关于客户
客户是一家拉丁美洲工程公司，生产用于工业用途的精密设备。该公司最近收购了一家新分公司，并将其纳入集团。作为收购过程的一部分，该公司希望将新部门的财务流程和分析与集团的标准保持一致。然而，由于新部门的系统老化、高度定制化和分散，提供的财务数据不完整且不可靠，因此无法向管理层提供准确的信息。
挑战
拉丁美洲一家工程公司的新部门正因财务报告不可靠而苦苦挣扎，这使其无法了解其产品的真实盈利能力。缺乏准确的数据使得该部门难以发现效率低下之处、移除无利可图的产品并了解其产品线的真实盈利能力。这种情况阻碍了该公司在整个公司层面上有效竞争的能力。该公司的 IT 部门决定用集成解决方案取代新部门中的多个独立系统。
解决方案
该公司的 IT 部门与长期合作伙伴 IBM 合作，用集成的 SAP ERP 解决方案取代了新部门中的多个独立系统。该公司实施了一整套 SAP ERP 应用程序，包括财务、控制、物料管理、销售和分销、生产计划、工厂维护、客户服务、SAP Business Warehouse 和 SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence。这些 SAP 应用程序由 IBM 全球商业服务部应用程序管理服务部门的专家提供支持和管理。新部门的 SAP 环境在 IBM Power 570 Express 服务器上运行，具有 IBM DB2 数据库软件和 IBM AIX 操作系统。

Case Study
Remote Temperature Monitoring of Perishable Goods Saves Money
RMONI was facing temperature monitoring challenges in a cold chain business. A cold chain must be established and maintained to ensure goods have been properly refrigerated during every step of the process, making temperature monitoring a critical business function. Manual registration practice can be very costly, labor intensive and prone to mistakes.
Case Study
Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.
