挑战
Western Filament 是一家总部位于科罗拉多州的公司,专门为各个行业生产高质量的纺织产品,其旧版 ERP 系统面临着重大挑战。该系统依赖于“附加”数据源,无法提供高级调度、路线、成本中心、工作中心或在制品可视性。随着公司的发展,它需要 ERP 系统提供更多信息和制造功能。缺乏这些功能阻碍了公司有效管理运营和提供卓越客户体验的能力。在 COVID-19 大流行期间,根据《国防生产法》,该公司被视为必不可少的公司,并且正在寻求为未来进行再投资。管理团队一致认为需要一个更强大的系统来处理他们独特的业务需求。

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).
