Everyone was just too busy doing deals and acquisitions , myself included .” I had a process improvement group that marshalled the process optimisation work through . And that became a project management organization with all the new system work arising from growth . The last number of years , as the energy industry downturn has caught up to midstream , the focus on streamlining and re-engineering to optimise has returned . We call it efficiency mode .”
Through the company ’ s growth period , Plains was able to protect the downside and capture upside in a way that made sense , through a lot of different and volatile supply / demand and price cycles , through its risk management programme .
