Case Study - Tenneco
Cost reduction, improvement of communication, leveling of production losses.
Partnership with SIGNALO involving the implementation of a number of our systems.
- Increase in productivity
- Optimizing the use of resources
- Cost reduction
Challenge
To maintain its position as one of the leaders in the automotive industry, TENNECO must provide an optimized work environment in which people, equipment and technology work together seamlessly. Employees rely on properly managed and maintained equipment to achieve their production goals, so efficient resource management is a top priority for the company. Previously, TENNECO used various point solutions.
The result was inefficient and inconsistent processes that made it difficult for teams to ensure that resources were used and maintained in the most cost-effective, compliant and productive way.
TENNECO wanted to adopt a more simplified and integrated approach to production management, maintenance and intralogistics. This would ensure better visibility and control of resources and would enable TENNECO to maintain very high standards in the functioning of the production process.
Transformation
New level of comunication.
- Based on the demonstrated needs, SIGNALO configured proprietary systems FORKFLEET and SKILLSMATRIX, and provided communication equipment (station tablets, trolley tablets, information boards).
- As a result, leaders and employees gained access to real-time data on breakdowns and calls, which allowed to reduce the times of intralogistics deliveries, intervention of leaders and the maintenance department.
- SIGNALO has also configured appropriate, web-accessible administration panels with advanced reporting functionalities that help to make optimization decisions.
- SKILLSMATRIX allowed for the ongoing monitoring of employees’ skills, training planning and machine staffing.

TENNECO improved the visibility and control of the company’s assets, helping teams work more efficiently. From one point of control, people can see exactly what crashes are happening, where they occur and how long it takes to fix them.
Employees receive clear messages regarding current tasks and their progress is monitored and assessed on the basis of substantive guidelines.
Comprehensive process tracking and reliable metrics enable teams to make more informed decisions about maintenance planning, service delivery, budgets, hiring, and more.
For example, when it comes to work orders, supervisors can now see how many work orders are open, which orders are currently being processed, queued or viewed, and so on. They can also view indicators such as the time it takes to execute different types of work orders, whether there are areas where certain orders are delayed, or whether more orders are processed during certain times of the year.
With this type of insight, the company’s management team can more easily identify areas for improvement, make better use of existing resources, and more accurately forecast future demand.
