The sustainable innovation we discovered at Dana Corporation involves the internal management systems the company uses to run its everyday operations. These management systems are called Enterprise Resource Planning systems (ERP). These systems run everything from the manufacturing floor to the payroll system. Currently most of Dana’s sites around the world run on different ERP systems, and most of the systems they are running are outdated and crash a lot. This creates inefficiency within the business and leads to a lot of waste. In order to remedy this situation an internal IT team decided to come up with a system that will unite all of the companies’ sites, and put them on one ERP. This IT integration is led by Andrew Etgen and it is an effort to increase the efficiency of Dana’s manufacturing plants all over the world. Andrew is an SAP FICO Analyst, and IT Project Coordinator at Dana Corporation. It is his job to oversee the integration of the new system at the local Maumee site.
