    Many global organizations inevitably wrestle with the challenges of operating centric manufacturing business
    across borders and cultures. This international sprawl often results in processes model to a globally decentralized

    effectively during periods of growth. When introducing global processes,

    chain business model to a model with
    a good balance of global governance
    and regional execution excellence.
    When companies introduce global standardization in processes aimed at enhancing
    globally influenced KPIs such as brand perception, process quality, etc, it is important to
    avoid any negative impact on locally influenced KPIs such as productivity, efficiency, and
    product quality. To do this, it is necessary to ensure the global template/standard can
    sufficiently accommodate specific local needs/process variations arising out of legal/
    regulatory/market-specific/cultural differences.

    A major Japanese life sciences company understood how standard processes could
    help it control business performance and make it easier to identify best practices by
    reviewing regional performance. After a careful review of its options, the organization
    chose Capgemini as its partner to ensure that its goal of designing a global business
    platform based on SAP S/4HANA was achieved. Capgemini’s value offerings, such as
    iCaptivate and the India SAP “factory’” model, ensured the client had the best-in-class
    ability to meet their number-one objective of a S/4HANA global standard business
    platform design.

    Building an SAP S/4HANA-based global business


    platform aligned with strategic goals

    To launch the project and achieve the organization’s objective of transforming its global
    supply chain model, the partners leveraged Capgemini’s proprietary ASE (Accelerated
    Solution Environment) offering to quickly share and align strategic goals and challenges
    among all the key members involved in the global business transformation. As a result,
    although the company’s regional leaders initially held conflicting expectations for
    the project, they were able to agree on a common understanding of the goals for the
    global standardization as well as the key challenges that they would need to overcome.
    Working with this knowledge, Capgemini began to perform a redesign of the company’s
    global standard business platform based on SAP S/4HANA.

    This design was focused on business processes, IT architecture, and master data
    management and leveraged Capgemini’s iCaptivate methodology, which introduced a
    range of standard business processes. To make the global business platform robust and
    sustainable, the partners proceeded to determine a set of universal guiding principles in
    order to identify how to capture disparate processes, manage master data, and define
    organizational structure with the standardized approach. These guiding principles
    became a toolkit containing simple rules that the company’s managers can use to
    analyze non-standard processes in different regions and easily decide what should be a
    part of the future global standard process that best aligns with its common strategy. In
    addition, the organization and Capgemini determined which non-SAP processes could
    be included as part of the global business platform and configured in alignment with
    the new functionalities.
    Some of the key business enablers of the revised S/4HANA design are:

    An action list for Standardized product and Uniform business performance


    global, strategic goals process quality levels levels at global sites

    Single global ERP instance to Optimized logistics processes Global master data governance
    leverage economies of scale such as global, end-to-end
    integrated planning that
    result in timely delivery

    Preparing for international implementation


    By the end of this design phase, the company and Capgemini had designed a global
    standard business platform based on SAP S/4HANA - enabled by SAP CPI Cloud
    Integration capability to seamlessly integrate with a wide range of IT assets (SAP, non-
    SAP, Cloud, on-premises, etc.) - with which every region could harmonize. With the
    global standard processes designed, the speed of product and service delivery could be
    measured based on a common set of KPIs.

    With the design revised to align with the business strategy, the company and Capgemini
    have shifted their focus to preparing for a global rollout. The partners have assembled
    a number of different teams that offer a range of expertise that will be essential for
    successful implementation. Once this project concludes, the organization will be able
    to operate with greater agility and more effectively manufacture, qualify, and deliver
    its goods while providing services around the world. Moreover, the organization will be
    better able to balance global demand and provide better services and more affordable
    products in an even more timely manner to medical institutes and patients on a
    worldwide scale.
