Case Study: Hemlock Semiconductor boosts maintenance productivity with Prometheus Group

Hemlock Semiconductor Streamlines Plant Maintenance System and Increases Work Capacity Utilization

Hemlock Semiconductor, a leading provider of polycrystalline silicon, faced challenges with a complex SAP system that led to data corruption and inefficiencies. Separate HR and maintenance data made planning difficult, and planners were too overwhelmed with corrective work to schedule vital preventative maintenance. To address this, they worked with Prometheus Group to implement the Prometheus ERP Advanced software solution.

Prometheus Group implemented its ERP Advanced solution to integrate Hemlock's HR and plant maintenance modules, centralizing all data within SAP. This eliminated manual processes and greatly improved data integrity. The results included a 30% increase in productivity, a 30% decrease in non-value-added activities, and the achievement of 80% maintenance capacity utilization. This allowed for an unprecedented 20 hours of weekly preventative maintenance to be scheduled without disrupting operations.
