Company Overview and Challenges Faced
The Schaeffler Group needs to integrate its numerous systems into one to help streamline operational processes and flexibly respond to new challenges and opportunities.
The Schaeffler Group is a world-leading supplier of precision bearings and drive technologies for the automotive and industrial sectors, and ranked among the Fortune Global 500 in 2023.
Implementation Measures
• SAP Recyclable Packaging Management
For its automotive customers, the Schaeffler Group provides high-precision components and systems for powertrain and chassis applications; for industrial enterprises, it offers rolling bearing and plain bearing solutions. As its products are shipped to customers worldwide, the company needs to achieve smooth container management internally, as well as with suppliers and customers. Key Challenges • Difficulty in Packaging and Business Demand Response : The distributed container management application architecture makes it difficult to promptly adapt to packaging trends and new business requirements. • Lack of Management Transparency : Container management lacks transparency. The reconciliation of customer returnable packaging relies on manual outsourcing, and information about container suppliers is scattered across third-party systems. • High System Maintenance Costs : The existing system architecture requires a large amount of maintenance work. There is an urgent need to integrate multiple systems to simplify operations and address challenges.
• This is an industry cloud solution that enables nearly seamless end-to-end integration of the container management cycle within a single solution — from delivery by suppliers and to customers, to in-company circulation, and finally back to the company. • It simplifies operational processes and enhances the tracking and management of packaging materials.
Migration Achievements and Value Enhancement
• Supply Chain Optimization Value: Enhance the transparency of packaging material inventory, empower an efficient and stable supply chain, reduce delivery failures, and ensure the smooth operation of global business. • Collaboration and Service Burden Reduction: Improve collaboration with suppliers and customers + enable self-service, facilitate the operation of packaging materials, and reduce workload.
