关于客户
FMC Corporation 是一家特种化学品制造公司，总部位于宾夕法尼亚州费城。该公司的业务分为三个部门：FMC 农业解决方案、FMC 健康与营养和 FMC 矿产。FMC 通过其每个地理区域内的业务部门网络为客户提供服务。这种方法很好地帮助了公司的营销、销售和产品开发，将全球规模与本地知识和灵活性相结合。然而，这种商业模式也导致了围绕间接采购（为内部利益相关者采购商品和服务）的分散流程，这削弱了可见性和运营效率。
挑战
FMC Corporation 是一家特种化学品制造公司，其间接采购流程面临挑战。该公司的采购方式分散于其全球业务部门，难以管理和控制员工购买商品和服务的方式。由于缺乏可见性和运营效率，FMC 无法利用其全球规模与供应商谈判获得更好的交易，也难以了解和有效管理总采购支出。该公司需要一种解决方案，使其能够控制全球采购和支出，并通过标准化、自动化的流程更有效地管理全球采购。
解决方案
FMC 与 IBM 全球商业服务部合作实施了基于 SAP 解决方案的标准化采购到付款流程，统一了不同地点的员工采购供应品和服务的方式。该公司成立了一个以中心为主导的组织，作为全球采购和采购中心。新组织成立后，注意力转向通过 eProcure 项目引入一个标准化、可扩展的平台来管理整个采购到付款流程。新平台将允许 FMC 通过标准化、自动化的流程更有效地管理全球采购。此外，该解决方案将通过提供所有 FMC 业务部门和地区的实际采购行为、价格和供应商的单一画面来提高支出可见性。FMC 采取了分阶段实施的方法，与 IBM 全球商业服务部和其他合作伙伴合作，逐个地区推出采购到付款系统。

Advanced Elastomer Systems Upgrades Production
In order to maintain its share of the international market for thermoplastic elastomers AES recently expanded its Florida plant by adding a new production line. While the existing lines were operating satisfactorily using a PROVOX distributed control system with traditional analog I/O, AES wanted advanced technology on the new line for greater economy, efficiency, and reliability. AES officials were anxious to get this line into production to meet incoming orders, but two hurricanes slowed construction.

Field Device Asset Management For Chemical Company in China
Chinese chemical subsidiary of multinational corporation serves customers throughout the world. Sales offices and research and technology centers are strategically located to provide rapid response to customer requests. Just two workers were assigned to maintain thousands of intelligent instruments in three production units, so they could do little more than react to device issues as they appeared. This costly maintenance method inevitably led to unexpected downtime when a critical instrument failed. Plant management recognized the need to change from reactive to predictive maintenance for all assets, including instruments and control valves, but help was needed in implementing such a technology-based initiative.
