Info
  • we have decide that the Nodes in EADM and EICO will stay as today with no adaptation for GBU
  • Nodes RDR(RD) and EMSV(Marketing and sales). The GBU can create a NODE for themself in level 3(considering ZCBS level0), with different subnodes in level 4 according to their own criteria (normally very close to the concept of activity 1) and the CCs in level 5. This is already created for SA and Special Chem. it will be pending Specialty Polimer; Peroxides and Emerging Biochemical
