Success Story
ArcelorMittal Belval & Differdange
(Phase 2)
New campaign planning tool
MISSION
After carrying out the project to optimize the supply chain, STREMLER AG was also commissioned for the final phase of the operational implementation. For the rolling mill of the ArcelorMittal plant in Belval, an integrated Access-based campaign planning tool had to be designed and implemented into the existing SAP landscape.
ArcelorMittal's project business, with changes to delivery dates, quantities and specifications, sometimes at short notice, requires a high level of reactivity from the planning tool and the control of operational processes.
SOLUTION AND WORK PROCESS
The planning and control was designed on the basis of a Pull principle, with the aim of closely synchronizing production and market taking into account
the current demand situation
the manufacturing status
as well the stock situation
This objective is achieved by means of a high planning frequency in connection with a short “frozen zone” and integrated net material management. With simple operation and automated processes as well as flexible handling, the tool significantly increases the quality of planning and control.
RESULTS
The supply chain efficiency of the ArcelorMittal Belval Train 2 plant was significantly increased in several respects:
Optimization of planning for optimal use of resources
Improve planning quality increase decision security and efficiency of meetings
Reduction of inventory improvement
Stabilization of delivery dates to the customer

„The ever increasing requirements regarding efficiency and quality in order-processing requires consistent planning in our company, taking into account a variety of factors.
After successfully completing the optimization of the supply chain with STREMLER AG, we decided to entrust the next step, the implementation of an Access-based campaign planning tool, to STREMLER AG as well. The employees of STREMLER resolutely handled the project with competence and specialist knowledge.
The campaign planning tool enables a drastic improvement in planning accuracy and thus represents a milestone in optimizing processes, increasing delivery accuracy and reducing the funding requirement.“
