CONSTRUCTION AND
MINING MACHINERY
Operating within a highly cyclical business environment, construction and mining machinery
manufacturers are under pressure to innovate to meet constantly changing market demand
and demonstrate solid financial performance to shareholders through cycles. While customers demand
improved value and service, including more reliable equipment with less maintenance downtime,
competitive realities are forcing higher rates of productivity and aggressive cost cutting to offset margin
erosion, despite rising raw materials prices for steel, tires, and forgings. Not only do industry leaders like
Caterpillar, Komatsu, and John Deere run their businesses on SAP, but many best-run midsize construction
and mining equipment manufacturers, such as Joy Global, JCB, Kubota, and Ditch-Witch, also run SAP.
SAP understands the construction and mining equipment industry. Seven of the top ten manufacturers
run SAP, with 80% being midsize enterprises. SAP’s industry-specific functionality enables customers
to leverage the SAP system to outperform their peers. With SAP’s unparalleled experience in this industry,
we’ve helped companies just like yours run more efficiently, more productively, and more profitably.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT,
APPLIANCES, AND COMPONENTS
Manufacturers of electrical equipment, appliances, and coponents build switchgear and switchboard
apparatus, power, distribution and specialty transformers, and motors and generators. These manufacturers
are under constant competitive pressure – which is only intensified by the ease with which low-cost
competitors from around the world can enter new markets and capture market share. This is driving
manufacturers to move capacity to low cost locations and pursue global sourcing strategies to drive
down material costs. Increased global presence is leading many manufacturers to integrate processes across
silos and geographical regions to coordinate processes and achieve global enterprise visibility. To avoid
commoditization, companies are also seeking to meet rising customer demands for unique new products.
This means a renewed focus on innovation processes and increased incentive to gain new efficiencies in
the area of new product development and introduction. At the same time, manufacturers in this space are
constantly seeking to master lean and six sigma practices in order to reduce costs and drive out waste
from manufacturing processes. Using solutions available in the SAP for IM&C portfolio, many manufacturers
of electrical equipment, appliances, and components are able to improve product development, increase
customer loyalty, and maintain market share over the term. Not only do industry leaders like Siemens,
Hubbell, Cooper Industries and Schneider Electric run their business on SAP, but many best-run midsize
electrical equipment, appliance, and components manufacturers, such as Baldor Electric, Thomas & Betts,
and Bourns, Inc., also run SAP. SAP’s industry-specific functionality enables customers to leverage the
SAP system to outperform their peers. With SAP’s unparalleled experience in this industry, we’ve helped
companies just like yours run more efficiently, more productively, and more profitably.

Engine, Turbine,
Manufacturers of engines, turbines, pumps, and compressors build carburetors, pistons, piston rings valves, steam,
gas, and hydraulic turbines, turbine generator set units, internal combustion engines, pumps, pumping equipment,
air and gas compressors, and mechanical power transmission equipment. These manufactures are focusing
their energies on global markets – particularly South America, Asia, and Eastern Europe – to pursue the most
promising growth opportunities available. This entails globalized sales and distribution networks and brings with it
increasingly intense competition from lower-cost producers. To level the playing field, many manufacturers are
moving capacity to low cost locations and pursuing global sourcing strategies to drive down material costs.
At the same time, the move is on to simplify structures and processes to help reduce overall costs, minimize waste
and inefficiencies, and achieve higher levels of operational excellence. While rising fuel costs and tightening
emissions standards are driving the replacement of existing equipment, manufacturers must find ways to meet
customer demand for more value-added services and guaranteed performance and uptime. This, in turn, is driving
increased ventures into the aftermarket service and parts business, where customers are seeking new service models
based on machine performance and usage-based pricing. Not only do industry leaders like ABB, Briggs & Stratton,
and Alstom SA run their businesses on SAP, but many best-run midsize engine, turbine, compressor, and pump
manufacturers, such as Gardner-Denver, Sta-Rite, Sulzer Pumps and Southern Pump And Tank Company,
also run SAP. SAP’s industry-specific functionality enables customers to leverage the SAP system to outperform
their peers. With SAP’s unparalleled experience in this industry, we’ve helped companies just like yours run more

ING, AND PLUMBING EQUIPMENT
Manufacturers of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and plumbing equipment build industrial and
commercial fans, blowers, air purification equipment, industrial process furnaces, ovens, air-conditioning
warm-air heating equipment, and commercial and industrial refrigeration equipment. These manufacturers,
largely dependent on the cyclical nature of the new construction market, feel constant shareholder
pressure to grow their businesses and demonstrate solid financial performance through economic cycles.
Air Conditioning, and

Plumbing Equipment
Heating, Ventilation,
Companies in this industry segment are seeking to increase revenue from replacements units, maximize the
value of the install base, and grow their service businesses. They also need to innovate constantly to meet
growing customer demands for more sophisticated equipment. Many manufacturers are trying to take
advantage of this opportunity by moving up the value chain from single products to complete solutions.
At the same time, companies must consider the cost of compliance with energy efficiency standards
and regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, while continuing to focus on core business issues such as
increasing operational excellence and optimizing channels in order to increase revenues and profits.
Not only do industry leaders like Carrier, American Standard, York, and Whirlpool run their business on
SAP, but many best-run midsize HVACR and plumbing equipment, such as Heatcraft, Greenheck Fan,
and Hunter, also run SAP. SAP understands the HVACR and plumbing equipment industry. Six of the top
ten manufacturers run SAP, with over 70% being best run midsize enterprises. SAP’s industry-specific
functionality enables customers to leverage the SAP system to outperform their peers. With SAP’s
unparalleled experience in this industry, we’ve helped companies just like yours run more efficiently, more
productively, and more profitably.

Manufacturers of industrial tools and metal working machinery build industrial patterns, special dies and tools,
die sets, jigs and fixtures, industrial molds, cutting tools, machine tool accessories, machinists’ precision measuring
devices, power-driven hand tools, electric and gas welding and soldering equipment, metal-cutting machine tools,
metal-forming machine tools, rolling mill machinery and equipment, and metal working machinery. These
manufacturers face a host of challenges today, including intensified global competition, growing customer demand
for improved service, and shareholder pressure to improve business performance. Expanding into global markets to
pursue emerging opportunities, many of these manufacturers are focused intently on increasing visibility across
silos and geographical regions and integrating operations according to best practice models. This is enabling
manufacturers to pursue outsourcing opportunities, improve the aftermarket sales and service business, and drive
down costs through streamlined global processes and strategic sourcing initiatives. Improving customer loyalty
and moving up the value chain are other important areas of focus for manufacturers in this industry sub-segment.
Industrial Tools and

Metal Working
To this end, many organizations are pursuing customer relationship management initiatives to integrate the

internal flow of customer and sales information. This enables the enterprise to target high value customers more
effectively and develop the kinds of products and services these customers require. SAP for IM&C is playing a
critical role for many of these companies as they seek to achieve their business objectives in an increasingly
competitive global market environment. Not only do industry leaders like Black & Decker, Cooper Tools, and

LIFTING, MATERIAL HANDLING,
AND RAILROAD EQUIPMENT
Manufacturers of lifting, material handling, and railroad equipment build elevators, moving stairways, conveying
equipment, overhead traveling cranes, hoists and monorail systems, and railroad equipment. These manufacturers
face many of the challenges common to the wider industrial machinery and components industry. With global
competition on the rise, manufacturers in this space are seeking the cost advantages of moving production
overseas. This is driving moves to integrate systems and operations across multiple facilities and geographical
locations – with an emphasis on best practices to help ensure greater levels of operational excellence. Visibility as it
relates to the supply chain and financial management is critical. Customer demand for value-added services,
meanwhile, is driving initiatives to improve the integration of the aftermarket sales and service business into the
larger enterprise. And, as with most manufacturers of heavy industrial equipment, these organizations are
also constantly on the move to streamline processes in an effort to reduce overall costs, minimize waste and
inefficiencies, and achieve higher levels of operational excellence. With software and process support for new
product development, customer and supplier relationship management, supply collaboration, and a host of other
critical business areas, SAP for IM&C is helping companies in this industry sub-sector thrive and succeed.
Not only do industry leaders like KONE, Schindler Elevator, and Siemens Dematic run their business on SAP,

MOTION AND FLUID CONTROL
Motion and fluid control manufacturers build ball and roller bearings, speed changers, industrial high-speed drivers and
gears, measuring and dispensing pumps, fluid power cylinders and actuators, mechanical power transmission
equipment, and fluid power pumps and motors. With the motion and flow control market tracking closely with the
state of U.S. manufacturing in general, this industry sub-segment is looking at organic revenue growth over the next
three to five years, driven largely by a combination of volume and pricing gains. The fortunes of motion and flow
control manufacturers are particularly linked to rising or falling fuel prices. Control equipment to the oil and gas
sectors, for example, have found that high oil and natural gas prices encouraged their customers to undertake projects
that might not have been commissioned at lower price levels. Beyond fuel price influences, spending on pumps, valves,
actuators, motors, drives, and other machinery components will likely go toward replacing old equipment rather than
adding to capacity. At the same time, motion and flow control manufacturers are contending with many of the other
challenges facing manufacturers everywhere. These include increased customer demand for improved quality and
value-added services, shareholder pressure to grow business, and increased price pressures due to global competition.
In response, companies are trying to improve innovation and new product development processes, expand their
aftermarket businesses, pursue strategic sourcing and global outsourcing initiatives, and drive down costs through
greater operational excellence. For many of these companies, SAP for IM&C is playing a pivotal role in helping them
achieve their objectives. Not only do industry leaders like Timken, Bosch Rexroth, Pall and Cooper Cameron run

Introduction
SEMICONDUCTOR AND ELECTRONIC
MEASUREMENT EQUIPMENT
Electronic Measure-
Semiconductor and
ment Equipment
Semiconductor and electric measurement equipment manufacturers build electrical machinery, equipment, supplies, and
ophthalmic goods. With equipment sales pegged closely to chip cycles, manufacturers of semiconductors and electronic
measurement equipment experience frequent revenue volatility, which adversely impacts market valuation. Positioned at the
bottom of the global electronics food chain, equipment makers in this industry subsegment deal with long lead times and must
master the supply and demand chain in order to plan accordingly and demonstrate strong financial performance through
cycles. To remain competitive, manufacturers need to maintain extensive sales and service operations in the regions where chip
production occurs. In today’s market, this means a continuous focus on Asia – particularly Taiwan and increasingly China.
Constant technology transitions and shorter product life cycles, meanwhile, are driving the need for improved equipment and
process control. Trends toward nanoscale products, for example, have increased complexity, R & D cycle times, and rates of
yield loss. But with revenues typically driven by a few key accounts and global competition a constant threat, manufacturers
have little choice but to meet customer demand for innovative new products. This is driving efforts to build and strengthen
lasting customer relationships and deliver products and services that help companies move up the value chain, particularly in
the area of aftermarket sales and service. At the same time, manufacturers must contend with regulations such as the
restriction of certain hazardous substances (RoHS) and waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) directives in the
European Union and Sarbanes-Oxley in the United States. This is driving initiatives to increase visibility across the enterprise
and improve in the area of operational excellence. Not only do industry leaders like Applied Materials, Tokyo Electron, and
ASML run their business on SAP, but many best-run midsize semiconductor and electronic measurement equipment
manufacturers, such as KLA-Tencor, Lam Research, Novellus, and Varian Semiconductor, also run SAP. SAP’s industry-specific
functionality enables customers to leverage the SAP system to outperform their peers. With SAP’s unparalleled experience
in this industry, we’ve helped companies just like yours run more efficiently, more productively, and more profitably. 81
