Case Study: Varian Medical Systems digitalizes product development and manufacturing with SAP digital supply chain solutions

Transforming the Business with Digital Supply Chain Solutions from SAP

Varian Medical Systems, a high-tech medical device manufacturer, faced significant challenges due to paper-based product design and manufacturing processes, which slowed time to market and hindered efficiency. To digitalize its operations end-to-end and improve regulatory compliance, the company partnered with vendor SAP.

SAP implemented a suite of its digital supply chain solutions, including SAP Product Lifecycle Management, SAP Manufacturing Execution, and SAP Environment, Health, and Safety Management. This empowered Varian Medical to replace manual, paper-based workflows with electronic ones, achieving a fully digital design and manufacturing process. The results included improved time to market, substantial cost savings, and the ability to instantly access compliance information, with a complete payoff achieved just by eliminating paper.
