DBC Abroad: How to Maximize the Full Potential of Your ERP System?
At the end of April, DBC traveled to Luxembourg to conduct an in-depth diagnostic at Panelux.
Specializing in bakery and frozen pastries, this family-owned business has over 100 years of history. SAP was implemented there more than 20 years ago.
Over the years, Panelux has undergone significant evolution, leading to adjustments in its processes and ways of operating. However, this transformation has also resulted in a certain drift away from the original expertise. Today, many Excel files are used alongside SAP, whose full potential remains underutilized. This situation can create limitations in terms of efficiency, operational consistency, and the reliability of data for decision-making.
Our mission was clear: assess the maturity of processes across all areas of the supply chain and production, and measure the usage of their SAP ERP in order to identify areas for improvement.
Two weeks of immersion and analysis:
During the first week, we dove into the heart of operations and the SAP S/4 ERP system (PP and MM modules) to understand in detail the system’s configuration, master data parameters, and processes related to purchasing and production planning, inventory management, and demand planning.
- The second week focused on identifying improvement opportunities related to processes, technology, and user training.
At the end of the diagnostic, we presented a three-year improvement roadmap, including 10 projects and 8 key initiatives (quick wins). The client now has a structured plan to implement solutions, adjust processes, ensure data reliability, and train their teams. With a clear resource plan, Panelux is now equipped to build an effective project team capable of driving tangible impact on operations.
Do you feel like your ERP system is not being used to its full potential? Are you relying on multiple external files like Panelux?
