Case Study: Schaeffler Group achieves faster batch-level traceability and quality issue resolution with SAP

Schaeffler Transforming Product Traceability with Instant Batch-Level Visualization and Analysis

Schaeffler Group, a major supplier to the automotive and industrial sectors, needed better visibility across its global manufacturing and warehouse network to quickly trace product batches and isolate quality issues. In a just-in-time environment, even small supply chain problems could become costly, so Schaeffler turned to SAP Global Batch Traceability and related SAP warehouse capabilities to improve batch-level insight.

SAP implemented a solution that visually tracks the movement of each batch, and even individual handling units, across Schaeffler’s plants and warehouses. The result was a dramatic improvement in traceability, cutting problem identification from days to hours and saving more than 3 days when tracing batches to specific plants. SAP also helped Schaeffler go live in just 20 days of consultancy, with zero downtime and zero support tickets in the six months after launch.
