This is a wiring-harness manufacturer serving customers at home and abroad with high quality and delivery demands. With SAP ERP at the core, it built a finance-business integrated platform spanning procurement-production-sales and people-finance-assets: daily financial close and granular costing let finance oversee operations; MRP optimized inventory allocation and tracked dead stock to lift turnover and capital efficiency; and full quality traceability from materials to delivery lets overseas customers check production progress and quality reports anytime.
Why They Needed This Upgrade
Before: Challenges & Opportunities
- Multiple production lines run in parallel and orders are highly customized, calling for standardized management
- Operations had relied on a 'rule by people' style, lacking standardization and real-time data sharing
- Downstream sectors such as rail and medical have strict requirements for product quality traceability
Implementation Goals
- Build a finance-business integrated platform for procurement-production-sales and people-finance-assets on SAP ERP, analyzing the business structure from a financial perspective
- Sort out internal management and business processes and job responsibilities, build a financial control system, and optimize the business and staffing structure
- Strengthen production management, quality traceability and visible production progress, so overseas customers can be given production-progress and quality reports anytime
