planning system for central reporting

typically on weekly basis

No ad-hoc operational reporting

Reporting, queries, dashboards that

have to be created by each customer

Time-consuming data loads in

traditional reporting tools

Not possible to run sub-daily planning jobs and analyze the results because of the long data-preparation times

Inability to respond fast to ad hoc queries from customers, which may result in lost sales

Decision support based on near real-

time information

Information can be updated using

delta capabilities

Out-of-the-box analytical reporting

scenarios provided with streamlined

data load

Planned ability for customers to add

their own KPIs and dashboards

Manufacturing and asset visibility and performance Business value for asset planning and scheduling

Maintenance scheduling that

consumes a great deal of time

High amount of master data

influences performance of data

Manual and error-prone process for

preselection of maintenance plans

Potential for objects needed for

maintenance calls to be missing

High number of maintenance plans

that need to be scheduled frequently

leads to a weekly scheduling scheme

Instant analysis of top of transactions

Preselection of due plans, speeding

up the process significantly

Real-time analytics on all data,

including machine sensor information

Feasibility 3

Steel producer – fraud prevention Mill products

Business context and goals

The company has a set of processes to identify and prevent fraud. They proved to be ineffective,

however, due to disconnected processes and an inability to analyze available sources of

operational data.

Business challenges

Prevention of fraud needs fast reaction on known patterns of suspicious and fraudulent activity,

based of different sources of information. There is no capacity to connect data and make analysis

in real time to prevent losses proactively.

Process innovations

Integrate fraud monitoring processes, leverage historical data to identify fraud, and act in real

time (instead of reactively, when loss recovery is much more difficult).

Contribution of SAP HANA

Real-time automated analysis of big volumes of data from different sources.

Feasibility 3

Customer case: North American building materials company –

operational and ad hoc reporting Mill products

Business context and goals

The company has a set of processes to identify and prevent fraud. They proved to be ineffective, however,

due to disconnected processes and an inability to analyze available sources of operational data.

Business challenges

Sales: Sales force requires mobile access to customer data to make customer meetings more effective.

Previous reporting, based on monthly reports, required many manual steps to be performed each month.

Plant maintenance: Relies on reactive maintenance process based on data from SAP ERP, SAP

NetWeaver BW, and legacy software. Plant maintenance required standardized reporting across all plants

to reduce machine/line downtime and improve compliance ratio to improve productivity.

Process innovations

Flexible mobile sales reporting via iPad on-demand

Senior-level formatted customer reporting and detailed data drill-down functionalities for the sales force

Common key metrics in plant maintenance across all plants, from SAP and non-SAP data sources

Maintenance reporting on near real-time data in a visual format enabling easy monitoring of KPIs and

performance across the board

Contribution of SAP HANA Value drivers/KPIs

• 3x improved compression rate

• Zero latency customer reporting available anywhere

• Consolidation of real-time customer data vs. monthly

updates

• Root-cause analysis of maintenance issues

• Very intuitive visual format combines several

reporting requirements on one dashboard

• Higher customer satisfaction

• Better margins

• Increased machine/line uptime

• Improved compliance ratio

• Improved productivity

• 99% faster reporting

• 6,800x faster table segmentation

• Eight-week implementation

Customer case: North American metal company –

operational and ad hoc reporting Mill products

Business context and goals

Business spends too much time building spreadsheets instead of analyzing and making

important financial and operational decisions.

Business challenges

Wasted time, lack of confidence in data, and inability to respond to changes in data. Complex

Microsoft Excel worksheets with limited visualization functionalities.

Process innovations

Information at the fingertips of end-users (CEO, business analysts, and common users).

Demonstrate real-time data and instantaneous reporting and analysis. Allow users to create

own reports.

Extract and report on global controlling data in 30 seconds.

Gain instant value from new data model: years worth of margin analysis data calculated in 10

seconds; refresh annual sales data in 2 seconds

Entire project took only four weeks.

Contribution of SAP HANA

Manage and optimize transportation cost

Value potential 4

Feasibility 3

Business context and goals

SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM) on SAP HANA for railway transportation

Business challenges

Many difficulties on Russian Railways’ side, but definitely also a big improvement potential on the

customer’s side: no single system for transportation planning and execution; high transportation

costs (payments for external fleet, payments to railways); inability to plan exact dates (or short

range) for delivery to customer; long order-to-delivery cycle; inability to optimize production stock

(in port terminals, on the way to terminals and customer); inability to increase efficiency in

accounts receivable and payables.

Process innovations

Whole chain of transportation ‒ from long-term planning through operative planning, execution,

dispatching, and cost analysis ‒ integrated with system of Russian Railways and ERP

Contribution of SAP HANA

Ability to analyze large amounts of data stored in memory and make fast decisions

Value drivers/KPIs

Transportation costs:

– Decrease cost of external fleet for raw materials transportation: US$5 million

– Decrease penalties from fleet operators for cars standing idle: US$0.2 million

– Increase fleet turnover: US$0.2 million

– Decrease penalties for idle standing railcars on the railroad: US$0.03 million

Need to model the plant operations and profitability with real-time visibility

Business challenges

Very large and granular volume of data to be modeled in the production process and profitability

calculation

Process innovations

SAP HANA Platform will allow accurate, aggregated, and real-time visibility of plant production

and profitability.

Contribution of SAP HANA

SAP HANA will also allow what-if simulation in real time to allow the business to react to events

in real time (for example, machinery breakdown or late delivery of raw materials).
