IT for metallurgical enterprises: determining the future

The program of “IT for Metallurgical Enterprises: Determining the Future” Conference has been recently finalized.

According to the Conference organizers this year’s list of speakers has been completely updated. Permanent members of the annual event will learn about some projects that have never been covered before. The main topics of the Conference will be projects at Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant, Ural Steel, EvrazHolding, OMK, Vyksa Steel Works, ChelPipe, Brok-Invest-Service and other steel manufacturers and traders.

The Conference title “Determining the Future” will run through all reports and will link all the solutions and case studies presented in the framework of the event.

Strong competition, growing demand for quality products from consumers, price increases for raw materials and energy force the owners of enterprises to optimize costs, introduce more efficient technologies, and plan their future.

The conference will focus on the following issues:

- How to reduce costs incidental to implementation of MES, carrying out maintenance (MRO), ICS, etc.

- How to reduce operating expenses in the long term and at the same time improve efficiency.

- How to use IT so that current information about the situation on the market will be promptly available to those who make key business decisions.

- How to integrate materials management and quality control with financial statements and human resource management.

- Whose experience in implementation of IT in metallurgical enterprises is worthy of special attention?

- How to make the most of corporate data for long term planning.

- Outsourcing and resource sharing: how important are such forms of relationship with suppliers of IT services.

The Conference that has already become one of the most significant events in the industry will once again bring together representatives of steel companies and experts from suppliers of IT solutions during Metal-Expo’2012. This year’s partners of the conference are PSI (platinum partner), Pike Automation, Afmconsult, and Malahit (gold partners).

Conference participation is free for the employees of steel manufacturers and traders.
