Procter & Gamble speeds time-to-market with AVEVA software

Procter & Gamble (P&G), founded in 1837, is an American multinational. From its beginnings as Cincinnati's leading candle and soap manufacturer, the company has since specialized in consumer goods (hygiene and beauty).

Ariel, Braun, Febreze, Gillette, Head & Shoulders, Monsieur Propre, Oral-B, Pampers, Tampax and Pantene are just some of the company's globally successful brands.Procter & Gamble has standardized on AVEVA software in its 90 factories worldwide, and today speeds up time-to-market for a wide range of health and hygiene products. The AVEVA System Platform software acts as an important foundation for giving all teams access to monitoring and controlling bottlenecks with real-time data on all manufacturing processes.

We support P&G's Industry 4.0 initiatives, in 90 plants and 65 production lines

Data unification, reporting and key performance indicators, cost reduction... thanks to AVEVA software, we're supporting Industry 4.0 initiatives within P&G, in 90 plants and 65 production lines.
Let's take a closer look at the main thrusts of the project:

Challenges : 

• Lack of operational visibility
• Costly and repetitive work to redevelop a system for each plant
• Lack of collaboration between cross-functional teams due to compartmentalized data access

Objectives : 

• Enable P&G to implement standards across all its plants to reduce costs and present data from multiple sources in a unified display
• Improve decision-making and collaboration by giving employees real-time visibility of data
• P&G's global presence across 90 plants means that the AVEVA software platform can be fully leveraged through standardized deployment and seamless integration with other systems, including regional IS departments and various technology partners.

The benefits : 

• P&G imposes standards across all its plants to unify data, provide 360° reporting and KPIs, and reduce implementation costs.
• The widespread development of graphical and functional object models enables P&G to standardize implementation and training across its global network of integrators.
• Teams benefit from greater flexibility, facilitated by access to real-time data to identify anomalies and trends.
  
  

How to adopt an integrated approach to industrial operations management to involve all the company's stakeholders?

With AVEVA software, operational efficiency in manufacturing plants is within reach. Procter & Gamble is a case in point. Increasing efficiency requires visibility over all stages of production, so that teams can quickly make tangible decisions and optimize line and process efficiency.

I'd like to invite you to read our white paper, in which you'll discover how to adopt an integrated approach to industrial operations management, so as to involve all your company's stakeholders, from the plant floor to management, while keeping your investment under control. We'll also highlight how some of the world's leading companies are deploying successful digitization initiatives.

Connect operations with the whole company

Operations are carried out by numerous teams with different functions, each requiring cross-functional capabilities that cover a wide range of operating time scales. Whether it's the millisecond requirements of the factory automation layer, or the minute, hourly or even daily requirements of enterprise systems, teams need access to the right tools at the right time to achieve performance targets.

To enable a new way of working, companies need to seamlessly connect operations with employees.

A flexible solution - available on-premise, in hybrid form or in the cloud - enables the development, visualization and analysis of data so that users can efficiently execute tasks on time and across disparate work cells. AVEVA Operations Control provides a common, data-centric foundation for knowledge transfer, improving collaboration and sharing best practices, and fostering actionable intelligence. When users understand the business, they can make timely, well-informed decisions.
