Lean Production

Arrow is implementing Lean Production to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of every aspect of our business.

As we work towards our target of building a world-class coal seam gas to liquefied natural gas plant, we recognise the importance of carrying out our business in the most efficient ways possible. Lean Production is the name given to reducing waste and improving how the business operates at all levels to return greater value to customers and shareholders.

We believe the high repetition of activities within the upstream coal seam gas business lends itself to the concepts used in a manufacturing environment. Arrow has people producing wells, well sites, flowlines, compression facilities and water treatment plants – all processes that can be refined through Lean Production.

Lean principles have already been introduced in a number of areas and are being used to increase gas sales, accelerate reserves growth and decrease costs in order to deliver value to customers and shareholders. The value delivered will increase as waste is removed from work processes and work-in-progress inventories are reduced throughout the value chain of activities.
