Alle Wege führen zum Kunden… wirklich alle? Strategische Optimierung von Produktions- und Logistiknetzwerken As a rule, a company’s production and logistics networks tend to grow over time as a result of expansion and acquisitions. But the purchase of other companies at home and abroad results in a cross-company network that is not very homogeneous. The consequences of an awkward site and distribution network can range from high transportation costs to poor customer service. In order to optimize these structures, an analysis has to be made of the structures, the flows and the costs. This data forms the basis for modeling the production and logistics network with a network planning tool. The resulting “Baseline Model” provides transparency about existing material flows between company sites, and enables changes to network structures to be simulated and an analysis to be made of their effects on specific key data. 
In order to model and visualize existing network structures, relevant data is required about sites, deliveries and transportation relationships. The more precise the available data is, the more accurately the network model can be constructed and used for simulation purposes. With our many years of experience we support our customers in the development of optimization concepts, in the selection of appropriate IT tools and in the implementation of solutions within their companies. Our specialist is this field is Mr. Christoph Kilger. You can reach him at telephone no. +49 (0) 621 - 12 47 69 – 0 or by e-mail at c.kilger@jnm.de. |

Get new customers with SAP CRM
For about a year now STO AG has been successfully using SAP CRM for the monitoring and acquisition of construction projects. CRM was introduced because customer-specific information and processes were spread out over a number of different systems. With the help of SAP CRM, the STO AG sales team are now able to accompany construction projects professionally from the initial building site notice right through to awarding of the contract. In the course of their life-cycle, the construction projects in the CRM system are handled by various STO AG employee teams. All activities performed and decisions made are stored centrally in the system so that they are available for easy reference to everyone involved in-house in the project. New activities and tasks are delegated to the experts within the teams overseeing the project. The relationship between builders, planners and construction companies can be stored specifically for each project. Currently there are about 170 STO AG employees working successfully with this system in Germany, Switzerland and Sweden. The next roll-outs are planned in the near future in Great Britain and France and the solution is to be extended in the direction of marketing and portal support. The STO AG target-group triangle 
With revenues of approximately €650m and about 3,800 employees, the STO Group is one of the major manufacturers of products for building facades. The company is the world leader in the facade insulation systems sector. Its core product range also includes high-quality plasters and paints for outdoor and indoor use. If you have any questions about CRM, please contact Dr. Christoph Kilger. You can reach him at +49 (0) 621 - 12 47 69 - 0 or by e-mail at c.kilger@jnm.de. |
