Leading Paper and Pulp company improve their planning process with variant configuration
Greenfield project to implement SAP DIMP solution with variant configuration and integration with MES.
The Situation
- Heterogeneous system environment
- Unstandardized business processes with many local variants
- Many paper-based business transactions internally & externally
- Inefficient inter-company processes due to a large number of independent country organizations
The Solution
- Implementation of redesigned and optimized supply chain processes with SCM 7.0 (DP, SNP, PP/DS, Global ATP, TP/VS), ECC 6.0
- Change of the business organization of Pulp & Paper to a single business entity which groups operations in 10 previously rather independent countries in one legal entity
- External partner integration with Collaborative Transportation Planning and online sales order entry for VMI orders
- Pilot implementation and rollout to 30 locations (10 countries)
The Result
- Standardized, fully integrated, and scalable system environment
- Streamlined supply chain processes including intercompany
Significant reduction of paper-based processes
