CEO Hans F¨¹hrlbeck, who joined P¨¹hl in December 2015, explains: ¡°Previously the company¡¯s ERP system was not fully integrated and it was clear
that we needed to update the system to connect the whole order chain from incoming raw materials to after sales service.¡±
The new ERP system will enable P¨¹hl to provide customers with an even better service; better time to quote; as well as increased on-time deliveries ¨C which will be one of the biggest gains for customers. ¡°This has been much more than just an update, we have looked to integrate everything,¡± mentions
Herr F¨¹hrlbeck. ¡°Of course when you introduce a new system there are always a few bugs, but we are making progress all the time and we are confident that by the end of the year the process will be complete.¡±
In addition to the new ERP system, P¨¹hl has also invested in a new storage system, as well as having introduced organisational structural changes in logistics. Plus, the company has recently bought two new 400 tonnes presses.
¡°Cost wise we currently have a good mass production capability,¡± points out Herr F¨¹hrlbeck. ¡°We are therefore looking at combining this experience of standard parts with technology for special parts. Looking forward this will mean we can focus more on drawing parts, and more complex parts, to grow the business.¡±
Herr F¨¹hrlbeck concludes: ¡°We are always looking to improve and get better, whilst increasing productivity. We are in a good position going forward and the new ERP system will enable us to set the company base up for the next 10 to 15 years.¡±
