About The Customer
The USS-POSCO steel finishing plant in Pittsburg, California is owned and operated by USS-POSCO Industries (UPI), a joint venture company established by U. S. Steel Corporation and POSCO of the Republic of Korea. The plant manufactures cold rolled, galvanized and tin mill products from hot rolled steel, and ships its finished steel daily to more than 150 customers in the western United States. Several modernization programs, representing some of the largest investments in manufacturing facilities in California, have made USS-POSCO one of the most efficient and technically advanced steel finishing facilities in the world.
The Challenge
USS-POSCO was facing challenges in streamlining data reporting to improve decision-making speed and responsiveness to trends or problems. The company was heavily reliant on its overburdened IT staff for generating detailed data reports. The goal was to reduce the amount of time it took to answer business questions and move business analysis closer to end users. The company was looking for a solution that could quickly build a sound business intelligence system without heavy financial, time, or resource investment.
The Solution
USS-POSCO deployed QlikView to 40 employees across five functional areas. The company now analyzes hundreds of data points in multiple dimensions to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its entire operation – from inventory management and fulfillment to supplier management and international trade. With QlikView Server (64-bit) and QlikView Publisher, USS-POSCO also easily supports security and visibility while handling a large data volume. QlikView moved a significant amount of report development out of USSPOSCO’s IT group into the business units, where end users know what data they need and how they want to use it.
Operational Impact
  • Improved productivity with simplified data reporting capabilities transferred from IT to business units
  • Enhanced decision-making with multidimensional views of high-integrity data
  • Increased efficiency with key data available at-a-glance with easy-to-view dashboards updated daily, even hourly
  • Improved accuracy with ongoing cleansing of “dirty data” that had gone undetected by other reporting tools
