In the challenging global business environment, digital transformation has become an inevitable trend for enterprise development. However, traditional ERP systems often face problems such as long implementation cycles, high costs, and high risks, making it difficult to meet the flexible needs of modern enterprises, especially in the mechanical manufacturing industry. The pain points of mechanical manufacturing enterprises mainly focus on production management, inventory optimization, and cost control. With the diversification of orders and the increasing demand for customer customization, the complexity of production scheduling and order management has significantly increased. At the same time, the fragmentation of information among departments has led to inventory backlog, resource waste, and exacerbation of inaccurate cost accounting issues.
To help high growth enterprises in the mechanical industry quickly respond to these challenges, SAP has launched the GROW with SAP solution package, which includes a series of SAP cloud product solutions, accelerated adoption services, community support, and learning resources, ensuring that different enterprises can quickly adopt ERP digital cores, easily access SAP’s industry best practices accumulated over 50 years, better respond to dynamic market demands, achieve efficient digital transformation, help mechanical manufacturing enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency, innovate and grow, and face the future.
Taking the casting industry upstream of the mechanical manufacturing industry as an example, as an upstream industry of mechanical manufacturing and equipment manufacturing, it provides key components for multiple pillar industries such as automobiles, petrochemicals, steel, and electricity, and has extremely high industry importance. However, with the increasing trend of order customization and small batch customization, traditional management models have become inadequate in areas such as order management, inventory, and production management. To better meet these needs, the GROW with SAP solution package provides innovative solutions for enterprises in the casting and other mechanical manufacturing industries.
In the digital transformation of the mechanical manufacturing industry, the GROW with SAP solution package has been proven to be effective, such as in the casting industry of the mechanical manufacturing industry. A domestic precision casting company is a typical case of successful application of this solution package, marking an innovative breakthrough in the digitalization field of the casting industry in Greater China.
The casting industry in mechanical manufacturing, as the foundation of the pillar industry, is currently facing a rapid increase in demand customization. Foundry enterprises usually start trial production and small-scale production from the research and development design stage, gradually shifting towards large-scale production. The production mode also gradually transforms from singularity to small-scale, multi variety, and large-scale customization. The traditional management model is difficult to cope with these changes, which can easily lead to resource waste, delayed response, and cost control in order management, inventory, and production scheduling. Therefore, the foundry industry needs more efficient and flexible ERP systems to address pain points in operations. For example, the GROW with SAP solution package that we are going to share next.
The GROW with SAP solution package provides comprehensive support to mechanical manufacturing enterprises, including casting, by helping them obtain SAP’s industry best practices and agile delivery methods that have been accumulated for over 50 years
Standardization and automation: helping enterprises optimize end-to-end business processes and improve cross departmental collaboration efficiency.
Flexible business expansion capability: supporting global expansion, managing diverse orders, and flexible cost control to adapt to business growth needs.
Real time data and intelligent decision-making: Through data-driven operations and business intelligence, help enterprises better predict demand and optimize resource allocation.
Simplified cost management: By adopting a pay as you go model, capital expenditures are converted into operating costs, effectively reducing total cost of ownership (TCO).
A domestic precision casting company has several employees and dozens of production and testing facilities, with products covering multiple industries such as agriculture, automobiles, railways, petrochemicals, and construction. The company is facing problems of extensive production management, information silos, and high production costs, and urgently needs a digital transformation solution to enhance its level of refined management. Their management realized that improving business precision decision-making and operational efficiency through digital transformation is the key to achieving breakthroughs for enterprises, so they chose SAP’s GROW with SAP solution package to help enterprises with digital transformation.
With the support of the GROW with SAP solution package, they have achieved a comprehensive digital upgrade, from procurement, sales, production, logistics to financial and cost control, middle platform construction, and PDA reporting system, comprehensively updating the information system architecture. Its main achievements include:
Through the SAP best business practices of GROW with SAP solution package, a domestic precision casting company optimized its business processes and improved its management level. The production assistance system records the work reporting, semi-finished product inbound and outbound, and quality data during the production process, finely allocating the costs of materials, labor, and expenses in the production process, significantly enhancing the quality traceability capability. In the work order flow, the system helps to streamline the process flow and BOM, and strengthen production order management. Based on production orders, operational control and order tracking have improved the real-time and standardized nature of production management.
The GROW with SAP solution package has helped a domestic precision casting company achieve more flexible fund deployment, more accurate inventory data, consistent accounts and reality, and fast report generation. With the help of business intelligence analysis, the SAP cloud solution within the GROW with SAP solution package supports multi-dimensional data analysis, providing stronger data support for business decision-making. Through real-time collaboration of MRP, efficient linkage between production planning and procurement planning has been achieved, enabling three-dimensional control of personnel, machinery, materials, labor, and methods, avoiding resource waste.
After 6 months of project implementation, a domestic precision casting company achieved a comprehensive improvement in operational transparency and efficiency. With the help of the GROW with SAP solution package, enterprises can track orders in real-time, optimize inventory, and plan production accurately, making the data flow of each link seamlessly connected. Their management personnel stated that the GROW with SAP solution package has helped the company achieve cost reduction and efficiency improvement, and created greater value for the enterprise and customers.
From the actual needs of the casting and other mechanical manufacturing industries, the GROW with SAP solution package ensures that different enterprises can quickly adopt the ERP digital core through a series of SAP cloud product solutions, accelerated adoption services, community support, and learning resources, and easily access the industry’s best practices accumulated by SAP for more than 50 years, helping mechanical manufacturing enterprises achieve digital transformation in fierce market competition. The GROW with SAP solution package’s SAP cloud product solution comes with efficient deployment and intelligent analysis, providing a powerful operational pillar for enterprises to achieve comprehensive improvements in production management, cost control, global expansion, and synergies. The successful case of a domestic precision casting company proves the unique value of the GROW with SAP solution package for the casting and even the entire machining industry, fully demonstrating its potential in improving operational efficiency and achieving business growth.
For any mechanical manufacturing enterprise wishing to succeed in the modern business environment, the GROW with SAP solution package is undoubtedly a powerful choice for achieving sustainable growth and global competitiveness.
