Too bad that deutsch telecom sucks so much ! I hope they will install his phone line as soon as possible !

*Ben voice* Sure you will ! In only 3 more members you will have complete your training my young padawan. This will lead you to the rank of moderator knight. But before, you have to fight against your father

It will help their supply chain. As I'm now working on a supply chain organisation, I know how important it is IN CASE THE BUSINESS WORKS. So if Lego needs to product a lot of pieces, it will help them. But they first need some people to buy sets :huh: This is another problem

As apophys said, they look colder, which is in my opinion a good point for the new gray. After all, castles are made of stone, which is a cold material. It will help you in rendering a better castle atmospheer. I still do think those new grays are really good. I have a lot of the old ones and I hope to get at least the same amount of new gray pieces. What I wonder now is : "do kids care bout this color change ?". If they don't, then I don't, cause it will help sales :rolleyes: But I remember that as a kid I didan't care about color. Shape was the most important thing ! Color were always mixed awfully together. SO the main questioon should be : is color more important than shape for kids ?

I don't think they will create a lego version. It is obviously only a video... But let's hope they will do it ! :P

I guess this is a french word used in the wrong form. "ing

It will help me in driving back home everyday and find my dear computer. So then i'll be able to watch out what' you're doing :) The fact is that I'm actually staying in friends' house and they don't have an internet access. And the internet access at work is only 128kbits/sec... Comparred to my 5,5mbits/sec... Oh, I forgot, I will have a great news for the contest soon ;)

I go away for 5 days and when i come back, it's an absolut mess ! ;) I hope to get my car soon so I can watch you guys !

I hope to see you as often as possible ! I am currently a little bit less online those time cause of my work, but I'll get a car this week and all will come back in order !

Sweet ! Too bad the video for the game was censored in france

New gray is perfect for the old ships looks in SW. Instead of 2 gray variations, I got 4 ! And before we only had one gray so I cannot complain :)

Link don't work for me (: /

The essential is to try. But I doubt you could have won on this one C:P

Actualy this is the point :<

Only four more members. If only all the new members could post... But I think they are afraid by double T who posted already almost 500 posts. <_< I can still remember the day we were at 31 each

I found an extra job for extra money so I'll be able to roder it soon (and still save some money). The next step will be the ISD :P I guess cl

You shouldn't minimise this info. Almost everything is automatoc in the billund factory : you have robots everywhere and good programs for the supply chain are requested ! Good manager are also requested, this should be the next step for LEGO ;)

he he don't listen to doubleT. I am the master of the keys here ! I am the only one to have the access to the server where the forum is located ! The only language you have to speak are english and french. Some german can also be requested but only 22 minutes after the 2 other :rolleyes:

39,9% in France. thanks for putting this thread out off topic in the 3rd message ! We've never been that fast :rolleyes:

SAP is a software provide by a german company (shame on you dude ^^). This is the most famous software for big companies who wan to integrate all the offices in one big program. After installing SAP you can fire at will :lol: (I hope you will anderstand this joke)

Lego builds a future with IBM Issue Date Aug 11, 2003 ARMONK, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 11, 2003--IBM today announced it has been selected by the LEGO Company to help it use technology to more efficiently meet seasonal peaks in demand for its products. As part of the multi-year agreement, LEGO will lower costs and gain efficiencies by consolidating its existing global informational technology (IT) platform from over 220 Hewlett Packard servers to a fully integrated, open infrastructure using 34 of IBM's eServer and IBM Enterprise Storage Server systems. Today's announcement represents a strategic decision by the LEGO Company to work with IBM globally as a strategic IT partner. After a reassessment of its IT requirements based on the need for a closer alignment between business and IT, the LEGO Company chose IBM for its ability to offer flexible costs, along with an innovative IT usage model that allows the company to pay only for the computing capacity it uses. As part of the agreement, IBM will make spare computing capacity available to LEGO to meet peak surges in customer demand. "We are operating in a very competitive environment and need to respond to the dynamics of our market at a moment's notice," said Hal Yarbrough, senior director, Global IT, LEGO Company. "The IBM solution allows us to drastically reduce the number of servers and storage units we have across the business, which is clearly a positive benefit. However, the key reason for going with IBM was the flexibility their solution offered. IBM was able to provide an on-demand solution that matched our business needs for a cohesive, worldwide IT infrastructure, while also adapting itself to our very cyclical business and need for rapid introduction of new products." LEGO Company, the only European manufacturer listed in the world's top ten best selling toys, competes in a dynamic market place where demand for its products fluctuates and is impacted by seasonal peaks such as the pre-Christmas purchasing rush and large scale marketing campaigns. The new IBM e-business on demand solution will enable the company to more easily set up new projects and test their viability without major investments in new systems. The LEGO Company will consolidate its existing IT platform from over 220 HP and Compaq servers to a fully integrated, open infrastructure using IBM's leading Unix eServer pSeries p690 (2) and p650 (4) servers, eServer xSeries x440 servers (24) and IBM Enterprise Storage Server systems servers (4). The solution also includes Tivoli Storage Manager software. IBM's e-business on demand approach not only reduce the total amount of servers used by LEGO by a factor of seven, but also provides new levels of business flexibility through dynamic addition and reallocation of processing and storage capacity according to varying business volumes and priorities. Working with IBM, the LEGO Company will be able to purchase fully configured server and storage systems at a lower cost and turn on additional capacity only when required. "We are very excited to work with the LEGO Company and see this as a significant milestone in our mission to deliver the best e-business on demand solutions to our worldwide customers. Our commitment to the LEGO Company enables them to gain a competitive advantage in the market through an on demand computing infrastructure that permits new levels of integration and productivity. LEGO can now access computing power and capabilities when and wherever their business demands it" said Lars Stanley Nielsen, director of IBM eServer Systems Sales. LEGO Company LEGO Company is one of the world's leading manufacturers of play materials for children. Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, CEO and president, is third generation of the family-owned company. The LEGO Company is committed to the development of children's creative and imaginative abilities, and its employees are guided by the motto adopted in the 1930's by the founder Ole Kirk Christiansen: "Only the best is good enough". The name "LEGO" derives from the Danish expression for Play Well (LEg Godt).

Some of you wanted me to keep them updated of the LEGO-economy/business. here are some informations about LEGO and its new ERP : LEGO Builds Business Success in Eleven Weeks At LEGO, the company wanted to improve processes, increase supply chain integration, and start collaboration as quickly as possible. In order to do so, LEGO and SAP used new implementation and project-management practices, including identification of key performance indicators (KPIs); rapid business assessment, process mapping, and blueprinting; prototyping and knowledge transfer; functionality transfer to the SAP system; user acceptance; and phased process activation. From start to finish, LEGO was able to realize value in only eleven weeks and then took an additional five weeks time adjusting its implemented solution for high-season business and sustained rapid value. "We had some very clear business objectives and needed quick ROI. However, we wanted to minimize risk and make sure that the project was manageable both in scope and budget," said Lars Radoor Sorensen, vice president, Global Logistics, for LEGO. "SAP understood our needs and was able to provide us with proven solutions for global available-to-promise and sales allocation. These solutions were implemented in only eleven weeks. More importantly, we expect to improve a number of KPIs, including delivery performance, production flexibility, and asset utilization."
