Productivity is the main value driver to stay ahead of competition​. That's why a detailed end-to-end process analysis was requested by Kendrion to shorten their lead time and to exploit their digitalization potential.

Siemens provided with the Digital Transformation Approach, a comprehensive consulting project, to analyze the E2E- process from order intake to product delivery and challenges along the value chain to define technical, procedural and organizational measures and to meet the future end-to-end process​.

As an outcome, several projects have been identified for the global rollout of a new ERP-System​. Additionally, a new concept to collect production data on the shop floor and get them analyzed in a cloud-based architecture has been introduced​.
