The value of simplification

*SAP Performance Benchmarking

Companies that buy metals, building products, paper, or textiles from mill products companies want the right quality products, in the correct quantity, delivered on time.

They want flexible pricing, delivery options, and reliable channel partners. Mill products companies struggle due to significant complexities such as:

Complexity and lack of visibility in the global supply chain that limits their ability to promise, create, and deliver profitable orders on time

Limited control and visibility over asset utilization and maintenance, making it difficult to balance the sometimes competing needs of quality, cost, and safety

Inconsistent product and price information across channels, which causes lost sales due to delays in responding to customer inquiries on order status, price, and availability

Moving forward, mill products companies can achieve high levels of customer satisfaction through streamlined order configuration, optimized asset performance, effective

supply chain management, and, ultimately, timely deliveries.
