First-class Business Tuning: Template Optimizes International Business Proc

VAS convinces Dyckerhoff

Following the successful startup in their cement plants Esch (LUX) and Göllheim (DE), Dyckerhoff AG, a company rich in tradition, has now commenced with the international rollout of Axians"s logistics solution VAS. The new system is currently being implemented on the basis of a template in a further cement plant in Germany, as well as at the plants in the Ukraine. In several workshops, the different requirements of the plant"s processes were analyzed and redefined. The template rollout is now being launched at all sites on the basis of these newly optimized and harmonized logistics processes. This is especially essential for the value flows between VAS and Dyckerhoff AG"s central SAP system. Since 2004, Dyckerhoff AG has belonged to the Italian Buzzi Unicem Group. "We conduct a major part of the logistics processes using SAP. A significant criterion in selecting the new solution was the approved and easy interconnection to the SAP Sales and Distribution module. In the future, we moreover want to map incoming raw materials by integrating VAS in SAP Materials Management," says Dyckerhoff AG"s CIO, Wolfgang Peseke, an important reason for deciding in favor of VAS. For Dyckerhoff, the guaranteed software maintenance and corresponding service provided by Axians were further fundamental decision criteria. The required round-the-clock service is thus ensured 365 days a year.
Remapping logistics processes at Dyckerhoff AG"s cement plants became necessary because the old in-house developed system developed in-house had increasingly reached its limits. The new solution was not only to cover the existing functionality requirements, but also to ensure that all roads into the future remained opened, such was one of the central specifications. "This aspect of VAS was also convincing in comparison to other systems, from which we were selecting," says Wolfgang Peseke. One of his main topics was the web integration, to manage the shipment scheduling and planning. With this function, workflows were already improved during the pilot projects. Other features such as the photographic documentation of weighing lead to an optimization.
