First, let´s start with the Problem space
1.1. Reason
* Why is this initiative proposed today?
Explain what are the motivations and the expected objective behind this initiative/ what are the consequences if not done?
The performance of the predictive model is drifting and does not bring the same level of value anymore. A review of the model is required to recover this lost value.
1.2. Benefits
What are the new capabilities expected?
More robust model with reviewed technology and techniques.
What will it replace? Is it a new solution or an existing one?
Will replace the existing model.
1.3. Target users
Who are the future users?
Identify the future users (BU, sites...) and population concerned
Soda Ash GBU / Rheinberg production site / Production Team
What is the number of users impacted?
5-10 (production engineer + operators)
What about the Business Needs?
1.4. Value proposition
What is the value of the initiative?
Financial Business expectation (ROI, benefits, savings,...) + Qualitative Business expectation (business value, market fit, visibility,...)
Improvement of 1% of the yield taking as a base line from the 8th of July 2021 until 16th of February 2023. From 73.4% to 74.4%.
That is 340k€ / year.
ROI is approx. 3 months.
1.5. Business goals
How does the product / deliverable align with the business goals?
Reduction of variable cost to improve competitiveness.
1.6. Challenges
Are there any challenges in developing the product?
Several approaches will be tested to find the best model. There is a risk that none of the solution will bring the expected value.
1.7. Business metrics
How will we measure success?
R² : comparing the forecasted yield with the real yield
Evolution of the yield
1.8. Cybersecurity
Please duplicate this template in this folder. Then, for the envision phase, answerto the initiative card tab and to the 7 high-level questions in the "Security Scoring" tab. These questions will help the SIP team to determine the level of cybersecurity & compliance support you will need. Please contact the team by email: @SIP_team@solvay.com
If not able to answer yet, explain it at the Envision gate and it will be the DTLT to decide if green light or not considering with the high level of uncertainty
1.9. Up to investment

Estimated Delivery phase start date*
Estimated Delivered end Quarter*
Mid-July 2023
What is the coherent money to commit on the initiative?*
2023 (in K€)*
2024 (in K€)*
2025 (in K€)
Estimated size of investment (high level)
75
What is the coherent run and build commit on the initiative?
Only run cost impact - TCO over 10Y will be finalized during the strategize phase
Estimated run costs (estimation high level) - on 10Y (if already known)
No additional run cost
Type of savings expected /year for DT (Ex: Contracts, FTE, ...)
No expected saving for DT
1.10. Resources

Identify squad resources (naming)
Write user stories
Now, we can move on to the Solution space

Comparison of several models
Selection of the new model
Deloyment of the choose model
Industrialization of the solution
