Rexam, one of the world’s top five consumer packaging groups and the world’s leading beverage can maker, recently optimized its operational efficiencies from the back office to the shop floor with SAP Manufacturing. Using IT to cut costs and deliver value-added services to dissuade customers from changing suppliers, Rexam built world-class business processes in both manufacturing operations and across the supply chain. Paul Martin, Rexam’s Group Director of Information Management, will discuss the problems and driving forces for solving manufacturing problems with IT including the evaluation, implementation, start-up, and benefits received plus how SAP technology provided the visibility that increases customer satisfaction and loyalty winning the Customer Mastery Award from Managing Automation.
