Enterprise
Resource Planning
Case Study:
Cross-Application Business
Processes:
The fact that SAP's
transactions can be combined helps create broad and capable platforms for
conducting business. In this way, SAP allows companies to obtain greater
visibility into their sales, supply chain, and manufacturing trends, or to
allow new methods of entering or tracking such trends (to maximize revenue and
profit) by extending business processes in several different directions. A good
example again is order-to-cash, which is essentially a "back office"
accounting process. By combining multiple SAP applications, a company can create
a more capable extended version of this business process, something called a
cross-application process, mega process, or extended business process. Our
simple order-to-cash process can become much more powerful in this way. For example,
we might initiate our process through SAP's Enterprise Portal, which allows a broad
base of a company's users or even its partners and suppliers to access the
company's SAP system using a simple browser. Once in the system, the user might
"punch through" to SAP ERP to actually place an order. Through the
business logic enabled at the business process level, control might be passed
to the SAP CRM application to determine a particular customer's buying
preferences or history. CRM's business logic might then direct or influence the
business process in a particular way, perhaps to help the salesperson increase
the customer's order size or affect the order's gross margin. Next, SAP's
Supply Chain Management (SCM) system might be accessed to revise a supply chain
planning process for a set of potential orders, looking to optimize profitability
as the system seeks to balance the needs of many different customers with the
organization's access to materials, people, and other resources. SAP NetWeaver
Business Warehouse might next be queried to pull historical data related to the
customer's credit history, financial terms, and sales patterns within a
particular geography or during a particular season. After these details are analyzed,
the extended business process might turn control over to SAP's Crystal
Solutions to create company-internal reports. Simultaneously, SAP ERP or SAP
NetWeaver Portal might be used to drive and track the pick-list process, order
fulfillment and shipping process, and finally the accounts receivables
processes to conclude the overall business process.
1. Identify & Explain the
SAP application modules as per the case scenario. (10 Marks)
2. Describe how various
business processes are related to SAP to connect the dots. (10 Marks)
3. Case Study: Green Rabbit
Once upon a time, two friends
launched a candy wholesale business. Then, they ran into a problem: shipping
melt-prone chocolate bars during summer months. After the pals designed a
heat-sensitive supply chain, other food companies turned to them for help. The
duo rebranded as Green Rabbit, a supply chain logistics provider specializing
in fast delivery of perishable goods. That shift in strategy tested the
company’s current processes, which relied on QuickBooks, Excel and email. Green
Rabbit’s multiple databases couldn’t communicate with one another, making
real-time data analysis impossible. The warehouse was often waiting on help
from the IT team, too. Green Rabbit chose NetSuite ERP, and the NetSuite
professional services team got the company up and running on the system in
three months. Green Rabbit now:
Helps customers ship candy,
snacks and more across the country in 24 hours from one of three different
warehouses, without inventory errors.

volume, if desired, without impact to its systems.

3. In early 1985,
Chesebrough-Pond’s Inc. began marketing the Aziza Polishing Pen in the Prince
Matchbelli line of cosmetic products. This item closely resembled a marking pen,
and it was used to apply nail polish quickly and neatly. The idea of “polish”
in a pen was not new, but the company had to solve the problem of how to get
correct polish flow. The solution resulted in part from the firm’s policy of free
time, whereby its technical research scientists could use Friday afternoons for
whatever research activity they wished, so long as it related to a C-P
business. One of the scientists, John D. Cunningham, saw another lab employee
with a large marking pen made by Pilot Pen Company, and he thought that if
Pilot could solve some of the flow problem, perhaps he could too. And he did –
through cooperation with Pilot, some solid creative thinking, and use of other
C-P technology. Free time was a controversial program, and this was the first
tangible output since its installation at C-P. The pen was an attractive metal
tube about the size of a cigar. The container color matched the polish color.
Two or three coatings were required. A metal ball mixed the contents when the
tube was shaken vigorously for 30 seconds, and the tube had to be stored on its
side. The product was marketed with other Prince Matchbelli items and had a
retail price of about $3.50. It received considerable publicity when it was
introduced, including a special section on the CBS morning news program. The
newsworthiness came primarily from the free time angle, but one newsperson
applied the product on all 10 fingers while another newsperson narrated how the
product was developed. The product sometimes smudged, and the pen tip
eventually lost its shape. But despite these problems, the ease of application
was thought to appeal to working women who don’t have time for lengthy manicures.
The market for this product category was $130 million annually, and the Prince
Matchbelli division wanted an 8 percent share of market in 1985. The firm did
not announce its entire product development procedure. Use the material as
discussed during NPD session to point out.
a. Which steps in the new
product development process would be critical for such a product? (5 Marks)
b. What type of testing you
would propose for the product? (5 Marks)
