SSAB steels itself for supply chain success

SSAB’s steel plate division says it is upgrading its use of i2’s supply chain solutions and migrating to the i2 Agile Business Process Platform to improve efficiency and supply chain visibility.

Mats Carlsson, quality, planning and service manager at SSAB, explains that the company has been using i2 for forecasting, planning and order management, but that migrating to the new platform will further improve ease of use, as well as business process and workflow management. “With this upgrade, SSAB Plate Division will ensure stability on a very important part in our order fulfilment process and also gain some advantages of new functionality,” he adds. That’s because i2’s Agile Business Process Platform has better supply chain data management, staging and integration, an enhanced studio for development, testing and deployment, and an expanded collection of the company’s best practices and supply chain workflows. i2 distributor ROCE Partners is the prime contractor.
