19 years of business process optimization for Gates
Business processes in a company should never be carried out manually and independently of all operational activities. Efficient business processes not only save time and money, but also increase the quality of work performance. They ensure satisfied employees, a perfectly informed management and a close relationship with suppliers and customers. With this objective in mind, Interlake has been advising and supporting Gates Corporation for 10 years in matters relating to the optimization, development and integration of business processes based on individual business software solutions.
Founded in 1911, Gates Corporation has developed into the global market leader in the production of drive rods and fluid technology (e.g. timing belts). The company is a supplier to the most important automobile manufacturers and machine builders as well as the global aftermarket. Gates products are characterised by a long service life with certified reliability. In the automotive industry, Gates is synonymous with high quality and perfect service.
Product development” business process – optimisation through ECR
Changes in the production chain require careful preparation and extensive checking: starting with the planning and control of the technical consequences, through the changed price calculation to the final approval by the management – all decision-makers require a coordinated provision of condensed and complete information for the approval of the desired product development in their personal area of responsibility.
Together with Interlake, Gates developed the ECR (Engineering Change Requests) business application for this business process. The software enables product information to be recorded quickly, including all regional or specialised features. Based on this information, downstream, step-by-step work and decision-making processes are carried out automatically, enabling the preparation and release of a product development from the organisational side worldwide within a few days
