FLSmidth to support Heidelberg with new service agreement concept
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
PRESS RELEASE
FLSmidth has agreed with Heidelberg on a one year service agreement contract to
support their cement plant in Kjøpsvik in Norway.
The service agreement between the second largest cement producer in the world,
Heidelberg, and FLSmidth is based on a partnership between FLSmidth's global
team of specialists and the Heidelberg Kjøpsvik operators and process
engineers. The FLSmidth team will real-time monitor and diagnose the plant and
advise the Kjøpsvik process operators and process engineers on improvements,
increasing availability and reducing operating costs, while at the same time
ensuring the plant will maximize its performance.
"Optimising equipment performance is difficult without the access to a wide
range of specialists. It is not easy for customers with plants often in remote
corners of the world to recruit specialists. We have an experienced global
specialist team ready to support the customers at all hours of the day anywhere
in the world," says Vice President, Global R&D, FLSmidth Customer Services,
Skage Hem.
Service is increasingly important for FLSmidth and a growing business; in the
last quarter alone service business across FLSmidth grew 24% compared with the
same quarter last year. Although global growth has slowed down, the equipment of
many of our existing customers still needs to be maintained and optimised in
order to increase the productivity of the plant. With more than 90% of the
lifecycle cost of cement plants being OPEX cost, service agreements are an area
of continued growth potential for FLSmidth. And the gap between the best and the
worst run processes point to the fact that there is a valuable improvement
potential for operating the plants better.
"Customers are increasingly looking to us to support them in getting the most
out of their production; we know the equipment, and how to maintain and run it
to increase availability and performance," says Skage Hem and continues:
"Knowledge-based service is about ensuring that we help customers increase their
productivity; even a minor improvement in productivity results in substantial
financial gains for the customer."
