SAP-SRM Implementation: Global Automotive Giant

Client Requirement
The client organization is made up of a richly diverse group of people, as reflected in the company's leadership team and the numerous corporate outreach programs in which they participate in the community. To help the client strengthen and consolidate its network, a dedicated company was established to handle logistics procurement for North American-made parts. This company acts as a distribution network, arranging for the consolidation and transportation of parts from suppliers to client's assembly plants in Mexico and Japan.

The client had deployed its purchasing system using SAP R/3 (version 4.6C), Enterprise Buyer’s Professional (EBP version 2.0) in order to streamline non-production procurement processes and reduce cost through global sourcing. 

In its continuing pursuit to achieve a strategic solution for purchasing and to establish a stable and centralized procurement application for better supply strategies, expedited purchasing processes and reduced operating costs, the company was looking to improve the existing e-procurement functionality with an upgrade from EBP 2.0 to EBP 4.0.
