Business Challenge
The business challenge involves aligning the business strategy and target processes with an optimized SAP-based IT architecture, integrating APS and ERP systems. This requires overcoming a scattered IT tools landscape, heterogeneous processes, and weak Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). The company must implement an advanced planning and scheduling system on top of SAP while migrating from a heavily modified current SAP version to SAP S4/HANA. Additionally, managing multilevel production wheels in planning and scheduling adds to the complexity of this transformation.

- Conducted a fit/gap analysis and optimized business & IT blueprint.
- Running a diagnostic of change readiness (people & organization)
- Defined processes in alignment with business strategy.
- Delivered on-site training and coaching in new processes.
Main Results
- Developed a global process and IT blueprint.
- Harmonized planning and scheduling approaches for capacity and materials.
- Integration model for APS platform with new SAP S4/HANA.
