MAJIQ Project Methodology

Some examples of process improvements that we can bring to your mill operations are common in any pulp or paper operation, while others are unique to the particular set-up of an individual mill.

Some concrete examples of the kinds of improvements we have brought to customers include:

The MAJIQ consultants go into pulp and paper operations, spend time in the study and analysis of the operation, and learn from system users about how they use the software to manage their mill processes. Almost every mill, for example, has different procedures for accepting a customer order, capturing different kinds of data about the customer and their preferences. Our consulting services ensure that software is adapted to your unique needs, whether it is in customer orders or warehousing and loading.

Improving Mill Efficiency and Productivity

A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) for a pulp and paper operation represents a significant investment of time and money. But this investment can produce enormous returns in efficiency and productivity. Effective use of information systems can help you get the most out of  the enormous capital investment in equipment. You can even improve productivity on older machinery by introducing new methods and processes, as well as system controls that improve efficiency.

At the beginning of a customer engagement our consultants survey your mill methods and processes to understand your existing operations. How do orders flow through the mill? Where are the production bottlenecks?  Which functions are already automated?

Once they have learned more about mill operations, MAJIQ staff will meet with mill personnel to understand their goals and aspirations for an automated MES system. These conversations give our consultants a view of the highest priority areas for improvement and the mill’s goals for improving efficiency and productivity. MAJIQ listens carefully to the goals that customers want to accomplish with a new system so that the systems analysis phase can achieve best results..

After a survey of mill operations and a consultation with customers about their goals for the system, MAJIQ conducts a thorough analysis of potential automated solutions. We look at methods of re-engineering processes to improve their cost-effectiveness. We analyze all of the information available to reach a deeper understanding about technical solutions that can meet the customers’ goals with an MES.

Having completed a thorough analysis, MAJIQ presents the results to the customer and offers its consulting services to complete the project. The final analysis incorporates the experience and expertise of a group of technology professionals who are experts in implementing systems for the pulp and paper industry. Their collective technical and industry knowledge is unparalleled.

Many pulp and paper IT systems are installed in phases. At each step of the way MAJIQ can work with plant personnel to define the level of automation necessary to achieve productivity goals. Throughout both implementation and maintenance phases in your IT projects, our consultants are engaged with customers to ensure that their system investments yield results. Remaining engaged with our customers beyond installation brings us a deeper, continuous understanding of the goals and aspirations of future system development efforts.
