Uncomfortable feeling with criticism

2024-01-17 17:06:29 UTC

It seems there is no common understanding of LATAM FFP team spirit when something is not going well. Often we see the criticized area acting to defend itself instead of tackle the situation together as a team

Global support

2024-01-17 18:54:12 UTC

Being the biggest region we have the opportunity to drive and influence global scenario/decisions.

Technical Capability

Great technical capability across FF&P and from another areas allocated at the Sites.

2024-01-17 22:47:09 UTC

Too much bureaucracy to make decisions

2024-01-17 22:50:36 UTC

We have identified many different processes that are not working properly. We have escalated the issue and nothing seems to happen

Poor communication within areas causes a lot of work for plants.

2024-01-17 22:57:12 UTC

Examples like poor communication within finances (Brasil and Uruguay or Uruguay and Mexico) to share information for different projects creates additional work

Take advantage of international treaties in LATAM to source North America and reduce dependence on tollers

2024-01-17 23:05:28 UTC

Very weak SOP process

2024-01-17 23:07:23 UTC

There is very weak SOP process that creates a lot of changes for the plants

Big Projects' timelines are too fluid and change constantly. It makes delivering projects and changes more challenging

2024-01-18 12:01:13 UTC

We have great shopfloor people and should be able to count on their expertise in projects in a regular manner

2024-01-18 12:04:09 UTC

Being aware of the challenging regulatory environment in the EU and BR, we should be one step ahead and innovate towards sustainable and biological solutions more quickly

2024-01-18 19:54:29 UTC

Governance & drive of p-tacs

2024-01-19 12:56:53 UTC

The p-tacs were left to individuals to drive, with a lack of LT governance and collective accountability

Manex to drive transformations

2024-01-19 12:58:49 UTC

Big opportunity with Manex to create a world class, disciplined operation driven by a strong management system

Long term growth

2024-01-19 13:00:08 UTC

Whilst other markets like EU have threats of decline, we have a positive long term trend and are the engine of Syngenta profit. We must use this to create an expanded world class manufacturing footprint
