Howmet's Success Story
How Howmet supports the Howmet Business System (HBS) with Tervene


INITIAL GOALS
Aligning Daily Routines with the Howmet Business System (HBS)
Howmet wanted to reinforce the HBS pillars across all levels of the organization. Their priority was to structure their day-to-day operations, provide leadership visibility, and create accountability loops across safety, quality, and productivity.
As part of its global commitment to operational excellence, Howmet leverages Tervene to support the implementation of the Howmet Business System (HBS). From Leader Standard Work and tiered team meetings to TPM, audits, and continuous improvement initiatives, Tervene helps standardize frontline routines, boost visibility, and drive performance across operations.
Communication in our plant was not optimal. Information often got lost, making it difficult to properly follow up on actions and decisions. With Tervene, we’ve centralized and structured our exchanges: everyone is aligned, and leaders know what is expected of them.

Digitizing our LPA audits has made all the difference. Before, we relied on scattered paper documents. Today, with Tervene, we have real-time visibility on compliance and audit results, which allows us to act quickly whenever a gap is identified.

I activated the email notifications, which allows me to immediately see the actions assigned to me after team and production meetings. Typically, I log in each morning to review my ongoing tasks.

Our supervisors needed to manage lots of different issues at a time. We needed a solution that would structure the flow of information and our Gemba Walk program.
