Case Study: ISGEC Hitachi Zosen Ltd. speeds production and improves inventory control with SAP S/4HANA

How Do Touch Screens Get Mission-Critical Equipment to Customers Faster

ISGEC Hitachi Zosen Limited, a manufacturer of mission-critical equipment for refineries and petrochemical plants, faced challenges in gaining control over its manufacturing and financial operations. The company needed to accurately track materials for made-to-order products and eliminate errors from its manual procurement systems to reduce supply chain risk.

To address this, SAP, through partner KPIT Technologies, implemented the SAP S/4HANA solution. This provided a single source of data for real-time inventory visibility and integrated intelligent manufacturing processes. The use of SAP Fiori apps and touch-screen technology allowed workers to order welding consumables instantly, dramatically speeding up production starts. As a result, SAP helped ISGEC Hitachi Zosen achieve a 50% reduction in manufacturing cycle time and a 30% reduction in order lead time.
