What is characteristic-based Planning (Segmentation)?

Within SAP ECC, materials with different characteristics could only be planned separately by creating multiple material numbers. Within S/4HANA, using characteristic-based segmentation, pharma companies can execute supply chain processes on a lower level of granularity than the material number to define the optimal matching logic between demand and supply.

The Benefits:

• Significantly reduce issues such as overstocking, out of stock, customer returns etc.
• Segment customer demand based on attributes such as regulatory requirements or priority
• Streamline materials and master data maintenance
• Minimize production planning complexity
• Automate compliance check with market requirements including the regulatory ones throughout the supply chain execution.

How HCL makes it possible:

Extending the standard S/4HANA Segmentation capabilities, HCL has created an integrated supply chain process where demand and supply attributes are flawlessly and automatically matching at all levels of the supply chain: execution (batch determination at issue, quality inspection, order entry,…), planning (Forecast, MRP,…) etc. Material segmentation may be defined based on defined characteristics or criteria—physical (strength, active ingredient, etc.) or logical (location, production line, vendor, etc.).

What is Global Scrap Log on Blockchain?

In industries with rotable parts which travel across the supply chain to multiple operators across its usable lifetime, part authenticity (or the patency of a part) is critical information. Getting everyone within a supply chain on the same data platform to exchange the related data is ideal, but a long road. HCL took the approach of logging and inquiring about end-of-life for the unique part using Blockchain Technology. If a tracked part is to be scrapped you can use a simple API or the mobile app to create an entry into the global Blockchain ledger. This becomes visible to all the participants of the business process i.e. OEM, operator, service providers, and sub-contractors. Use a second API or the mobile app to check if the tracked part has ever been entered as scrapped.

The Benefits:

• Enhanced transparency for all participants of the supply chain business process
• Helps fight counterfeit parts
• Easy to adopt and implement

How HCL makes it possible:

• Global Scrap log iOS app
• SAP Blockchain Service on Cloud Foundry
• Standard Integration between SAP S/4Hana
• Standard Integration with SAP AIN (Asset Intelligence Network)
