ABOUT
EPACK is India’s fastest growing Original Design Manufacturers (ODM) based on volume growth. Further, they are the second largest ODM manufacturer in the Indian RAC manufacturing market, with a market share of 21% in terms of volume. Their customers include 4 of the top 6 RAC brands in the Indian market, who make up approximately 50% of the Indian RAC industry.

CHALLENGES
Being one of the largest in their segment, EPACK wanted to make a move towards industry 4.0 to continue enhancing their customer’s experience and maintaining the market share, while making their processes more efficient, quality-driven, data-driven and sustainable.
However, the previous technology landscape had huge gaps that needed to be filled to make a move towards the industry 4.0. Following are few of those gaps:

  • Unorganized plant/factory-wise financial records
  • Unorganized maintenance management
  • No innovations around automation, AI, ML
  • Unharmonized inventory management, etc.

SOLUTION
For moving to Industry 4.0, making a move from SAP ECC 6.0 to SAP S/4HANA was the first step that had to be taken.

Greenfield Implementation of SAP S/4HANA 2022  system was done with below additional functionalities to resolve the challenges that EPACK was facing and getting ready for true digital transformation

  • EWM implementation (Embedded)
  • Plant Maintenance
  • Redefined Security roles and authorizations
  • Quality Management with result recording feature
  • Inter and Intra company stock transfers
