Journey Towards Excellence |

|
|
The Journey Towards Excellence (J2E) programme is a company initiative actively focused towards improving our Refining & Marketing performance.
It is an integrated and holistic five-year program that targets all the areas that impact on the performance of Refining and Marketing, either directly or indirectly and will result in sustainable improvements in our performance in health, safety and the environment (HSE) as well as our financial performance. This will be achieved through more effective and efficient ways of working by the implementation/re-introduction of management systems, business processes, tools and techniques and by renewing the skills and capabilities of our people all within a culture of performance and accountability where people are proud of their work and their company.
Quantitatively, this program targets financial benefits of US$0.70 per barrel, which amounts to US$35 million annually.
Phase 1 of the J2E program started in December 2002. In this Phase Petrotrin: |
