Case Study: a leading steel wire transformation and coating company achieves higher planning maturity with Bluecrux

Climbing up the planning process maturity curve

Bluecrux worked with a leading steel wire transformation and coating company, a world market and technology leader with 28,000 employees and headquarters in Belgium. The company faced uneven planning maturity across business units, a view of supply chain as a supporting function, and decentralized planning initiatives with limited transformation experience.

Bluecrux supported the company by creating a supply chain maturity roadmap, defining an operating model, predesigning planning processes, specifying business requirements, building the business case, and helping shortlist APS vendors through the RFP process. The engagement led to C-level recognition of supply chain’s importance, management buy-in for future operating models, standardized planning processes, and APS tool selection.
