Initiative name ID Provided by DT PMO | Robustify Energy Optimization solution | |||
Description of the initiative | In a highly volatile market for energy, and a very competitive commodity business, being able to take educated and real time decisions can contribute to optimizing the variable cost of production (few hundreds of K€/year savings). It will also avoid inappropriate operation mode where we could destroy a high amount of value in a short time (several hundreds of K€/year cost avoidance).
Create an interface to automate data gathering from already existing tools, in order to ensure requestors are autonomous and do not need to wait for manual action. Ensure the optimization and implementation of best configuration possible | |||

Phase 1: Envision - High level initiatives
Understand: Why is this initiative proposed? What are the consequences if not done? What are the new capabilities expected?
|
|
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?
Maximise usage of Energy optimization solutions to decrease energy-intensive specific consumptions |
1.2. Benefits
What are the new capabilities expected?
What will it replace? Is it a new solution or an existing one?
| integration of existing solution |
1.3. Target users
Who are the future users?
Identify the future users (BU, sites...) and population concerned
| GBU (Energy) |
What is the number of users impacted?
| 10 |
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,...)
The value creation is the reduction of the production variable cost, driven by a reduction of steam cost thanks to adopting the optimal configuration of the power plant depending on the energy and CO2 prices.
The impact of a robustified solution is estimated to be 10% of the total project value which is currently estimated to 2.4M€/year for 6 sites (Dombasle, Torrelavega, Rheinberg, Rosignano, Bernburg, Devnya).
See also slides 27 to 31 (especially 31) of https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X_WaCiAGBI5C7T1RE4JNDAHqm96uNVMg
1.5. Business goals
How does the product / deliverable align with the business goals?
Reduction of the production variable cost, driven by a reduction of steam cost thanks to adopting the optimal configuration of the power plant depending on the energy and CO2 prices. The impact of a robustified solution is estimated to be 10% of the total project value which is currently estimated to 2.4M€/year for 5 sites.(Dombasle, Torrelavega, Rheinberg, Rosignano, Bernburg, Devnya). Have support and maintenance documentation. Potential need to add other 14 application to grant full robustification of energy optimization envelope (+252k€) |
1.6. Challenges
Are there any challenges in developing the product?
| Platform availability, GEC availability |
1.7. Business metrics
How will we measure success?
| variation of significant KPIs at GBU level |
1.8. Cybersecurity
Please duplicate this template and contact the SIP team in order to get your corresponding folder. Then, for the envision phase, answer to 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
| being managed with cybersecurity directly |
1.9- Involvment of Data Domains
If your initiative is working with data, please select the domain which is impacted:
- Marketing & Sales (for examples: Customer & Market segment / Price conditions & CMIR)
- Supply Chain Management (for examples: Routes & Rates)
- Procurement (for examples: Master data: Vendors, Contracts, Material (Group)/ Reference Data: Payment terms, Structures)
- Finance (for examples: Management (MAC)/ Financial (FAC)/ Treasury)
- HR (for examples: HR Master Data (Employee, Personal, Identity))
- Industrial (for examples: BOM, Asset Hierarchy, MES Tag, Process Batch)
- R&I (for examples: Products, Equipments/ Projects)
- Structures & shared referential (for examples: Structures/ Shared referential data/ Finished goods)
- Sustainability
1.10. Up to investment
Estimated Delivery phase start date*
| Estimated Delivered end Quarter* Q4 2023 |

|---|---|---|---|
Estimated size of investment (high level) | 180 |
What is the coherent run and build commit on the initiative?
Only run cost impact - TCO over 10Y will be finalized during the strategize phaseEstimated additional run costs (estimation high level) per year on xxYear (xx= duration of the contract if known) - None | Type of savings expected /year for DT (Ex: Contracts, FTE, ...) |
|
Please add here the required envelop needed to work on the strategize phase - if needed (maximum 40k€) :
1.11. Resources
What skills and talents do we need?
Here kind of skills required in order to start to fill the Capacity Planning. If name already available please write the name

2.2. Users needs
What do users dislike about the current solution?
Applicable when a new solution is developed
| Robustness of DAta not guaranteed, lack of documentation, no GUI to use optimization application |
What tools or features do your users wish to have?
| what-if scenario, more interaction with the application |
What value will it add to the user´s lives?
| better interaction with the field, higher usage time |
What alternative do we have?
2.3. Overall Service Delivery Management for a project
A standardised process for creating and introducing services. It may sound basic, but Service Design and Introduction should be considered at the very beginning of the project.
- Moving through the various project stages from Envision, strategize (requirements gathering) to planning, delivering value and testing before deploying the service.
- Embedding service introduction activities into project delivery, with defined success criteria at each stage avoids a re-work which can negatively impact the project in terms of time, cost and quality.
Who is the service owner?
What is the target?
Which platform will maintain the new service?
2.4. Risk Analysis
What are the risks (refer to Risk analysis matrix in Accolade)?
Are there any internal / external constraints and what are the preventive actions associated?
Identify risks and mitigation plans
2.5. Solvay One Planet Objectives
What is the qualitative assessment of Hardware/ Data processing/ Project’s contribution to Solvay One Planet?
- Is the business ambition you will support improving or not sustainability? - Will you increase or decrease the number of hardware we need to operate? How much ? - Will you generate or transfer an important amount of data, especially videos? How much? |
