    Summary

    Most organizations still use manual permitting processes, which can lead to decreased efficiency, increased potential for errors, and low visibility into permitting history. To address these issues, improve safety, and increase uptime, organizations must have full visibility and control of their permitting to maintain consistency throughout the process.

    In this webinar, you’ll learn:

    • How Kuraray -- a global leader in specialty chemical, fiber and resin productions -- improved their permit process by implementing required fields, approval workflows, and mobile accessibility.
    • Permitting and safety best practices that can significantly boost efficiency, reduce delays, and ensure a safer work environment for your organizations.
    •  How to improve processes, including standardization, digital documentation, and integration with maintenance.
