Project: Implementation of mySAP core modules

Chief GM (IT)
JK Tyre, a leading manufacturer of
truck and bus tyres in India, has three manufacturing plants
located in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka. Its network of
tyre plants, head offices and regional offices span the length and
breadth of the country.
The entire planning process for its
operations was earlier done manually, so information required for
planning and decision making was usually outdated and
inaccurate.
Its team had to put in enormous efforts to achieve, compile and
analyze data. Also, a lot of time was spent in processes. For
instance, communicating the defective tyre claim award to the
customer had a lead time of 4-5 days, from inspection to delivery
of the claim award. Much time was spent in fire fighting and crisis
management. There was a strong need to centralize data and
processes.
The operational field force needed
up-to-date information on products, processes and customers for
faster decision making. A system was needed for people, process and
technology integration and for supply chain
optimization.
The firm addressed this issue byimplementing mySAP core modules.
These are SD, MM, FI/CO, PP, QM and BW modules besides new
dimension modules like Supply Chain Optimization, Product Lifecycle
Management, Customer Relationship Management and Strategic
Enterprise Management.
Post implementation, the entire planning process has been automated
with flexibility for manual intervention wherever required. The
entire process has efficiently integrated the Sales and Marketing
teams with no need for cross functional
follow-up.
