for their facilities on a global, regional, and peer group basis using Solomon’s proprietary metrics and indicators. Participants will also receive metrics and indicators for all peer groups, including historical trends, an economic gap analysis of their plant versus global high-performing peers, an on-site presentation and discussion of study results, and a report of industry trends and insights.
