One way of working in every plant you run

As an operations director, you are responsible for several plants that should work the same way, but rarely do. With the EZ-GO platform, the standard is at the line in every plant, you compare plants on the same basis, and you roll out one plant at a time.

What an operations director worries about

A serious accident in one of your plants

Safety steps are part of the instruction in every plant, not only in the plant where the procedure was written.

A recall that spreads across markets

Quality and hygiene checks are done and recorded the same way everywhere. Read more on the Quality and hygiene page.

Plants that perform differently, and nobody can explain why

When plants work with the same standard and the same audits, you can compare them.

Growth that brings new ways of working

A new or acquired plant learns your standard faster when the instructions and training are already digital. Read more on the Skills and onboarding page.

Your month, before and after

Moment	Now	With the EZ-GO platform
Monthly site review	Every plant reports in its own format, so you compare numbers that do not mean the same thing.	Plants run the same audits and checklists, and the EZ-GO reporting pack shows them side by side.
A best practice in one plant	It stays in the plant where it started.	You update the standard and share it with the other plants, which adopt it as it is or with local changes.
Staff moving between plants	Every plant works differently, so people need to learn the job again.	The same instructions and training are used in every plant, so people can be deployed where they are needed.
A new or acquired plant	It takes months before the plant works your way.	You start the plant on the EZ-GO platform with your existing standards and train the people there.

Three things that change for you

You compare plants on the same basis

When every plant runs the same audits and checklists, the scores mean the same thing. With the EZ-GO reporting pack and Power BI, you see all plants in one dashboard, so you know where to act. Read more on the Operational excellence page. Common KPIs to compare are lost time accidents for safety, first time right for quality, and OEE for efficiency. Read more about the most important KPIs in production.

The standard stays the same across plants

A standard only stays uniform when someone in each plant owns it. At Refresco, a superuser for each department at each factory translates the best way of working into work instructions and checklists, and the superusers meet regularly to keep the standards aligned.

“At each location, there is such a superuser who coordinates the process. There is regular consultation with these superusers to ensure that standardization is uniform across locations.”

Sandor van Weegberg, Training & Education Manager Benelux, Refresco

People can move between plants

When every plant trains with the same instructions, people can work in another plant without learning everything again. The digital skills matrix shows who masters which skills, so you can plan capacity across lines. Instructions are available in the language of each user, with automatic translation by AI.

Start with one plant, without a long IT program

You do not need a multi-year IT project to begin. You start the EZ-GO platform in one plant, appoint a superuser for each department, and connect the next plants one by one. Many companies combine a quick start at a pilot plant with a faster rollout to the other plants once the first standards work. Read more about a phased or company-wide rollout. Refresco started in the Netherlands and is now implementing the EZ-GO platform at its international locations. The EZ-GO platform connects with tools such as SAP PM, Ultimo, and Power BI, and a data API is available.

Questions operations directors ask

"How do we keep the standard the same in every plant?"

You give the standard an owner in each plant and align regularly, as Refresco does with its superusers. The EZ-GO platform makes the standard visible at the line and shows with audits whether it is followed.

"Does it work in our plants abroad?"

Yes. The EZ-GO app is available in 20 languages, and the text of an instruction can be translated automatically by AI into the language of each user. Because the EZ-GO platform runs in the cloud, every plant works with the same version and gets updates at the same time.

"When does it pay back?"

Customers using the EZ-GO platform have seen a payback period of 6 months. In a short demo, we show you what a business case for your first plant can look like.

One standard. Every plant.
