SAP S/4HANA Implementation
**Challenge:** A major automotive spare parts manufacturer with over 10,000 employees encountered difficulties in optimizing large-scale production, refining intricate business processes, consolidating its disjointed IT systems, and updating manual planning methods that depended on Excel spreadsheets.
**Solution:** LeverX deployed a holistic solution using SAP S/4HANA, enhancing processes across manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, distribution, finance, taxation, marketing, and customer support. The initiative incorporated implementations of SAP PP/DS, SAP MM, SAP BPC, and SAP EWM, focusing on production planning, procurement, warehouse management, and resource efficiency. It also integrated process automation, financial analytics, and sales/marketing tools.
**Results:** Inventory holding time was decreased by 3%, which optimized working capital and lowered storage expenses. The production cycle time was reduced by 4%, facilitating quicker adjustments to market demands. The initiative mitigated profit losses due to component shortages by 10%, resulting in adequate inventory levels. Total production costs were reduced from 0.1% to 0.5%, improving profitability and competitiveness. Delivery accuracy improved by 5%, enhancing customer satisfaction. The financial period closing process was regulated, accelerating financial reporting and decision-making. The automation of bank statement registrations increased by 96%, simplifying financial reporting procedures. Centralized data management eliminated outdated and duplicate information, ensuring accurate data management.
