The last mile of your supply chain is inside your factory

Supply chain leaders invest in IBP, EWM, and S/4HANA to build end-to-end visibility. Then they discover the blindspot: the production floor. What actually happened on the line, when, at what yield, with what quality — this data arrives late, estimated, or not at all. SAP Digital Manufacturing closes that blindspot, making the plant a real-time contributor to the supply chain rather than a black box in the middle of it. This session, led by delaware's solution lead for digital manufacturing, walks through two real integration stories showing what it takes to connect DM to the full SAP suite, what the supply chain gains when that connection is live, and what the implementation journey actually looks like from the partner side.

Vitens | Why System Implementations Fail - And How to Prevent It

System implementations rarely fail because of technology. They fail because processes, requirements, and organisational maturity are not in place. Our implementation of SSAM and FSM at Vitens illustrates this clearly: unclear processes, vague requirements, or a lack of ownership will undermine any implementation, even when the technology itself is strong. But when these foundations are solid, delivery accelerates, rework decreases, and value is realised from day one. In this session, we will share key do’s and don’ts, supported by real business cases.
