| SAP | Legacy | SAP ERP ECC 6.0 | ERP Financial | ERP Financial Management | n/a | 2017 | 2017 |
In 2017 Lonza implemented SAP ERP ECC 6.0 to support core ERP Financial functions across its operations. The deployment centered on financial accounting and controlling capabilities delivered through SAP ERP ECC 6.0, with an explicit focus on month end, quarter end and year end closing activity.
The implementation encompassed SAP FICO transactional processes and CO-PA cost reporting and assessment cycles, including order settlements to ensure proper cost allocations. Routine accounting workflows were configured for journals, accruals, provisions, reclassifications and reconciliations, and SAP BW was used for reporting and data retrieval to support those processes.
Financial consolidation and group reporting were integrated into the operational landscape by uploading financial statements into HFM for group consolidation, with reconciliations performed in Smart View and KPI reports produced for country partners. Operational coverage included a Spanish factory, a sales office in Barcelona and a new laboratory in Israel, while the finance department was transitioned to Manchester thereby centralizing operational control and reporting cadence.
Governance workstreams included writing and standardizing procedures, stabilizing transactional processes and optimizing workflows to reach a higher level of operational efficiency. The program also included hands-on support for accounts payable and payments teams to align accounting practice and process optimization with the SAP ERP ECC 6.0 financial configuration.

| Workday | Legacy | Workday HCM | Core HR | HCM | n/a | 2018 | 2019 |
In 2018, Lonza implemented Workday HCM to centralize Core HR and standardize global human capital processes. The initiative was executed as a cloud based Workday HCM roll out that supported corporate projects tied to Corporate Finance and business unit HR operations across Lonza’s Specialty Ingredients area.
Workday HCM configuration focused on core HR and talent management capabilities, including global grading and bonus schemes, standardized job profiles, clear career pathing and succession planning. The implementation established an Organizational Talent Review process and a structured performance review workflow, and it incorporated talent acquisition and FTE and budget planning workflows to support personnel cost planning.
Operational coverage extended across multiple countries and business units, with active partnership between the central HR project team and local HR business partners to capture local requirements and ensure alignment with unit-level HR strategy. The program explicitly supported the full integration of two acquired businesses, applying the same grading, compensation and job architecture across onboarded employees.
Governance included change management leadership and the roll out of cloud based Workday HCM system processes, with the HR project lead driving design, implementation and execution of the new global workflows. The stated outcomes include successful integration of acquisitions, deployment of global talent and performance review processes, and institutionalization of succession and career pathing frameworks within Lonza.

| Emerson Automation Solutions | Legacy | Emerson Asset Management | Asset Performance Management | ERP Services and Operations | n/a | 2017 | 2017 |
In 2017, Lonza implemented Emerson Asset Management as part of a modernization of its DeltaV distributed control system, integrating Asset Performance Management capabilities into site operations. The deployment used AMS Device Manager within Emerson Asset Management to align with Lonza’s predictive maintenance objectives and to deliver faster device commissioning workflows.
AMS Device Manager was configured to support instrument lifecycle activities including automated commissioning, remote instrument setup, configuration validation, and documentation capture. These Asset Performance Management capabilities were used to standardize configuration accuracy and reduce manual touch points during instrument initialization.
The implementation was tightly integrated with Lonza’s DeltaV distributed control system, enabling technicians to commission 1,400 new field devices through the control and asset management combination. Operational scope centered on instrumentation and maintenance teams at the modernized site, improving handoffs between commissioning and operations functions.
Governance and rollout emphasized technician enablement and remote configuration processes, which produced an explicitly stated time and cost outcome. Lonza reported that AMS Device Manager saved approximately one hour per instrument during commissioning, and at an instrument technician cost of $70 per hour the total commissioning savings for 1,400 instruments was reported as $98,000, alongside improved configuration accuracy and more complete documentation.
