At the Fresenius Medical Care Deutschland GmbH subsidiary in Morocco, Hitachi Solutions experts have implemented a warehouse administration system with automatic storage-bin search and multinational linkage. The special challenges for the team installing the system based on Dynamics AX were to integrate the warehouse module into the corporation’s infrastructure as well as linking its own and local systems.

Criteria
FME opted for the Dynamics AX-based system because it meets all of the organization’s requirements
regarding multi-nationality, multi-client management and multi-site capabilities as well as all neighboring
fields. In addition to the newly defined infrastructure, FME places great emphasis on these parameters
to enable all companies within the group to work independently and communicate with headquarters in
Germany via interfaces.
Solution
With the newly implemented warehouse management system, items are entered into a SAP-related
system in Germany. Using interfaces, the data then is transmitted automatically to Microsoft Dynamics
AX 2009 Warehouse Management. After defining interfaces and setting the right parameters, the most
complex part of the project was defining the required warehouse equipment precisely to facilitate
automatic storage-bin search. Moreover, due to a change in dimensions, the multi-phase migration of
item data from the former system to the new one had to be planned and executed. At the same time, the
processes of the Moroccan organization were optimized. Challenges based on communication across
borders and cultures were mastered by all participants through outstanding cooperation prior to the go-
live.
Thanks to the use of Hitachi Solutions’ project management platform Project4Sure during the entire
process – from designing solutions to conducting the required training sessions and tests – the project
was realized within six months. Participants included staff at Hitachi Solutions, at the Fresenius Medical
Care Deutschland International Distribution Centers EMEALA and at Fresenius Medical Care Morocco.
„The Hitachi Solutions
consultants excelled because
of their premium expertise and
commitment.“
