Über den Kunden

A global manufacturer of confectionery, snack foods, and pet nutrition products, operating high-speed production across 16 manufacturing sites in five regions: North America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America.

The company managed approximately $85M in MRO-Bestand across 16 site storerooms and four regional distribution warehouses. Every facility ran SAP S/4HANA with SAP Plant Maintenance, yet spare parts management operated in site-level silos with no enterprise-wide visibility and no way to query the wider network before placing an external purchase order.

Years of brand-portfolio growth and facility expansion had left an MRO posture built for a smaller, more centralised operation. Spare parts criticality classifications, reorder points, and stocking logic varied site by site. Leadership decided to move from defensive overstocking to structured, risk-calibrated management across the full network, without replacing SAP.

Die Herausforderungen

How resolving these five gaps released $16M in working capital and eliminated food safety risk across 16 sites.

Seasonal campaign peaks drove critical wear part demand well above annual average rates, but reorder points had not been updated since SAP go-live.
Site storerooms were invisible to each other: 19 emergency orders placed in one year for parts sitting unused at a peer facility, each at a 40-70% expediting premium.
290+ line items flagged as at obsolescence risk with no qualified, food-grade certified alternate on record for any of them.
Daily work order review consumed 75-80% of planner time on items requiring no immediate action, burying genuine at-risk jobs in backlog noise.
Non-food-grade substitutions made under availability pressure, with no cross-site library of FDA or EU food-grade certified alternates to check before approving.

Was Sie lernen werden

In der vollständigen Fallstudie

How campaign seasonality was built into Bedarfsplanung to surface critical wear part gaps 10-12 weeks before peak production windows open.
How cross-site inventory visibility reduced avoidable emergency procurement events from 19 per year to near zero.
How 246 of 290 obsolescence-flagged items were resolved with certified food-grade alternates, each with a complete audit trail.
How AI-filtered work queues cut daily planner review to 15-20 genuine risk items per site per day, down from backlogs of 800-2,500 open items.
How dynamic reorder points were calculated and written directly to SAP PM on planner approval, without replacing the existing ERP.
How zero food safety substitution failures were sustained across all food-contact equipment and CIP systems in the 12 months following go-live.
