EVONIK parties are contributing and driving towards the optimal business result .
“ And that ’ s exactly what we are right now doing , we are recharging our S & OP planning process ,” says Ceylan .
The second area is to establish transparency .
“ Without having the full insights through our operation processes we cannot steer according to KPIs or identify improvements needed in our execution . Also transparency creates a better understanding and is the basis for better decision making and higher quality discussions .
“ Therefore , it was a major cornerstone to migrate five of our sites also into SAP .”
Christoph ’ s team was leading this effort and provided SAP and process competencies but also training and change management support .
The third area is to establish an efficient distribution network .
Ceylan says : “ From a business perspective it is important that we have optimal lead times to our customers with a high delivery performance .
“ Therefore , we have reviewed our current step-up of warehouses and are now about to consolidate and optimise those . Also , with the support of the corporate and divisional programme , we now increase our track and trace visibility to provide more on time updates about customer deliveries .”
What are the targets ? In terms of targets , the most important one is to build a strong and competent team , because “ coming from three different legacies , the structures are different , the competency level is different ”.
Tools and processes are important and a basis for work , but the most important are the people with their passion for the business and the customers .
