S/4HANA implementation at an international automotive supplier

Our client is an international automotive supplier with 50 locations worldwide. The S/4HANA implementation was to be carried out for one of its business units, which specializes in roof and convertible roof systems as well as parking heaters.

The previously heterogeneous system landscape, which consisted of various SAP and non-SAP systems, led to inconsistent master data and a non-transparent inventory situation. The customer's primary goal was to introduce a uniform standard system for 23 locations in order to create transparency across global processes and harmonize them.

Challenge

  • Template setup in the areas FI/CO, SD, EWM, PP and QM
  • Rollout at a total of 23 locations worldwide
  • Previously heterogeneous ERP landscape with SAP, Microsoft Dynamics and "Others"
  • Entry into the ongoing project

Project Goals

  • Introduction of S/4HANA at 23 locations with a template approach in the SAP standard
  • Implementation of a central system for all locations with harmonized processes

Main benefit for the Customer

  • Efficiently implemented business processes
  • Integrated intercompany processes
  • Utilization of synergies within the group
  • Reliable and standardized master data
  • Transparent and global inventory information
  • Fast and intelligent reporting solutions

Project Management

CONSILIO was brought in during the ongoing project and was initially limited to supporting the implementation in the EWM area. A particular challenge was to analyze and optimize the existing implementations. CONSILIO's project participants impressed with their high level of professionalism and solution-oriented approach and were awarded the contracts for implementation support in the FI/CO, SD, PP and QM modules. The focus of the template creation and implementation was on SAP standard solutions.
