Case Study

Patni helps a Large Consumer Products Company improve supply chain efficacy

The Challenge

The Solution

The Benefits

Increased automation of supply chain processes helps client reduce delivery slippages and effectively meet customer demands

The Client

A Fortune 500 company engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of a wide range of grooming products.

The Challenge

The client faced increasing pressure from major customers to provide an EDI Dispatch Advice and EAN128 shipping unit labeling for all deliveries. The client expected to improve the efficacy of their supply chain by introducing electronic pre-notification of incoming shipments from shippers combined with markings on the shipment and streamline the shipment receiving process.

There was a strategic need to implement this system at the earliest as majority of the clients' competitors were already providing this service either directly or via third party logistics providers.
The major challenge was to harmonize the DP processes and ensure availability of homogenous data across organization under one platform.

The Solution

Patni analyzed the business requirements and designed the changes required in the warehouse interface system (responsible for posting picking / packing in the delivery).

Patni was responsible for:

	Development and implementation of the system in both phases (first phase localized to Spain and second phase focused on four warehouses in Europe) Studying the existing Warehouse Monitoring Application and discussing with the business users to identify the needs of the new system and processes.
	Lack of proper documentation on existing WM interfaces made customization of the new setup, designing the complex packing hierarchies and mapping the same in packing module in SAP more challenging designing the new requirements like integration of packing into the
	Delivery Document, generation of Labels at warehouse, automation of postage packing etc., and mapping the same on the proposed interface application.
	Interaction with the Third Party Logistics warehouse to ensure that the client received the packing information on the idoc and EAN128 Label printing on the pallet level
	Interaction with customers to understand their specifications and requirements for the dispatch advise file

The Benefits

	Reduce delivery schedule slippages and avoid resulting fines
	Improvement in business processes further improved the fill rate
	Automation of major processes led to a reduction in manual work and improved logistics management
