The goal of the manufacturing model is to make operations boring, driving costs lower and lower. In the manufacturing model, with its origins tied back to the days of Henry Ford, operations are standardized as much as possible. No more expensive, volume chasing strategies. Instead, the successful E&Ps of tomorrow will develop an end-to-end well-delivery process that integrates each workflow into a coordinated and efficient operation—from planning to plug and abandonment.
A common understanding of the value steam, capacity, buffers, constraints, and demand signals.
Drill the same well, the same way, on the same pad... every time.
Operations are executed and handoffs occur seamlessly with a consistent lead time, duration and cadence.
Longer term planning horizon (18+ month) that is integrated across functions and operating areas.
Capability to objectively know when you're of trend, identify improvement opportunities, and measure progress.
The organizational capability to sustain the model, identifying incremental opportunities and driving year over year improvements.
"The manufacturing model reduces costs and delivers more value to external constituents."
Before designing the standards, piloting the process, and implementing across the org. for sustainable performance improvement, the first step is to identify the opportunity and set the vision through the following steps:
