ACH Food Companies | Consumer Packaged Goods | 450 | $75M | United States | SAP | SAP ERP ECC 6.0 - Production Planning (PP) | Advanced Planning and Scheduling | 2010 | n/a | In 2010, ACH Food Companies implemented SAP ERP ECC 6.0 - Production Planning (PP) to establish core production planning capabilities within an Advanced Planning and Scheduling environment. The SAP ERP ECC 6.0 - Production Planning (PP) deployment was part of a broader ECC 6.0 footprint that aligned manufacturing scheduling with finance and distribution processes. Implementation scope included configuration and integration of ECC modules FI, CO, SD, PP, SCM, MM, and QM, with Production Planning configured for material requirements planning, production order processing, and capacity-oriented scheduling consistent with Advanced Planning and Scheduling workflows. The deployment emphasized master data consolidation for materials, customers, and vendors to support deterministic MRP runs and shop floor execution. SAP BW was implemented alongside ECC, leveraging BW Accelerator in-memory technology so operational and planning reports executed in 10 seconds or less, and a Sales Data Warehouse implemented with Cognos replaced 1,500 inconsistent ad hoc queries with standardized reporting. Data quality tooling was used for conversion of customer, vendor, and material records, an explicit outcome cited as a $3M savings for ACH Food Companies. Architecture teams included offshore staff augmentation in ABAP, Informatica, and .NET to support integrations and ETL workstreams. Governance and rollout were driven from an architectural roadmap developed with senior management, with application architecture leadership managing technical teams and cloud hosting for marketing websites while also leading intranet design and SharePoint rollout. Operational coverage focused on finance, sales, manufacturing, and supply chain functions, aligning SAP ERP ECC 6.0 - Production Planning (PP) with enterprise reporting and master data governance. | |

ACH Food Companies | Consumer Packaged Goods | 450 | $75M | United States | SAP | SAP ERP ECC 6.0 - Materials Management (MM) | Inventory Management | 2010 | n/a | In 2010, ACH Food Companies implemented SAP ERP ECC 6.0 - Materials Management (MM) to establish a standardized Inventory Management platform supporting procurement, materials planning, and warehouse transactions. The deployment was delivered as part of a broader SAP estate that included ECC 6.0 modules FI, CO, SD, PP, SCM, MM, and QM, together with SAP BW accelerated analytics. The SAP ERP ECC 6.0 - Materials Management (MM) implementation focused on core MM capabilities such as material master consolidation, purchase order processing, goods receipt and inventory valuation, and integration with planning processes. Master data conversion for customer, vendor, and material records was executed using data quality tools during the rollout, an effort explicitly documented as producing a $3M benefit linked to improved data quality and conversion accuracy. The architecture integrated SAP BW with BW Accelerator for in-memory reporting, delivering analytics performance where many BW reports ran in ten seconds or less. A Sales Data Warehouse built with Cognos was introduced to replace 1,500 inconsistent ad hoc queries with standardized reporting, and development and conversion pipelines were supported by ABAP, Informatica, and .NET teams using offshore staff augmentation. Governance and rollout were driven from the application architecture function based in Memphis, Tennessee, where an architectural roadmap was developed with senior management and applied across the SAP footprint. Operational coverage included finance, supply chain, sales reporting, and quality management processes, and governance emphasized master data controls and standardized reporting as the primary process changes supporting the Inventory Management implementation. | |
