Cutting costs is easy, sustainable terminal cost competitiveness is not so simple

 

How do you know that your terminals are making the correct cost competitiveness decisions?

Today’s Challenge

Despite the enormous rise in demand for storage, reduced refining activity is leading to reduced transit volumes and this is putting pressure on tank terminal operators. With so much uncertainty beyond your control, the challenge is to focus on what you can control: your terminal’s cost competitiveness.

  • Is our cost structure competitive?
  • If not, how much should we improve and in what areas?
  • What specific actions should we take to improve it?

Your Objectives

The Juran Benchmarking Terminals Cost Competitiveness program allows crude and products terminal operators to leverage the power of comparative data directly from their industry peers to:

  • ACHIEVE COST COMPETITIVENESS.
  • REMOVE THE RISK OF INCORRECT DECISION MAKING.
  • BACK YOUR ROADMAP TO IMPROVEMENT WITH DATA.

What can Benchmarking Deliver?

The Juran Benchmarking Terminals Cost Competitiveness program enables operators to see their performance from an external perspective and optimize their operations by:

  • Identifying the areas to focus on and prioritize
  • Quantifying the correct targets to set
  • Developing a data-backed plan for cost competitiveness
  • Providing evidence to justify your decisions to stakeholders
