Driving cultural change and creating a process-oriented organization
ERP transformations can be complex and costly. For RENOLIT SE, the question of payback became a strategic priority. Using the accelerated process discovery service with SAP Signavio Process Transformation Suite, RENOLIT made a start with process mining in its ongoing transformation to SAP S/4HANA and identified significant potential improvements in its procure-to-pay process.
As in other companies, bridging the gap between business and IT represented a challenge. Managing this alignment is crucial, as it means connecting strategic targets with processes and how they run under SAP S/4HANA. With the SAP Signavio Value Accelerators package, RENOLIT discovered inefficiencies in the
procurement cycle and prioritized key value drivers, including spend reduction, labor productivity, compliance, working capital, and inventory costs.
RENOLIT locations now foster process validation and continuous improvement on a daily basis.
Using the accelerated process discovery service with SAP Signavio Process Transformation Suite, we established process transformation in weeks, not years. But it also takes a strong team and a clear focus. A common mindset within the organization is key to making ERP transformation successful
