Business need With its role as a supplier of engines to the VW Group growing, the company needed to ensure that it could respond rapidly to changes in the supply chain. |
Key challenges This requirement meant simplifying its processes and better integrating them with those of other business units in the VW group. |
Solution IBM On Demand Business and IBM Business Consulting Services Audi Hungaria worked with IBM Business Consulting Services to redesign and integrate its supply chain processes, all of it implemented under the umbrella of a new SAP solution. An automated systems management platform was deployed to make the system more flexible, robust and manageable. |
Results AHM's production parts planning cycle is 10 times faster than under the previous solution. The flexibility of the new systems management framework facilitates AHM's growing role in the VW supply chain by enabling rapid process integration and automation. The framework's single point of control simplifies systems management, reducing integration costs and improving IT productivity. Integrating supply chain processes end-to-end provides more visibility into key information flows -- supporting decision-making. |
