Driving Value through the Automotive Supply Chain

Globalization and new vehicle program introductions have created increasingly complex automotive supply chain challenges. Compound this with part number proliferation, low-cost country sourcing, increasing global trade compliance issues, higher SG&A costs born from the inefficiencies, not to mention Sarbanes-Oxley regulations, and we’ve contracted quite a headache.

But Capgemini, working together with SAP, has the remedy to not only control these problems but also to help companies realize value through standard procurement practices.

Changing Your Approach to SRM

Capgemini takes a full-view perspective of your procurement goals with our comprehensive approach to implementing mySAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM):

• We create a workstream broken into four main blocks: Strategic Sourcing, Contract and Supplier Management, Purchasing and Accounts Payable.
• Into each block of this continuous loop we feed procurement intelligence such as key performance indicators and spending analysis.
• This closed-loop process optimizes and ensures value-adding practices that will continue long after our consultants leave the scene.

We identify the improvement opportunities and areas of business value resulting from a mySAP SRM implementation. We use the assessment to create an Automotive Procurement Roadmap, prioritizing mySAP components. The map will facilitate a quick implementation, resulting in a swift realization of return on investment.

The Capgemini Difference

Capgemini, as certified SAP SRM partner, brings a depth and breadth of knowledge and experience in the SRM arena to the table, along with more than 500 dedicated sourcing and e-procurement practitioners. Our global presence, coupled with our deep automotive experience in the field, means we cover all the bases.
