2 Creating added value in an era of digitalization Since we see you as a valuable partner within this structure, we would like to ask you to use the Internet platform SupplyOn together with us. We founded this platform for optimum business relationships in partnership with other prestigious companies, such as Continental, Bosch and ZF. It matches the specific characteristics of our market sector, is very user-friendly and offers measurable advantages. SupplyOn begins where internal ERP systems stop. The platform extends internal business processes seamlessly beyond the normal boundaries of companies. It links companies, functions, processes and creates standards as well as transparency. This improves performance at the same time as reducing costs. With an optimized supply chain we can increase the competitive ability of our company and that of our business partners. It is thus significantly easier to achieve continuous improvements on quality, cost-efficiency and delivery performance. In the increasingly intensive competitive environment, the only companies that will remain successful are those that continually scrutinize and progressively improve their business processes. Technological tools can help here in making this requirement for increased efficiency into a reality. Furthermore, they can also help to make ever more complex business relationships transparent and comprehensible. At Schaeffler, we have set ourselves the goal of turning this networking system into a motor for the shared success of all parties involved. This means close networking of the added value chain from the customer through to the supplier and vice versa. We are therefore focussing on intelligent systems and modules that allow everyone to introduce new business models on the basis of newly acquired data and thus become winners in this era of digitalization. With its purchasing, logistics and quality assurance processes, the supply chain itself offers many levers for driving forward efficiency. As one of the leading partners in the automotive industry, we see it as one of our responsibilities to take charge of actively optimizing these processes. In order to benefit from this even closer interconnection, I would today like to appeal to you to use the Internet platform SupplyOn with us. This does not involve any special system requirements. With SupplyOn, you can further reduce inventory and lead times within the entire supply chain. In this brochure, you can discover SupplyOn for yourself. I hope you find these insights interesting and look forward to seeing you register with just a few clicks on the SupplyON platform. You can find how easily it works on page 6.

The most important function of the tool is to simplify data exchange and speed up all the processes coupled via the supply chain.
