Electronic Computer Manufacturer #2 Sub #10 transformed its supply chain planning processes. It consolidated 3 ERP systems and 17 network models into a single cloud-based solution using Kinaxis and SAP IBP. This provided end-to-end visibility and enabled generating a supply plan in 15 minutes versus over 7 days previously. Advanced analytics and machine learning were applied to improve demand forecasting and dependent demand planning. Supplier collaboration was also enhanced through the Ariba network. While data integration proved more complex than estimated, the transformation established a foundation for future excellence in supply chain planning.

Executive Summary
How the project
started?
• 3 ERP systems, each region communicating separately with CM/ODM and Component Suppliers
• Planning cycle took >7 days. Supply planning run took 15 hours
• Unreliable forecast signals largely ignored by CM/ODM/Tier-2. Manual processes and new business
roles created to “correct” system errors.
• Task in hand: help figure out how to send 1 single reliable procurement signal to critical component
suppliers
• Business were convinced that Kinaxis will solve all their issues; prior SAP demos poorly executed
Transformation;
what makes us
proud!!
• Simplified product structure (11+ levels, 1000+ configuration rules to 4 key components)
• One single data model for all supply chain with full network, inventory and demand/supply visibility
• We drove the E2E planning transformation with demand, supply, S&OP and supplier collaboration
• 1st IBP book with SAP and product co-development of IBP; We operated on the bleeding edge
• Most complex planning transformation using IBP and one of the best references, globally
The supply chain
is built for future
excellence
• Foundation built for characteristics based planning Ii.e. plan for modules and not parts)
• Excellent foundation for M&A – multiple ERPs does not matter – cloud based and connects to any dB
• Basic principles covered – opportunities to finetune further: inventory planning, optimizer, etc.
• Add advanced functionalities such as Response Mgmt (i.e. how to resolve supply constraint real time)
• 1 single platform, hence easier to institutionalize ‘command and control’ and planning CoE

Planning Transformation Drivers
S&OP.
Supplier Collaboration
Demand Planning
Supply Planning
• Custom Solution around attach rates, netting
and forecast consumption
• Lack of segmentation and adoption to
business changes
• Data integration challenges and latency
• Offline process and systems
• Plan driven significantly based on financial flash and
not projected sales
• Lack of accountability throughout process with multiple
“plans”
• Informal connection points between sales, supply
chain, demand planning
• Focus on operational, reactive activities
• Poor Supplier Forecast Signal due to very complex
technical process with various errors in the day-to-day
execution which are time-consuming to assess
• Very expensive to onboard new suppliers in a peer-to-
peer onboarding process
• Limited visibility in the signal which actually goes out
(only available as XML file, hard to read and check for
errors)
• Inconsistent methods (Manual/ Automatic) for critical
global supplier base in outsourced manufacturing model
• Lack of a global consolidated Demand and Supply
Picture
• Lack of inventory visibility across 17 different
network models
• Manual Supply Demand match and exception
management
• Functions and supply chain nodes operate
sequentially and in silos – Cumbersome analysis
based on inaccurate, obsolete or inadequate data
• Decision making is slow and done with little
insight into the operational and financial impacts
Electronic Computer Manufacturer #2 Sub #10’s planning practices had several shortcomings including poor
demand management, inability to drive a single consistent supply plan, S&OP process and supplier
collaboration

Supply
Planning
• Dashboards to provide real-time insights
into all the planning information, from
demand plans to unconstrained
requirement plans, supplier commitments
and projected inventory
• Reporting on excess inventory as an input
to the excess and obsolescence processes
• Actionable alerts which users can leverage
to perform a true management by
exception
• Interactive planning views for users to

Problem Statement:
• Supply Network Planning in Electronic Computer Manufacturer #2 Sub
#10 was driven using parallel MRP Runs, one for “Long Term Planning”
exploding the full bill of material for forecasting, one for “Operational
Planning” to generate purchase orders
• This process was time consuming, and inflexible as users could not
interactively run supply planning BOM Explosions
Problem Statement:
• In order to find the relationship between severs and the options which go in to
them (Processors, HDD/SSD, Memories), users have to manually maintain the
relationship between the servers and the options on various levels (Family, Line,
SKU)
• This information was used via a custom program in APO which was perceived to
provide very inaccurate results, implying there the dependent planning results
could not be leverages in most cases
Innovations
What we are proud of!
Planning BOMS Data Science Approach to Attach Rates
Innovation:
• Build a planning BOM concept which allows to extract the flattened out bill
of material which will be used in supply planning, allowing the IBP system
to explode the bill of material in interactive planning runs.
• This reduces the complexity foundationally, and makes IBP the system of
reference to drive supplier collaboration and planning up to commodity
level without using MRP BOM explosions
Innovation:
• Team up with Deloitte’s Data Science Practice to find a machine learning
approach to this problem statement.
• While the effort is still in progress, initial results look promising and there
is strong excitement in the Electronic Computer Manufacturer #2 Sub #10
organization, especially looking forward to the new product structure

Lessons Learned!!
What
can
be
done
better
• Data integration required more attention than we initially estimated (3 different ERPs)
• Network finalization i.e. commodity level network flow should be detailed out right in the beginning
• Due to complexity of the master data, additional time was needed for business validation
• Sprint plan worked…for design and build; but important factors were not incorporated:
• Understanding of network
• Master and transaction data changes required due to changes in the network
• Limited Resource from Electronic Computer Manufacturer #2 Sub #10 (now <Company Name>) to address
the issues
• Keeping every single decision / approval documented was very useful
• Close collaboration with the SAP Support and Development organization to efficiently resolve functionality gaps an
tickets
• Communication, communication, communication
• In Agile projects, ensure to check assumptions quickly
