PTM Engineering Plastics (PTM Nantong) has chosen a suite of enterprise applications from CDC Software, looking to tap into the software's industry-specific functionality to help it increase daily production levels, standardize business processes, including quality assurance, and conform to ISO system standards.
Established in 2001, PTM Nantong is a joint venture between Polyplastics, Mitsubishi Gas Chemical, Korea Engineering Plastics and Ticona, a business of Celanese AG, Frankfurt. Polyplastics has approximately 70 percent of the total shares in the joint venture and has responsibility for the company's management.
The plant, which opened in October 2005, is located in Nantong, Jiangsu province, China and produces approximately 60,000 tons per year of polyacetal resin, which is used in a range of applications in markets such as transportation, industrial, appliances, information technology and consumer products.
PTM Nantong chose CDC's Ross Enterprise suite because of its fit to the specific requirements of the chemicals industries and track record of success in global implementations spanning many countries, local regulatory requirements and languages. Ross Enterprise is CDC Software's suite of applications for chemicals manufacturers, and it includes enterprise resource management (ERP), supply chain management (SCM), warehouse management, customer relationship management, real-time performance management and business analytics.
With Ross Enterprise, PTM Nantong will be looking to streamline compliance with the complex statutory tax requirements in China while continuing to meet Japanese regulations. PTM Nantong will also be aiming to shorten processing time and improve throughput and utilization with advanced planning, while gaining the visibility needed to monitor and adjust operations for peak operational efficiency. CDC Software's Technology Center in Shanghai will provide service and support for PTM.
