Gerdau reviews

There are always a lot of initiatives rolling through the company but they always have a related theme which is improve safety or control costs. If you work toward those goals you are always making it, but they have consultants come up with 15 ways to report the numbers in different ways. The real areas that need more oversight are procurement and sales as policy compliance is rarely followed and simply overlooked and those variances derail everything else.

Becoming more interested in management reporting than making steel and serving customers. There is a tremendous push to complete all of the management systems work, but there are not enough people to do it all. Some new initiatives such as shared services do not seem to have been well thought out. If I now have to fill out a form and submit to another something I used to type directly into the system - how does that save any money?
