Part of the world's largest steel and mining company, ArcelorMittal North America aims to help build a better world with smarter steels. Its steelmaking operations, finishing facilities and mines across North America supply key markets: automotive, appliances, tubes, packaging, construction, energy, heavy equipment, transportation and others. The AM/NS Calvert plant, located in Alabama (USA), is one of the group's most advanced.
ArcelorMittal Calvert, one of the group's most advanced plants in the United States, needed to raise the bar on governance, data quality and agility in creating and maintaining material and vendor master data.
Before BRO, the environment relied on manual email-based workflows, with no traceability, inconsistent data and difficulties in vendor qualification and evaluation.
The main challenges tackled were: governance and compliance, manual and non-standard processes, frequent errors in master data records, lack of traceability of requests, low vendor autonomy for updating information (Self-Service) and no integration with external risk data sources.
By adopting MDM+ BRO from akquinet Brasil, the plant made a significant leap in efficiency and automation. BRO centralized every activity for creating and maintaining master data, delivering automated and auditable workflows, intelligent validations and a fully integrated Vendor Portal with Self-Service. Vendors can now enter and maintain their own data quickly, securely and in a standardized way, sharply reducing internal rework and improving data quality. The solution also enabled integration with Dow Jones, delivering more complete and accurate risk and compliance analysis.
