How Do Supply Chain Teams Turn Their Existing SAP into a Working Asset

If you purchase expensive equipment for your manufacturing plant, you’d expect to fully utilize it in your operations. For many organizations, SAP is one of their largest and most expensive assets, yet it is not held to this same utilization standard. Much has changed in the last 10 years regarding local and global supply chains. However, how SAP is used has not changed dramatically enough; we still need to turn this “tool” into an “asset.” And SAP should be an asset that helps to increase inventory turns, reduce the cost of operations, increase throughput, and improve service levels. These are all revenue enablers and profit generators.
