MC COY I/* Wilmington, Delaware August 4, 1982 COST REDUCTION PROGRAM 1982 FIRST 6 MONTHS' RESULTS HIGHLIGHTS Year-to-date savings through June total $35.4MM, 68% of their commitment for the year, 47% of goal. The "current estimate" of year-end savings is $77MM, equal to goal, and 148% of the commitment for the year. Five plants predict a shortfall vs. commitment, while 9 plants predict exceeding goal. Sixteen plants anticipate achieving savings of over $1MM. Ten have already done so. Three large plants are now forecasting they will not meet their original commitment (Beaumont, LaPorte, and Memphis). Their combined commitment is $7.7MM. They anticipate achieving $6.5MM, a shortfall of $1.2MM, which is more than made up by other large plants. In general, most of the plants are having trouble achieving their goal savings in the ingredient category due to lower-thanforecast production rates. This is more than offset by greaterthan-anticipated personnel reductions. The following comments are intended to point up where we are having difficulty meeting our commitments and goals and the off setting highlights -- by exception: Beaumont's modest shortfall vs. committed ($133M) is accounted for by cancellation of yield optimization program. Manpower was shifted to work on the new plant. Chambers Works is predicting an $18.2MM savings for C&P vs. a goal of $17.3MM. The improvement is essentially all in the labor and salaries category -- accomplished through personnel reductions. Savings from their other programs are expected to be as forecast. DUP050145777 N 26468.01 ADDRESSEES 2 8/4/82 Comments (Cont'd) Cleveland is having trouble, as are most of the plants, in achieving predicted ingredient savings due to low production rates and/or postponed savings projects. Fortunately, lavor savings have off set this to a large extent. Deer Park overall is on target vs. "committed". Meeting goal would require higher capacity operation. DeLisle anticipates exceeding goal by $1.5MM. Reduced use of outside contractors, not forecast, accounts for the large improvement. Other items are on target. East Chicago cost reduction efforts have exceeded expectations mainly in use of H2O2 ($115M), energy ($250M), and personnel reductions ($410M). Edge Moor now anticipates year-end savings of $7.6MM vs. a commit ment of $2.4MM and a goal of $3.5MM. The big tag items behind this are advancing alternate coke use ($1.0MM), improved finishing yield ($0.6MM), reducing substandard production by 75% ($0.5MM), a force reduction valued at $1.3MM, and better-than-expected micronizer control {$0.6MM) . Johnsonville currently estimates it will exceed its goal by nearly $3MM by year-end. Recovered ore feed ($1MM), extended spare part fabrication (S0.4MM), inventory reduction ($0.3MM), and reprocessing of substandard R-101 via dry blending ($0.25MM) accounts for the - majority of the improvement expected. LaPorte estimates it will miss its commitment by $180M, primarily in the field of energy savings (-$126M) limited by production and maintenance materials (-$100M) partially caused by cancelled projects in the sulfuric area. Memphis forecasts a shortfall of $855M or 21% of "firm" primarily due to production rates being lower than forecast -- $1.4MM in energy and $0.67MM in ingredients offset by labor reductions greater than forecast. Newport1s labor and salary reductions will exceed forecast by nearly $0.9MM, roughly 40% of the total "firm" projection according to their current estimate. Niagara expects to exceed their goal by $660M, primarily as a result of improved yields of Teracol from THF ($195M), fuel to steam ratio in power ($200M), and maintenance costs ($229M). Repauno is now estimating labor savings of $1.4MM vs. goal of $0.6MM in that category. This more than offsets difficulties in obtaining forecast ingredient savings due to lower-than-anticipated produc tion rates.
