Case Study: PotashCorp improves scheduling, analytics, and mobility with Prometheus Group

World’s Largest Fertilizer Company Selects Prometheus Group Solutions for Scheduling, Analytics, and Mobility

PotashCorp, the world's largest fertilizer company, faced operational challenges stemming from its rapid growth through acquisitions, which resulted in multiple vendors, disparate processes, and inconsistent reporting across its global facilities. To drive continuous improvement, they initiated a project to align their operations using best practices and selected solutions from the Prometheus Group, building upon their existing Oracle EBS system.

The Prometheus Group implemented its Planning & Scheduling, Reporting & Analytics, and Mobility solutions for Oracle. This allowed PotashCorp to efficiently schedule a larger volume of work, achieving the capability to run 100 work orders per week per site. The measurable impact was significant, with work now scheduled four weeks in advance for 80% of work orders, a major improvement from one week. Planners also saved an estimated 30 minutes per work order in the field using the mobile solution. The Prometheus Group solutions provided one source of truth for data, enabled global KPIs for the first time, and created synergies across sites.
