Case Study: a leading deep-water drilling company streamlines HR crewing with BPM-D

HR Rapid Process Improvement Project at a drilling company

BPM-D helped a leading deep-water drilling company address a major strain on its HR department. Due to a significant business upturn, the company was struggling with an inefficient, siloed end-to-end crewing process that had to handle over 37,000 annual applicants, creating bottlenecks and high error rates.

Using its Rapid Process Improvement approach, BPM-D mapped the entire process, identified over 100 issues, and defined 19 detailed work-packages for implementation. In just two months, BPM-D enabled the company to launch a structured change program. The results included a redesigned approval cycle, reduced manual transactions, decreased reliance on third parties, and the establishment of procedures to eliminate critical bottlenecks and enable continual growth.
