About The Customer
Grain Processing Corporation (GPC) is a leading U.S. manufacturer of corn-based products. They operate multiple production facilities and are required to comply with the Clean Air Act Title V. This involves tracking and reporting numerous emission sources and points at their various production facilities. The company was previously using SharePoint to manage over 20 daily logs at two facilities, with several questions per log and per shift, throughout a two-shift day. However, this system lacked reporting or notifications, and there was no consistency between the forms in the system.
The Challenge
Grain Processing Corporation (GPC), a leading U.S. manufacturer of corn-based products, was struggling with an inefficient system for tracking and reporting compliance parameters for the Clean Air Act Title V. They were using SharePoint to enter over 20 daily logs at two facilities, with several questions per log and per shift, throughout a two-shift day. Their system lacked reporting or notifications, and there was no consistency between the forms in the system. The EHS manager would spend weeks searching through information to obtain the data needed for GPC’s annual Title V certification report and other reporting needs.
The Solution
To simplify and standardize data collection and reporting, GPC selected Locus' configurable Platform software solution. Locus Platform was chosen for its ability to be quickly configured to match existing business processes across operating facilities and easily implement changes in permit recordkeeping requirements over time. A dedicated project team at Locus and GPC identified improvements that could be made in Locus Platform from GPC's existing internal system. The collaborative team developed a comprehensive set of requirements that helped fast-track the project to a timely deployment that met or exceeded the GPC user community's expectations. Within six months, the new system was in daily use, and adoption by the remaining facility locations followed soon after.
Operational Impact
  • GPC was able to create a uniform business process across its Midwest facilities by using Locus Platform's configurable data entry screens and flexible reporting dashboards.
  • The focused reporting capabilities of the software made it easy for GPC to generate consistent, easy-to-read reports.
  • The Locus Platform allowed iterative, streamlined configuration of data entry forms with built-in validation to match GPC's specific business needs and nomenclature.
  • The flexibility and ease of configuration, including standardized rules and validations, allowed GPC to streamline a previously cumbersome and error-prone process and gain user acceptance in record time.
Quantitative Benefit
  • The new system was in daily use within six months.
  • Adoption by the remaining facility locations followed soon after.
