Implementing SAP S4HANA by adopting baseline best practices to build solution with minor customizations in the poultry industry involves managing the entire supply chain and logistic from purchasing of raw materials, vaccines and medicines etc. production of different feeds based on requirement of broilers and breeders, procuring or producing eggs from breeders, producing chicks from egg, growing chicks to chicken and slaughtering of chicken to produce poultry products to consumers. Using SAP S4HANA, this can be effectively managed through various integrated modules namely MM, FI, CO, PP, QM, SD, PS and SAC. Here’s a comprehensive approach to achieving a proper solution in poultry using SAP S4HANA capabilities. The SAP baseline best practices approach ensures processes required to deploy by scope items and can be implemented which cover the entire poultry supply chain with financial. Below holistic view in Verticals of Poultry industry will give us crisp understanding.
Verticals of Poultry are:
Feed Mill:
with SAP Material Management (MM) to procure and maintaining inventory of corn, soya, vitamins, minerals, produced finished feeds. SAP production planning (PP) for formulations as recipes, consume raw materials and produce feeds with batch. SAP Quality Management module (QM) to record inspection results for procured and in process inspections for Feed. SAP Sales and distribution (SD) to sell Feeds to out growers, customers and Finance (FI) and Controlling (CO) for cost and profitability.
Rearing and Breeding (Parent birds):
with SAP Material Management (MM) to procure parent birds and maintaining inventory of feeds, medicines, vitamins, minerals, disinfectants, produced hatchable eggs, SAP production planning (PP) for rearing birds & laying birds with recording of culls and mortality. consume feed, medicines, vitamins, minerals and producing hatchable eggs with batch, SAP Quality Management module (QM) to record inspection results for procured and in process inspections for rearing and growing. SAP Sales and distribution (SD) to sell hatchable eggs and manure to customers and Finance (FI) and Controlling (CO) for cost and profitability.
Hatchery:
with SAP Material Management (MM) to procure hatchable eggs and maintaining inventory of vaccines, medicines, vitamins, minerals, disinfectants, produced chicks (DOC), SAP production planning (PP) for sorting, setting, hatching with recording of culls and mortality. consume vaccines, medicines and producing Chicks (DOC) with batch, SAP Quality Management module (QM) to record inspection results for procured and in process inspections for Hatching. SAP Sales and distribution (SD) to sell DOC and Unhatched eggs to customers and Finance (FI) and Controlling (CO) for cost and profitability.
Broiler:
with SAP Material Management (MM) to procure chicks (DOC) and maintaining inventory of vaccines, medicines, vitamins, minerals, disinfectants, produced broilers (live bird), SAP production planning (PP) for growing birds with recording of culls and mortality. consume vaccines, medicines and producing broilers (live bird) with batch, SAP Quality Management module (QM) to record inspection results for procured and in process inspections for broilers. SAP Sales and distribution (SD) to sell broilers (live bird) and manure to customers and Finance (FI) and Controlling (CO) for cost and profitability.
Processing and Packaging Plant (PPL):
with SAP Material Management (MM) to procure broilers (live bird) and maintaining inventory of spices, packing, disinfectants, produced products, SAP production planning (PP) for slaughtering, grading, cutting, deboning etc and consume spices, packing and producing finished products with batch, SAP Quality Management module (QM) to record inspection results for procured and in process inspections for poultry products. SAP Sales and distribution (SD) to sell poultry products to customers and Finance (FI) and Controlling (CO) for cost and profitability. Manage stock transfers from Processing plant to DCs with SAP Material Management (MM) and SAP Sales and distribution (SD).
Distribution centers to Sales outlets or retail outlets:
Van sales, wholesale, Retail customer outlets with SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) to Manage sales orders and distribution sell poultry products to customers and Finance (FI) and Controlling (CO) for cost and profitability.
Implementation Steps
Assessment and Planning: Conduct a thorough assessment of current organisation structure and define the scope items to be used.
System Design: Design the SAP solution architecture with baseline best practices and customize to the specific needs of the poultry supply chain.
Customization and Configuration: Customize SAP modules to fit the unique requirements of the poultry industry with catch weight management, PPDS, aATP, Segmentation etc.
Integration: Integrate SAP with existing systems, IoT devices, and third-party applications.
Data Migration: Migrate existing data into the SAP system, ensuring data integrity and completeness with LTMC.
Training and Change Management: Provide training to users and manage the transition to the new system with enable now.
Go-Live and Continuous Improvement: Launch the system and continuously monitor and improve processes based on feedback and data insights.
Benefits
Revenue on investment: Investing on SAP S4HANA private cloud will turn your investment cost to Operating Cost where no need to invest on hardware and baseline best practices provides more functionalities with less maintenance cost rather Investing in multiple software systems
Single source of truth: Streamlined operations with respect to processes can be run in S4HANA without multiple systems (third party).
Better Decision-Making: Data-driven insights can be made available from single source for strategic planning and operational improvements.
Mobile Applications: Deploy SAP Fiori apps for mobile, tablet, PC to access critical data and operations to manage on-the-go.
