Case Study: Yamaha Motors drives business transformation and process visibility with SAP Signavio solutions

How Yamaha Motor Corporation is using SAP Signavio solutions to enhance process visibility and empower decision-makers across the business

Yamaha Motors, through Yamaha Motor Corporation USA, faced rapid change from electric vehicles and digital technologies and needed better visibility into business processes to support its Yamaha Next Phase transformation. The company wanted to move beyond simple process documentation and use SAP Signavio solutions to identify improvement opportunities, compare process states, and align business and IT across the organization.

With SAP Signavio Process Manager, Value Accelerators, and Process Governance, SAP helped Yamaha Motors formalize organization-wide process documentation, streamline approvals, and improve communication of process changes. The result was better training and onboarding, smoother rollout of process improvements, and stronger collaboration across teams, with an expected 25% value added to key processes and anticipated annual recurring business benefits of 15%–20% in cost savings and efficiency.
