Kaken Pharmaceutical Co. | Life Sciences | 1164 | $572M | Japan | SAP | SAP ERP ECC 6.0 | ERP Financial | 2012 |
In 2012, Kaken Pharmaceutical Co. implemented SAP ERP ECC 6.0 in the ERP Financial category through the KAIS project to establish an integrated management operation base and to respond to external changes such as IFRS and strengthened internal control. The initiative was driven by the need to unify payment and receipt operations and order processing while reducing dependency on individual system knowledge after operating host systems for over 30 years.
The SAP ERP ECC 6.0 deployment covered general accounting FI, management accounting CO, inventory and purchasing management MM, and sales management SD, with a clear execution policy to maximize standard SAP functions and pursue company-wide standardization and cost reduction. The implementation used B-EN-Gs pharmaceutical industry template B-EN-Gp to limit add-on development, and the organization reviewed and rebuilt output forms from scratch while routing nonessential internal reporting to a data warehouse for owner-issued analytics.
Integrations and operational coverage included linkage between SAP ERP ECC 6.0 and a data warehouse for reporting, and integration with workflow to strengthen internal control, with smoother data exchange to JD-NET reported after go-live. Operational consolidation was executed by centralizing order-receiving operations from eight nationwide branches to the head office, and by centralizing cash management and accounts receivable at the head office to enable real-time financial visibility.
Project governance emphasized a short implementation timeline, package adoption, and preparation for in-house maintenance, with B-EN-G serving as the implementation partner and planned phased handover of SAP operations to internal IT. The cutover occurred as scheduled in April 2012 to align with the fiscal year start, and add-ons to B-EN-Gp were intentionally limited to control cost and schedule while the company retained responsibility for developing and operating peripheral systems.
Post-implementation effects explicitly reported include smoother JD-NET data exchange, improved business process efficiency and speed, consolidation of purchase order flows across pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, a shift from monthly to real-time accounts payable information, sales tabulation and analysis available at near next-day speed, and a 70 percent reduction in form volume after reviewing output forms.

Kaken Pharmaceutical Co. | Life Sciences | 1164 | $572M | Japan | SAP | SAP ERP ECC 6.0 - Materials Management (MM) | Inventory Management | 2012 |
In 2012 Kaken Pharmaceutical Co. implemented SAP ERP ECC 6.0 - Materials Management (MM) under the KAIS project, adopting the B-EN-Gp pharmaceutical industry template to address legal compliance and strengthen internal control. The SAP ERP ECC 6.0 - Materials Management (MM) deployment was scoped alongside general accounting FI, management accounting CO, and sales SD, positioning Inventory Management as the central application category for purchasing and inventory control across the company.
The implementation emphasized maximizing standard SAP functionality and minimizing custom development, with B-EN-Gp used as the baseline and only a small number of add-on functions introduced. Materials Management configurations included unified purchase order flows for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, centralized procurement processing, and reengineered output forms, while transactional data was routed to an information analysis data warehouse to separate operational ERP processes from downstream reporting.
Integrations were explicitly limited to the ERP ecosystem, with ERP linked to workflow engines to strengthen internal control and with data exchange established to JD-NET and the company DWH for analytics. Operational coverage consolidated order receiving from eight branches nationwide into the head office, and treasury and accounts receivable processes were centralized to enable near real-time visibility of financial information through the SAP solution.
Governance and rollout followed a policy of standardization, cost reduction, and preparation for in-house maintenance, with B-EN-G acting as system integrator and a planned handover of operations to Kaken over time. The project cut over as planned in April 2012 when the fiscal year switched, was completed on schedule and at low cost, and produced explicit operational outcomes including a 70% reduction in forms, accelerated sales reporting to near next day tabulation, and a shift from monthly to real-time accounts payable visibility.

Kaken Pharmaceutical Co. | Life Sciences | 1164 | $572M | Japan | SAP | SAP ERP ECC 6.0 - Sales and Distribution (SD) | Supply Chain Management | 2012 |
In 2012, Kaken Pharmaceutical Co. implemented SAP ERP ECC 6.0 Sales and Distribution (SD) as the Sales and Distribution component of a Supply Chain Management initiative under the KAIS project. The rollout was executed using package software and the pharmaceutical industry template B-EN-Gp from SI partner B-EN-G, with a planned cutover to align with the start of the fiscal year in April 2012.
The SAP ERP implementation covered general accounting FI, management accounting CO, inventory and purchasing management MM, and sales management SD, with a project policy to maximize the use of SAP functions and minimize custom add-ons. The B-EN-Gp template reduced development effort, forms were reviewed and redesigned resulting in a reported 70 percent reduction in form volume, and the ERP was linked to workflow to strengthen internal control while offloading reporting to a separate data warehouse for end user issuance.
Operational integration included data exchange with JD-NET and consolidation of order receiving operations from eight nationwide branches to the head office, centralizing cash management and accounts receivable so financial information became available in real time. Purchase order flows for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals were unified, accounts payable moved from monthly tabulation to real-time visibility, and sales reporting and tabulation shifted to next day processing.
Project governance emphasized user department cooperation and preparation for in-house maintenance, with B-EN-G handling initial implementation and a planned phased handover of SAP operations to Kaken. The implementation is described as completed on schedule and at low cost, and one year after go-live the company reported improved business efficiency and strong expectations for further utilization of accumulated ERP data.
