Case Study: Duas Rodas achieves 80% manufacturing productivity gains with IBM and SAP ERP

Duas Rodas achieves 80 percent manufacturing productivity gains

Duas Rodas, a Brazilian manufacturer of food and beverage additives, faced the challenge of expanding internationally to meet a $450 million sales target. Their existing manufacturing assets were at capacity, and decentralized, fragmented workflows made it impossible to meet the new demand or ensure consistent governance. To overcome this, they worked with IBM to implement a solution.

Duas Rodas deployed a comprehensive SAP ERP solution on an IBM Power Systems server platform with IBM DB2 database software. This integrated their business processes, breaking down information silos. The results were significant, including an 80% acceleration in production planning and a major boost in manufacturing throughput. This efficiency gain directly supported their goal of satisfying international demand and reaching their sales target.
