IOC hires McKinsey for ‘structure, process, people’ study

The consultants will also advise IOC on strategy and resource optimisation across IOC's own seven refineries and the two refineries of its subsidiaries.
IOC chairman and managing director M S Ramachandran says McKinsey will also find a suitable technical consultant. Solomon Associates, UOP and Shell Global Consulting are among those that are being talked to.
IOC has alongside been working on a home-grown “yield optimisation“ exercise, the results of which are likely to be evident in the current year itself. Ramachandran says IOC expects to see benefits of a value of Rs 150 crore this year from yield optimisation, which is basically making products of higher value.
