Chemical Process
As Chemical and Process industries run at maximum capacity to meet growing demand, there is a ongoing pressure to decrease costs and improve profitability.
Several key challenges are faced by these industries:
• Global expansion to accommodate new product offerings
• Increasing costs, with projects averaging 40% over budget (due to inefficiencies, increased outsourcing expense, and rising raw materials prices)
• Expansion in outsourcing and offshoring, with most moving to Asia
• Environmental and security concerns forcing plants to adapt to newer technologies
• Shrinking skilled-labor pool, where 50% will retire in the next 10 years
As the leading provider of project and portfolio management solutions to the Chemical and Process industries, Primavera understands these challenges.
Our solutions enable effective planning and execution of projects that drive your business, no matter how large or small.
