In 2016 Suedstaerke engaged KEK Anwendungssysteme to draft specifications and begin implementing SAP Business One SCM, a Supply Chain Management application, with an explicit requirement that the solution run on the company s IBM Power i hardware platform which had been in use for over 25 years. Vendor longevity and the availability of SAP partners experienced in the food industry were principal selection criteria during the specification phase.
The implementation scope targeted core manufacturing and supply chain functions across both Schrobenhausen and S nching plants. SAP Business One SCM was configured to support Sales SD, Materials Management with Purchasing MM, Production PP-PI, Warehouse WM, Quality Management QM, Financial Accounting FI and Controlling CO, and included industry-specific capabilities such as silo mapping and batch tracking to align with potato starch production workflows.
Operationally the project emphasized minimized internal interfaces for core processes and explicit integration points to external systems, including EDI links to roughly 3,000 customers and connections to service providers for invoicing and shipping. Data migration to SAP Business One SCM was largely automated, but required substantial master data enrichment to populate additional fields introduced by the standard application, and missing master data was sourced and entered prior to go-live.
Governance and rollout followed a concentrated cutover strategy, supported by rigorous testing and an extended user training window that shifted the live start date to ensure operator readiness. The project team deliberately deferred the Maintenance and Repair PM module and Human Resources HR module to reduce change load on staff, and limited customizations to essential changes only, with KEK implementing those requests to avoid downstream release complications.
On July 1, 2017 the configured SAP modules were put into operation simultaneously in both plants, and the program was executed within the planned budget with high levels of employee engagement. Subsequent steps planned included rolling out maintenance functionality in 2018 and consolidating external EDI interfaces while retaining a small number of proprietary solutions for specialized member administration and potato billing.
