PROJECT KVIL, Russia

Kvil is a family owned Paint and Coatings Company based in Russia.

Problem statement

Kvil has a large assortment of formulas offering products across the Coatings categories but also differing quality levels within individual categories.
The business had grown quickly and had an excellent reputation for both quality and service. Maintaining these key customer requirements of quality and service and meeting service level expectations while the product portfolio grew was proving a challenge to the management team and threatened the long term growth potential.

Prior to meeting the DromontGroup the owners of Kvil had envisaged future growth would involve the building of a significantly larger new factory and a large investment in a range of capital equipment. All of this was envisaged to accommodate the volume growth, the diversity in formula growth and the resultant growth in raw materials and finished goods.

What did the Dromont Group do for Kvil?

After an initial meeting between Kvil and the DromontGroup a full review was commissioned employing the full range of Qoncept tools. The reviews scope began with the current and future business strategy of Kvil. The impacts of this strategy and resultant growth on raw materials, formulas, packaging variations, batch sizes, batch frequency, finished goods inventory and fundamental to all of this cost. A number of significant other variables were overlaid on this namely seasonality and the expected irregularity of the growth pattern.

Over a period of 90 days the Qoncept Tools were utilised to organise all of these datapoints and variables and a Value Chain Plan and Process Plan created that matched and supported Kvil’s exciting growth strategies.

In summary Kvil was able to undertake a full scale development of its manufacturing process supported by data driven support. The capital investment proposition was reset and further explored and re-justified through Qoncept.

The final output enabled a significant reduction from the originally envisaged plant size, reducing anticipated construction costs and ongoing energy and maintenance costs. The Qoncept programs enabled the smart usage of raw material handling and holding, identified tools to accelerate dispersing and dispensing and utilise the latest thinking regarding Inline filling technology. These smart technologies also enabled a high level of flexibility being built into the plant and plant processes, reducing significantly the original Capital Investment budget.

Problem statement

We had an urgent need to move our solvent based production facility from its original city centre location to a more appropriate purpose built facility in an industrial area.

In relocating the facility we also had the desire to modernise our production and production processes. We knew that some manufacturers were taking a radical approach to restructuring their processes with some quite startling results. We researched potential partners and through a process of research and recommendation we were introduced to the Dromont Group.

What did the Dromont Group do for BOYSEN?

Initially using the full range of Qoncept tools we analysed the complete production data of the old factory, evaluated the raw material and product portfolio and carried out a complete risk assessment. From this analysis we modelled potential changes in raw materials, product portfolio, production and finished goods. Essentially we modelled the entire Value Chain. From that data bank we then with considerable collaboration built a complete model for a new factory with all the associated plant and equipment.

Boysen added certain specifications to our proposal

1. Boysen wanted significant flexibility. Small colored batches, but also the possibility of making large colored batches within the same process. Incorporation of a wide variety of diverse formula families and products: alkyd coating, primers, aluminium paints, road paints.
Solution: Comec dispersion system for the preparation of concentrated dyes (colorant concentrated). Big dispersers to make large batches and we supplied Selecta and Micro xto make small batches.

2. They wanted to build this new factory without disrupting production or stopping the existing factory.
Solution: through the extensive modelling and project planning functionality of Qoncept no business disruption was created through the entire change process.
