关于客户
ThyssenKrupp is a manufacturer with approximately 188,000 employees in more than 80 countries. The company is one of the world's largest steel producers and is based in Germany. ThyssenKrupp was formed from the merger of Thyssen and Krupp in 2000. The company recently reorganized its departments into eight business units within two main divisions – Materials and Technologies – with corporate headquarters overseeing strategic management functions. The Materials division embarked on a crucial purchasing initiative, designed to strengthen related activities across the business on an ongoing basis.
挑战
ThyssenKrupp, a large steel producer, needed to formalize procurement processes, define purchasing-related objectives across multiple operating units, and accurately measure progress towards strategic goals. The company wanted to standardize and optimize processes as well as create formal structures for purchasing-related reporting across the entire group to enhance the techniques and metrics already in place. The company aimed to provide individual units with some leeway and flexibility within an overall strategic framework. The challenge was to ensure adherence to standardized procedures across the individual units to ensure synergies and optimize the use of suppliers and other resources.
解决方案
ThyssenKrupp implemented the WebFOCUS Performance Management Framework (PMF) to meet its purchasing reporting requirements. Strategic objectives and related performance indicators were defined and recorded, then summarized and made accessible via a Web-based scorecard. With the new purchasing reporting infrastructure in place, ThyssenKrupp’s business units can increase purchasing efficiencies, uncover consolidation opportunities, and better measure performance through improved transparency into related processes. The company used WebFOCUS to define strategic objectives and indicators that focused on core purchasing activities. Measuring achievement in those objectives is done at the touch of a button. After choosing WebFOCUS, ThyssenKrupp began outlining key performance indicators (KPIs) used in the purchasing reporting process to assess the productivity and effectiveness of critical activities. It deployed a forward-looking conceptual design for a company scorecard and value-based management environment.

Continuous Casting Machines in a Steel Factory
With a very broad range of applications, steel is an important material and has been developed into the most extensive alloy in the engineering world. Since delivering high quality is absolutely crucial for steel plants, ensuring maximum productivity and the best quality production are the keys to competitiveness in the steel industry. Additionally, working conditions in steel factories are not suitable for workers to stay in for long periods of time, so manufactures usually adopt various machines to complete the steel production processes. However, the precision of these machines is often overestimated and the lack of flexibility also makes supervisors unable to adjust operating procedures. A renowned steel factory in Asia planned to improve its Distributed Control System (DCS) of furnaces as well as addressing the problem of insufficient accuracy. However, most well-known international equipment suppliers can not provide a satisfactory solution and local maintenance because the project needed new technologies to more accurately control equipment operations. By implementing Advantech’s automated monitoring and control solution, steel factories can not only improve the manufacturing processes but can also allow users to add additional functions to the existing system so as to make sure the operation runs at high efficiency.
