A IBM Systems Case Study
Shijiazhuang Iron & Steel Co. faced a major growth challenge: its manufacturing site had no room to expand production, while increasing competition threatened profitability. IBM Systems helped the company by supporting a shift to a more integrated approach, using mySAP ERP software on the IBM System i5 platform to replace disjointed, largely manual processes.
IBM Systems implemented a highly integrated ERP solution that connected business functions across the production cycle and shared information automatically. The result was improved control of manufacturing processes, better ability to meet demand for high-quality steels in a new market sector, and stronger capability to pursue a high-margin marketplace.
