挑战
Superior Oil Company, a distributor, manufacturer and waste recycler, was facing challenges with its inventory and customer data management across its multiple locations. The company was unable to view inventory or customer data from other locations, leading to constant calls to gather this information. Additionally, the company was using 9 different databases for each of its locations, leading to inefficiencies and inconsistencies in data management. The company was also facing issues with its financial reporting, taking up to 3 weeks to get financials with their previous system. They were also doing manual double entries for all of their accounting.
关于客户

The industries served by Superior include Adhesives, Automotive, Chemicals, Fiberglass Reinforced Plastics, Foundry, I & I Compounders, Metal Fabricating, Painting & Coatings, Pharmaceutical, and Printing.
解决方案
Superior Oil Company chose to implement Chempax, a software solution built specifically for the chemical industry. The software's customer service module, with its connection into manufacturing, purchasing and inventory control, was particularly impressive. With Chempax, Superior was able to consolidate its 9 databases into one standardized database for all locations. This change significantly improved the company's customer service, inventory and manufacturing capabilities. The accounting function in Chempax allowed the company to get financial information within days at the end of each month, as opposed to the 3 weeks it took with their previous system. The software also eliminated the need for manual double entries for accounting, increasing productivity and efficiency. The reporting functionality of Chempax, including product usage reports, improved the company's operations.

Case Study
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).
