Harsco selects IBM as consulting partner

American industrial services company Harsco has selected IBM as its consulting partner for a business transformation initiative designed.

IBM has said that it will perform an analysis to determine where improvements in Harsco's supply chain can be made. IBM will then develop the roadmap for an integrated supply chain that encompasses sourcing, procurement, logistics, planning, inventory and order management, and cash management.

IBM will also work with Harsco to help improve efficiencies and economies in Harsco's worldwide selling, general and administrative cost structure.

Salvatore Fazzolari, chairman and CEO of Harsco, said: "The intelligent supply chain of the future aligns perfectly with our One Harsco objectives for creating long-term strategic advantage as a more globally integrated and optimized enterprise.

"Working with IBM gives us access to one of the premier leaders in this field. Moreover, when completed at the end of 2010, we expect this project to improve our return on invested capital and also contribute to Harsco's economic value added growth."
