“The MVT® Process is the way that we improve the things

that we do through testing and letting the process tell us the

way it behaves – as opposed to the way we think it behaves.

We’re a commodity chemical company, so we use it in our

manufacturing operation and it improves the way we run. It

improves the quality of our products. It improves the cost. It

helps us make more stuff, so we can sell more stuff. All those

bring financial benefits for us.”

– Gene Bolick, Director of Operational Excellence, Olin Chlor Alkali

“So these were really great projects we did. They are going to bring an awful lot of money to the bottom line,

and we are able to do them quickly at very little cost. The cost of the experiment is nothing compared to what we saved. We think we’ll get 100x back. It’s amazing when

you sit down and think about the power of MVT and what it can really do for you.”

–Phillips 66, Andy Viens, President of Global Marketing
