SAPPHIRE 08 OR3349 Slide 18 Measuring Success… The following business metrics will be used to measure the success of the Launch and the Ramp up • Dealer Fill rate (Overall, Top500, Top10K) • Backorder Lines • IVO-Lines • Turnrate • Referrals (OOS, Non-Stock) • Forecast Error (AMAPE, AMPE and AMAPE Ratio) The following SAP related metrics will also be used to monitor the stability of the system: • Blocked, open or other vendor releases in error • Open stock transport orders SAPPHIRE 08 OR3349 Slide 19 Go Live Experiences… Governance
Start with strong and vocal business ownership/leadership • Sets clear business vision and expectations • Makes quick scoping decisions and help define the “what” so the teams can determine the “how” Establish a Program Management Office (PMO) • Sets governance structure and project execution standards/tools • Manages across projects with global mindset • Manages changes to program scope, funding, schedule (CAB) Implement disciplined project management • Develops project charter (timing, scope & funding), and manages execution • Employs a rigorous use of project methodology (standards, gate reviews) • Performs regular risk reviews and establishes clear go/no go criteria SAPPHIRE 08 OR3349 Slide 20 Go Live Experiences…
Implementation Strategy Start small in scope – learn by starting small and ramping up • Limit master data, business process scope, geographic scope and users/sites • Limit impact on suppliers and customers Prove out SAP “Plumbing” • Initial launch should test core functionality for all components with small business scope Limit Custom code • Priority should be on understanding how the product really works; run it as designed/delivered and then determine what is truly missing • Don’t modify standard code • Limit Forms, Reports, and Enhancements • Use delivered BADI’s SAPPHIRE 08 OR3349 Slide 21 Go Live Experiences… Organizational Change Management
Get an early start with change management, specifically change impact assessments, and then build on it as the scope of implementations increase Expect change to existing business processes • Be willing to change your practices, not the product Business Process Integration • Agree to common process across regions • Establish governance structure to manage commonality during implementation and post go-live operations Establish a support organization (CoE) early in the project lifecycle • Build a new hybrid organization that requires a blend of IT and business skills to operate the business and manage change SAPPHIRE 08 OR3349 Slide 22 Go Live Experiences…
Teamwork Establish a strong alliance with your system integrator and ensure close contact with SAP. Involve both from the start: • Selection should be based on expertise provided by both partnerships • Expect senior technical assistance, especially in new engines and functionality • Use implementation best practices but be aware that these needs to be tailored for the new product Expect a high level of team work to be required, even more than the typical SAP implementation • Because the product is new, a high degree of collaboration is required to understand issues and develop solutions SAPPHIRE 08 OR3349 Slide 23 Go Live Experiences… Technology
Actively involve the legacy system support group, include a legacy system viewpoint in determining the scope of the SAP footprint, including master data flows, data cleansing/consistency and exception handling • Integration is key in non-big bang implementations • Implement “gatekeeper” process to manage legacy data integration/sequencing to ensure data integrity Start in the beginning of the project with a rigorous data management strategy, particularly in the create and maintain processes for Parts Setup and Supercession Create a complete test environment that ties SAP to all relevant legacy systems for testing early in Realization Plan time for performance and scalability testing and tuning • Establish a small dedicated team build a performance test strategy and plan SAPPHIRE 08 OR3349 Slide 24 Go Live Experiences… Complexity Establish a technical environment cycle plan early with reasonable durations given the new product and the expertise provided by the integrator • • • System setup activities Service packs Upgrades
Build expertise in system setup activities • • Develop “cookbook” approach to building out environments Master data distribution can be more complex than originally thought Keep your system landscape in synch • • • Multiple components are integrated together, each of which has to work for the solution to work Take the necessary time to make sure the processes for OSS note application and transport/correction are well understood and followed A little extra time spent up front to verify that notes, predecessor notes, configuration and FRICE have moved completely from system to system will ultimately save a lot of time during later phases of the project SAPPHIRE 08 OR3349 Slide 25
