Challenges

  • Legacy ERP backbone did not reflect the latest business scope or structure: consisting of obsolete supply chain tool design and missing integration of existing functions.
  • Process performance and deviations measurement was missing.
  • Business operations reporting lacked transparency.

Solution

  • Continuous improvement of process performance using fact-based insights.
  • Identifying bottlenecks for process automation.
  • Discovering Root Causes for process problems using the root cause analysis.

Business benefits

  • Conformant order lines went up from 40% to 80 %.
  • Order lines and volume increased by 60% - with the same supply chain headcount.
  • Geographical handicap was successfully mitigated.
