  2. Huber Engineered Materials • Largest of 3 divisions of the JM Huber Corporation. • Specialty chemicals company with 15 manufacturing facilities in North America, 1 in India and Brazil and 11 in Europe. • HEM was formed through the merging of several different divisions and through acquisitions.

  3. Huber Engineered Materials The Result: Disparate systems and processes. The Need: One Global ERP Platform The Choice: Oracle 11i

  4. Huber Engineered Materials • Project Scope: • Implement by a combination of Process Stream, Geography and line of business. • Process Streams: • 1. Financials North America • 2. Procure to Pay North America • 3. Order to Cash: PCC, Kaolin, ATH, GCC; 13 locations

  5. Huber Engineered Materials • 4 Waves of implementation: • Wave 1: PCC all 3 Processes streams, went live on August 1, 2001 • Wave 2: Financials and Procure to Pay all North American locations, went live on October 1, 2001. • Wave 3: Order to Cash Kaolin, went live on February 4, 2002. • Wave 4: Order to Cash ATH and GCC, scheduled to go live May 1, 2002. • Other waves to follow but scope is not finalized.

  6. Huber Engineered Materials • Order to Cash: • Order Management (Order Entry, Pricing, Shipping Execution) • Accounts Receivable • Inventory Management • Quality • Integrate Manugistics Transportation Management to Order Management • Streamserve integration

  7. Huber Engineered Materials • Challenges: • ‘Make to Order’ process at manufacturing facilities. • Implementing OM without fully implementing OPM • Manugistics integration, especially export shipments; ‘bleeding edge.’ • Application Service Provider • Order Management bugs and patches • No standard processes

  8. Huber Engineered Materials • Successes • Went live as scheduled • Order Management is now stable • Manugistics planning of orders working well; rating, routing and carrier assignment • Load tendering to the carriers • Received well by the end users • Technical Development • Reports and documents

  9. Huber Engineered Materials • Lessons Learned: • Processes need to be clearly defined and communicated to and embraced by the organization; design ends, testing begins. • Data is critical; once complete freeze it!! • ‘End to End’ testing. • Handing over the keys; Project needs to be driven by organization.
