The Challenge
The company, a publicly traded, Asia-based automotive manufacturer with global manufacturing locations, was struggling with managing EHS at a single, U.S.-based manufacturing site. They were using outdated, inefficient methods such as paper-based employee concern reporting, clipboard inspections, and Excel for tracking safety and environmental compliance. The company needed a holistic platform to address EHS compliance and management concerns that could easily be implemented with their ~1,000 employees. They also required built-in reporting features, something their previous system lacked.
About The Customer
The customer is an Asia-based automotive company that has manufacturing locations globally. The company is publicly traded and has a significant presence in the automotive industry. The case study focuses on a single, U.S.-based manufacturing site of the company, which employs approximately 1,000 people. The company was facing challenges in managing Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) compliance and management concerns at this site. They were in need of a comprehensive, digital solution that could streamline their EHS processes, improve efficiency, and mitigate risks.
The Solution
The company implemented Gensuite READY for EHS, a pre-configured, compliance-centric solution perfect for single sites, smaller organizations, or enterprises interested in pilot deployment. The system and application configurations are based on industry-standard best practices and programs. The solution adheres to recurring permit or regulatory reporting obligations, tracks and follows up on incidents, conducts inspections efficiently with seamless Mobile to desktop capabilities, and identifies incidents or concerns, assigns corrective actions, and drives actions to closure. The company was able to deploy Gensuite in a matter of weeks with a successful in-person training program for over 1,000 employees.

Integral Plant Maintenance
Mercedes-Benz and his partner GAZ chose Siemens to be its maintenance partner at a new engine plant in Yaroslavl, Russia. The new plant offers a capacity to manufacture diesel engines for the Russian market, for locally produced Sprinter Classic. In addition to engines for the local market, the Yaroslavl plant will also produce spare parts. Mercedes-Benz Russia and his partner needed a service partner in order to ensure the operation of these lines in a maintenance partnership arrangement. The challenges included coordinating the entire maintenance management operation, in particular inspections, corrective and predictive maintenance activities, and the optimizing spare parts management. Siemens developed a customized maintenance solution that includes all electronic and mechanical maintenance activities (Integral Plant Maintenance).
