Case Study: Yamaha Motors achieves greater process visibility and faster innovation with SAP Signavio

Driving growth and accelerating innovation through business transformation

Yamaha Motors, through its Yamaha Motor Corporation USA operations, faced rapid change from electric vehicles and digital technologies, along with limited process visibility and communication gaps between business and IT. As part of its Yamaha Next Phase digital transformation, the company needed a better way to document, improve, and share process flows beyond simple process mapping using SAP Signavio.

SAP Signavio helped Yamaha Motors implement SAP Signavio Process Manager, Value Accelerators, and Process Governance to compare as-is and to-be processes, identify variations, and streamline approvals. The result was organization-wide process visibility, better training and onboarding, smoother rollout of process changes, and improved collaboration between business leaders and IT, with expected gains of 25% added value to key processes and 15%–20% annual recurring benefits in cost savings and efficiency.
