1. Vision and Roadmap for
Company X
Transformational Project

2. Meeting Objectives
• Obtain consensus on
Automation/Business information
standards (the Roadmap)
• Show Benefits and Cost Savings of the
LSI Project methodology as applied to HB
Fuller global manufacturing

3. Benefits of the LSI Approach
 There will be the foundation in place for a world class
manufacturing operation if the methodologies presented
are adopted
 Ability to proactively analyze and correct production
delays and quality issues though standard reporting tools
and KPI’s
 Scalable solutions to fit both the individual plant needs
and the needs of the entire enterprise
 Up to 50% less time and money spent on commissioning
and having new/upgraded systems in full production in
70% less time

7. Summary of Benefits of the LSI
Approach
 Up to 50% less time spent on commissioning and the plant is
in full production in less time. Startup support is currently
estimated at $2-4MM for HB Fuller transformational project.
Roadmap adoption will result in savings of $1-2MM
 Startup to full production in 70% less time
 30% less hardware required for spares for individual plants
 50% less control software development time and
implementation
 Up to a 40% reduction in MES and SCADA level software
development and deployment costs
 Common “language” for talking production performance and
KPI’s
 Foundation in place for a world class manufacturing operation

11. Engineering Process
 Scope and Specifications clearly defined and written:
 Business requirements defined and agreed upon
 Functional and Operational requirements defined and
agreed upon
 Hardware and Software Design and implementation built
around the agreed upon requirements
 Appropriate simulation techniques used based on agreed
upon requirements
 Factory acceptance testing completed based on agreed upon
requirements
Benefit: Faster, smoother startups. “Eliminate the white knuckle
ride of startups” – Up to 50% less time spent on commissioning
and the plant is in full production in less time.

15. Standard PLC Hardware Platforms
and Tools
 Limited number of select hardware vendors and select products
chosen within product vendor’s portfolios for automation projects
 Common hardware platform reduces spare parts requirements
across the enterprise
 Common software tools can be used to reduce software
development costs
 Appropriate vendors chosen by region based on support models
and available spare parts and product support (i.e. Siemens
strong in Europe, Rockwell Automation in North America). LSI is
a solution partner for both companies
 Vendors will be standardized at each facility for both process
and packaging
Benefit: 30% less hardware required for spares for individual plants,
50% less software control development and implementation time Back

16. Common SCADA/MES Software
Platform
 Common software and data platform to reduce development and
deployments costs
 Object based data structures (i.e. mixers, reactors, etc.) for HMI
and for reporting
 MES functionality such as OEE, Process Historians, Production
reporting, etc.
 Ability to give plant wide and enterprise wide views via a web
interface
 Ability to give and “Executive” view and a “Plant view” as
required
 Software objects are built independent of the hardware platform
and simply “tied to” objects in the appropriate control system
 Worldwide acceptance and support
 LSI is a solution provider for Wonderware and for Intellution
Benefit: Up to a 40% reduction in SCADA and MES software
development and deployment costs

17. Reporting Capabilities
The common set of reporting tools will allow HB Fuller to
speak a “common language” across all plants (i.e. OEE to
track reporting in packaging, batch reports like the one below,
etc.)
Back

18. What is OEE?
OEE (Overall Equipment
Effectiveness) = Availability x
Performance x Quality
Where:
1. Availability = Available Time
/ Scheduled Time
2. Performance = (Parts
Produced * Ideal Cycle
Time) / Available Time
3. Quality = Good Units / Units
Started

20. Standard Packaging Vendors and
MES/OEE Strategy
 Where new packaging machines will be installed, the following will be
recommended by region:
 Common PLC vendors
 Common motion control vendors
 Common field device vendors
 Common reporting interface specified by LSI through a standard set
of tags: Running/Stopped, Automatic/Manual, Package Count, Faults
(where they can be automatically detected), etc.
 Where packaging equipment will be retained and vendors will not be
changed, the common reporting interface as detailed above will be
developed
