Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. - Customer Case Study

Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. (DFL), a major Chinese automaker formed as a joint venture, faced the challenge of transforming its complex, state-owned enterprise roots to achieve ambitious growth goals. To improve efficiency, standardize processes, and meet a requirement to consolidate financial data within a five-day cycle, DFL partnered with vendor Capgemini on a massive transformation initiative that included a large-scale SAP implementation.

With Capgemini's assistance, the "Navigator Project" was implemented, encompassing finance policy standardization, organizational alignment, close cycle reduction, and a comprehensive SAP rollout. The solution established a unified business operations platform across 12 plants and eight departments. The results included a transformed corporate culture, standardized processes, achieved close cycle reduction goals, and the establishment of a consistent management information system. Capgemini helped DFL build a foundation for further enterprise transformation and optimization.
