The Houston-based specialty chemical company experienced rapid expansion in a short ten-year time frame. But, as growth continued, it was evident that the legacy system for incident and accident tracking was inadequate and could not give decision makers crucial information in real-time when they needed it. The system was unsupported and became too difficult to add new functionality. In today’s world of high regulation and corporate responsibility, growth through expansion cannot compromise compliant EH&S practices; thus, the organization defined three objectives for incident & accident tracking and reporting: Building on its existing SAP foundation, the specialty chemicals company chose to deploy the incident and accident management functionality of SAP Environment, Health & Safety (SAP EHS) due to its tight integration with HR, materials management, quality management, and production planning functionality within the SAP ERP application. In addition, the Linx-AS Environment, Health & Safety Consulting practice along with the its UEx team developed a web-based application on the SAP NetWeaver Portal to report and track quality notifications seamlessly with incidents and accidents.
