SOLUTION
Phase #1
Initial DMS Single Source, document change process, Visual Enterprise
The initial phase of the SAP PLM implementation focused on activating SAP CAD Integration and SAP Visual Enterprise. This is the foundation of a strong PLM vision, providing versioning, revisions, history and full linkage between documentation and SAP master data. Over 500,000 CAD files were analyzed and converted from PDMWorks and various network drives into the SAP DMS environment. This represented 17 distinct types of documents and enabled comprehensive and consistent security and change controls for engineering documents.
Phase #2
Project Management 1 — Migrate to SAP PPM, sunset old PM software
Phase 2 focused on implementing the SAP PPM module and gaining better visibility and control over project resources. The PPM solution enabled the ability to create projects, assign resources, track project time, and report and manage to resource PTO time. One hundred twenty projects were set up in PPM with 5 levels of expense approval and status network. A KPI dashboard was created driven from 200 columns of project data. Reports were developed for project status, key milestones and assigned hours, enabling greater management visibility across all initiatives.
Phase #3
Expand DMS, initial ECM process & basic workflow via IPS
The core emphasis in Phase 3 was Engineering Change management, and included an upgrade to the core SAP platform. By implementing the Integrated Process Solution (IPS) add on from LeverX, our client enabled department control over key product development and modification workflow processes. Engineering can build new workflows to break down key change notice database and Master Data Management processes. An email enabled approval workflow was designed to enable users to be able to approve changes without having to log into SAP itself.
Phase #4
Expand Portfolio & Project Management
This phase of the project is ongoing, and emphasizes expanded PPM capabilities improving upon project resource management, project cost management robust project reporting and PPM Workflow. Improving upon executive dashboards and reporting standards based on usage of PPM from phase 2 was a key driver here and a dashboard updated to include 250 columns of project data was included. Easy Document Management for project documents was also implemented, ensuring the goal of a Single Source of Truth within the SAP ecosystem was achieved. LeverX IPS was utilized to implement workflow for PPM Project Phase approval.
