Synopsis : To assist the ongoing re-engineering, Raw Materials Department in Kawasaki Steel has developed the planning and purchasing management system. With existing systems, this system, which is composed of four separated subsystems, namely, the ore and coal purchase planning subsystem, metallic material purchase planning subsystem, supply and demand management subsystem, and office automation subsystem, is now supporting all kinds of operations in the department, ranging from purchase planning, vessel assignment planning, contract/purchase/payment operation to the information analysis. In the process of this system development, the client/server system has been established with an expanded information network and the downsized computer processing. And through setting up the personal computer "one to one person", the efficiency of management and operation, both in the Head Office and in the steelworks, has been improved drastically. |
