- Main raw material is wire rod:
• a steel wire about the thickness of a finger
• in a wide range of compositions and grades
• our annual purchase volume totals 2.5-2.8 million tons
- We manufacture all kinds of wire products
• by drawing wire rod through dies of diminishing sizes
• subjecting it to heat treatments of various kinds
- These wires can be
• bunched into cables and cords
• drawn into ultra-thin fibers
• woven or knitted into cloths
- Depending on the application, suitable high
technological coatings are applied to steel wires,
cords and cables, or other materials

Fit for Growth
In Bekaert, our strength comes from outstanding people, our global footprint and local reach, and our
position as a profitable, global company. We believe there is still room for growing more, and performing
even better!
Fit For Growth is our response to how we can become and remain the best in class!

on Functions

14. Bekaert restricted information14
What is the ambition of F4G ?
- Intrinsically motivate people to always be the best, and never be satisfied:
be irrepressible.
- Inspire people and retain & attract the right talent that is focused on insight
and content driven tactical or strategic tasks and subsequently accelerated
in their development.
- Drive a highly engaged organization that proactively connects outside the
hierarchical structures (cooperating with the business platforms, plants, etc.)
and also connects outside Bekaert.
- Support Bekaert’s growth ambition from EUR 4B to EUR 5B without
increasing Selling, General & Administrative spend.
- Build and embed capabilities that actively support growth through
strengthening the Mergers & Acquisitions, Business Development and
Innovation engines.
- Change the focus of activities from operational to more insight and content
driven tactical/strategic tasks.

16. Supply Chain
F4G OBJECTIVE
FOR SUPPLY CHAIN
2017 PLANS
Become a real demand driven supply chain, able to sense and shape demand by
reacting to real-time signals from customers, suppliers and employees. The
ultimate goal is to ensure the best service through responsiveness, while also
balancing inventory and cost.
1
2
Having a well-defined organization and processes in place, as they are
the foundation of building a responsive and coordinated supply chain,
leveraging scale to achieve the necessary agility in capturing demand
signals efficiently and effectively
Optimize our inventories by setting the right inventory
levels and parameters to support an optimal service

18. Why: SC and SCE
Yield : Balance Service, Cost and Cash
▪ Service
• Reduced lead times resulting in increased sales
• Balance mix based on capabilities, capacity and profit
• Optimized extended supply chain: KSA, VMI
▪ Cost
• Lowest cost to serve: production cost + transport cost + tax and duties
• Lowest cost to supply: material cost + transport cost + tax and duties +
production cost variance
• Optimized extended supply chain: KSA
▪ Cash
• Optimaized stock levels
• Increased asset utilization
▪ >>> ROCE support

Motivation : Co-drive
