Students scrutinize logistics processes for Rosenbauer
In search of the lowest common denominator: Students from the "Process Management and Business Intelligence" program at FH Upper Austria Campus Steyr have surveyed all logistics processes at the two German locations of the fire-fighting technology manufacturer Rosenbauer. They compared these processes with Rosenbauer International and redesigned several of them.

"The results of the project provide us with a very good foundation for taking the next steps towards international process harmonization. The students have diligently and competently identified and modeled current harmonization potentials in our German branches," express the Rosenbauer project leaders and coordinators, Steve König, Manuel Fiedler, and Werner Binder.
"In total, the students have documented and mapped 45 logistics processes. Harmonization potentials were developed, and target processes were modeled in workshops with the German coordinators," describes Nicole Scheidleder, Assistant Professor at the Steyr Campus. "To subsequently align and standardize processes at all locations of the international corporation, potential adaptations in the IT infrastructure could be helpful in the long run," adds the course coordinator. "Currently, the topic of digital transformation is a concern for almost all companies," confirms the process management expert.
And what were the biggest challenges for the students in this project? Philipp Jäger, a 3rd-semester student in Process Management and Business Intelligence, explains: "The main challenges for us were the different sizes and processes between the various locations. The larger a location becomes, the more it needs a clear structure with defined processes and responsibilities. Keeping this principle in mind, we were able to conduct process documentation and harmonization with the right mindset."
About the study program:
The Bachelor's program in "Process Management and Business Intelligence" at the FH Upper Austria Campus Steyr is organized as both full-time and part-time, spanning 6 semesters. Multinational corporations, as well as small local businesses, are in global competition today. Success lies in anticipating the desires of customers quickly and innovatively, and that in convincing quality. Adequate business processes are crucial to meet these requirements in the long term. However, for this to happen, data and information in strategic and operational business management must be rethought. This means that data-based decision processes largely replace intuition and "gut feeling" in everyday management and lead to measurable increases in productivity and profits through the adaptation of business processes. www.fh-ooe.at/pmbi
