Case Study: Diehl Aviation achieves data-driven process transformation and faster cash-flow cycles with SAP Signavio

Engaging users in business transformation with data-driven analysis and decision-making

Diehl Aviation Laupheim GmbH, a leading aerospace supplier with 4,500 employees and around €1 billion in revenue, needed to modernize a highly customized, hard-to-maintain ERP environment across 19 sites. The company sought a new SAP S/4HANA-ready platform and a way to analyze and simplify complex processes while engaging employees to ensure sustainable transformation and operational flexibility.

Using SAP Signavio solutions and an accelerated “plug and gain” process discovery approach, Diehl gained data-driven, real-time insights, standard process templates, and clear dashboards to analyze and prototype improvements quickly. The initiative empowered users to participate in concrete requirement discovery, sped up process cycles (helping to maximize supplier discounts), and is projected to improve cash-flow process cycle times by 10–20%, while laying the groundwork for future transformations.
