Our Supply Chain

102 – 10 Significant changes to the organization and its supply chain

 

In the 2017/18 financial year, dormakaba has combined its two smallest segments, Key Systems and Movable Walls, to form the Key & Walls Solutions segment with a joint leadership team. The individual businesses have not been merged operationally and continue to be run under separate brands. Further, we came to an agreement to divide existing shareholding in Dorset Kaba among the joint venture partners as per agreed terms, thus dissolving the joint venture that was initiated by former Kaba Group in 2007. Two divestments took place, one being the sale of our low-performing business Dorma Beschlagtechnik. This was followed in September 2017 by the sale of Chinese company GMT, due to the existing business portfolio and the prospects for profitability. Further adjustments to the business portfolio include two larger acquisitions. We acquired Australian company Kilargo in July 2017 to strengthen our market position in the Pacific region. In the same month, we acquired Skyfold, a Canadian producer of automated vertical partition wall systems that has a strong position in North America. As part of the post-merger integration activities, the relocation of standard door closer production from Ennepetal to Singapore has been accomplished in June 2018.

In the 2017/18 financial year, dormakaba was subject to CHF 6,215 in fines due to non-compliance with environmental laws and regulations pertaining to two locations. In one case this was due to administrative errors on the side of the company. In the other location, fines were imposed due to a wastewater spill after the site was hit by a typhoon. A new waste iron residue capture place was constructed, with a ditch diversion and a catchment for collecting any leaking oil in future. There is anti-seepage treatment on the ground. A further fine was given for operating a painting line without the required environmental impact assessment and environmental protection equipment. Since the incident, the issue has been corrected and the company has received qualified environmental impact assessment reports.

Currently the approximately 11,000 dormakaba employees with computer access are able to participate in the dormakaba elearning platform. This represents 63% of the dormakaba employee base. Of these, 26% (2,807 employees) have completed at least one online module. The average training time of these employees is 1.7 hours. In the future, dormakaba will further promote the use of elearning and also consider access options for blue collar employees, e.g. dedicated rooms or multimedia terminals for online learning. Tracking of classroom training hours has taken place on a local level. For instance, the average training time per employee per year in the general sales workforce is 5 working days in India (AS APAC). In Suzhou, average classroom trainings for shop floor employees are 14 hours per year per employee. Office employees average 16 hours per year. The subsidiary TLHM Co. Ltd. in China North Asia shows training time as 13 hours per employee per year. Taishan employees have an average training time of 1.5 hours per employee per year. In the Pacific region, service technicians undergo between 8 and 12 hours of training per year, whereas sales representatives undergo between 4 and 16 hours training per year. Approximately 2 hours of training per employee per year and 24 hours of training per manager per year are offered in Swiss and Austrian sites. Belgium provided an average training time of 17 hours per employee in the 2017/18 financial year. In Italy, the Key Systems facility offers an average of 12 hours of training for every employee. In India, business unit Key Systems has an average annual training of 12 – 16 hours per employee (including apprentices and contractors). In the Modernfold facility, production supervisors receive approximately 16 hours of training per year. Office and management employees have at least 8 hours of training in class, on-the-job or e-learning. In the coming years, the coverage of this data will be improved.
