Precision Control for Polysilicon Operations

A leading polysilicon manufacturer operating in a high-purity, process-intensive environment needed to modernize how it managed plant maintenance, project expenses, warehouse inventory, and operational execution. For the company, operational reliability depended on disciplined control across critical production assets, utilities, plant infrastructure, materials, spares, and consumables.

The company’s legacy SAP ECC environment limited visibility across maintenance, project management, supply chain, and warehouse operations. In a project-driven, maintenance-intensive business, teams lacked a reliable way to track expenses against specific maintenance and operational activities. This made it difficult to understand the true cost of maintaining critical production assets and supporting equipment.

Maintenance planning was fragmented, with preventive and corrective work not consistently scheduled, tracked, or costed. Warehouse operations also created risk, as teams struggled to manage materials, spares, consumables, and inventory balances accurately. Limited visibility into a significant inventory balance created uncertainty around stock availability, working capital, and operational control.

For a polysilicon manufacturer, these gaps can delay repairs, disrupt production schedules, increase downtime risk, and weaken confidence in plant-level planning. 

Korcomptenz helped the client migrate from SAP ECC to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations with a focus on Asset Management, core supply chain processes, and Advanced Warehouse Management.

The Asset Management capability enabled structured preventive and corrective maintenance planning across critical assets, improving maintenance visibility, asset reliability, and control over maintenance-related costs.

Korcomptenz also improved project cost tracking by streamlining how maintenance and operational expenses were captured, reported, and linked to specific projects. This helped strengthen spend visibility and financial accountability.

To support connected operations, Korcomptenz integrated purchasing, sales, inventory, and warehouse processes, improving visibility into procurement, stock availability, and inventory movement. Advanced Warehouse Management brought more structure to how materials, spares, consumables, and stock balances were received, tracked, and managed. 

• Improved maintenance planning: Preventive and corrective maintenance activities could be planned, scheduled, tracked, and costed more effectively.
• Greater inventory visibility: Materials, spares, consumables, and previously unclear inventory balances became easier to track and manage.
• Better project cost control: Maintenance and operational expenses could be linked to specific projects, improving cost visibility and accountability.
• Stronger warehouse control: Structured warehouse processes improved inventory accuracy and reduced uncertainty around material availability.
• More connected operations: Teams moved from reactive tracking to structured planning, enabling better decisions around maintenance work, inventory usage, project spend, and production continuity.
