Today, as the global economic landscape is undergoing a profound restructuring, Chinese companies’ “going global” has become an irreversible trend. However, data shows that more than 60% of companies are hindered in the process of internationalization and face many challenges such as market, politics, and culture. It is crucial for companies to effectively utilize resources and advantages to achieve low-risk and low-cost overseas expansion.
The business owner in the case shared this time is a national key specialized and innovative "little giant" enterprise and a national high-tech enterprise. It is one of the very few general electronic test and measurement instrument companies in the world that has the ability to develop, produce and sell the four main general electronic test and measurement instruments: digital oscilloscopes, signal generators, spectrum analyzers and vector network analyzers.
Implementation Scope
Organization Scope
- The project was implemented by 6 legal entities in 5 regions (China, the United States, Germany, Japan, and a Southeast Asian country), and the above business goals were achieved through a 7-month implementation.
Implementation Modules
- Material management (MM), production planning and control (PP), sales and distribution (SD), financial accounting (FI), cost control (CO), quality management (QM), plant maintenance (PM)
Project Challenges
- The global deployment of marketing and R&D teams has increased the complexity of company management. Two production bases in Shenzhen and a Southeast Asian country, along with multiple trading entities, are unable to meet the requirements for efficient accounting and operational analysis.
- The R&D, delivery, and service cycles of product operations require the group to undergo a profound transformation of supply chain collaboration, leveraging a highly digitized supply chain system to achieve lean operations and costs.
- Manual demand linkage, long MRP lead times, a large number of new product codes, frequent material upgrades, and extensive BOM maintenance work have resulted in difficulties in material delivery, severely impacting customer satisfaction.
- The increasingly complex scale of business development requires the group to rapidly improve cross-functional collaboration. However, the decentralized development of information technology across multiple business formats has slowed responsiveness across various business functions.
- The lack of refined financial management methods has led to the predominantly manual processing of financial, management, and consolidated reports, resulting in long accounting cycles and the potential for errors, which in turn impacts employee efficiency.
Project Goal
- Management Integration: Rapidly build an integrated operations platform to achieve a "global, unified, and refined" management approach, meeting various control and risk prevention requirements.
- Process Integration: Streamline control processes to achieve closed-loop management, ensuring "management requirements are delivered and implementation is reported." Interdepartmental collaboration processes are streamlined.
- Plan Integration: Streamline the synergy between sales, production, and supply to form a comprehensive production, supply, and marketing planning system. Leverage SAP's MRP functionality to strengthen on-demand production, on-demand procurement, and rationalize inventory stocking to balance supply and demand, improving turnover and operational efficiency.
- Business and Finance Integration: Integrate financial rules into business processes to implement the management and control requirements of business and finance integration. Standardize cost structures to achieve refined cost accounting and analysis, and transform finance's responsibilities from post-accounting to in-process oversight.
- Data Integration: With SAP at the core, integrate multiple systems, including Salesforce, MES, OA, Golden Tax, and express delivery systems, to achieve shared data and information. Streamline data flows to promote transparency in business processes and lay the foundation for data-driven decision-making.
Project Benefits
- VC is being deployed to plan the R&D, production, and sales of our own brands, enabling data sharing and value-added.
- Integrating established processes for order review, bare metal forecasting and material preparation, monthly production planning, and order change management improves scheduling efficiency and increases delivery rates.
- Regular production and sales coordination meetings mitigate the risk of last-minute order insertions, allowing timely adjustments to pre-order and actual discrepancies, enhancing production flexibility and reducing the risk of high inventory levels.
- Batch and serial number management is being implemented to enable full product lifecycle tracking.
- Automated financial, management, and consolidated reports are being generated, shifting the finance function from accounting to management.
- Automated inter-company and inter-profit center cross-correlations enable group cost reduction.
- Product, order, and salesperson profitability analysis is enabled.
- With SAP at its core, integration with Salesforce, MES, OA, Golden Tax, and express delivery systems creates an efficient, integrated group information system.
