2 The Need for an Intelligent ERP System Supporting next practices in paper and packaging with intelligent ERP Radical change in the paper industry is occurring at a rapid pace. Changes in technologies, business models, standards, and the makeup of paper companies themselves require constant adaptation. Paper companies must be able to respond to rapidly changing conditions yet still comply with all standards. How does a digital core with a true single source of truth help? Paper companies must respond to rapid changes A digital core is an IT architecture that offers stability and long-term reliability for core enterprise processes, yet it also provides the flexibility to adapt quickly to new opportunities, challenges, and regulations. In today s environment, macro issues such as tariffs can have immediate impact on an industry and IT the backbone of modern business has to be agile to ensure compliance. Support for mergers or acquisitions is required to ensure swift adaption to changing markets. What-if scenarios, analytics, and predictive capabilities The ability to respond quickly is an essential part of managing a paper and packaging business. To do this, simulation, prediction, and analytical capabilities are important components. This can be the simulation of energy consumption, predicting sewage contamination in water, or the best production sequence in a shift. Generating additional value from data While production processes in paper do not change much, the speed of business is disruptive. Paper companies need the computing capability to carry out complex algorithms with large data sets to support timely, real-time analysis. The base data comes from sensors that enable precise digital twins of products and processes. In a paper mill, data sets will be available that can be used by machine learning to improve quality predictions. This provides more reliable information for all related processes and for customers. For example, a print shop can adapt its machine parameters to the exact profile of a paper roll to run at the maximum speed possible. Addressing innovative opportunities Paper companies have to offer new products and services to better meet individual needs and gain a competitive edge versus other industries. Collaboration and sharing of resources will be part of business to deliver on new customer experiences, products, and services. The intelligent ERP Bringing SAP S/4HANA and SAP Leonardo technologies together as a digital core will result in a more flexible and intelligent enterprise. To achieve next-generation business processes, paper and packaging companies need an intelligent ERP solution. For example, machine learning can help in daily business to ensure ordering the correct spare part by using image recognition to identify its correct version. Early adopters have already begun this journey to gain the competitive edge for a top seat in the next generation of paper and packaging businesses. Pregis 360-degree View of each customer account 15% 20% Expansion of the sales pipeline Now, we have a data repository that is a single source of truth and accessible to the whole organization.

3 Strategic Priorities in a Digital Economy The digital economy is disruptive. Paper and packaging companies need strategic priorities that drive transformation. SAP supports a reimagined set of end-to-end (E2E) business scenarios to support the strategic priorities of working in a digital environment. Achieving customer centricity Putting the customer s point of view at the center of every decision is a key prerequisite for success in the digital age. This goes way past the sales department because it encompasses what to produce and what services are offered. Having relevant information ready for a customer contributes to business success as well. E2E scenario: 360-degree customer order support Improve order fulfillment with real-time integrated multichannel insights Offering small lot sizes and individualization Quick order completion and delivery of tailor-made solutions create additional value for customers. Being able to execute the wish of a customer from order through manufacturing and delivery all while considering costs and margin is a key differentiator. E2E scenario: Manufacturing individualized products Address the need to fulfill a customer s unique product requirements Running smart factories and digital networks Transform your supply chain into a responsive network. Companies face volatile customer demand and heightened expectations of responsiveness. Innovative technologies can help meet these higher expectations by providing vital business information across the network. Real-time insights into operations such as asset status enable agile and intelligent responses to last-minute changes such as urgent customer requests or machine failures. E2E scenario: Managing the ecosystem Transform your traditional, linear manufacturing supply chain into a responsive network Supporting value-added services and new business models The digitalization and interconnection of products and services create additional value. An example is being able to drive new revenue opportunities by providing additional data on products shipped or advice on the best use of a complex product. There is also the opportunity for companies to look up, down, and across their value chains to expand into additional markets that evolve into managing ecosystems. E2E scenario: Turning data into customer value Convert data into valuable information to improve business processes Producing for purpose Paper companies want to address growing expectations from customers, investors, employees, and society. Offering a safe, attractive, and purposedriven business attracts talent, investors, and customers alike. Efficient production and logistics contribute to lower emissions and energy use increasingly important criteria for suppliers. Reuse of materials is the future as part of closed-loop material circulation. E2E scenario: Ensuring worker safety in real time on the spot Protect your employees as a key aspect of a sustainable business strategy 3/

4 360-Degree Customer Order Support Solutions for customer order processing from SAP help organizations streamline the order-to-cash cycle, including order fulfillment and aftersales service, with real-time data and fully integrated and automated workflows. Traditional scenario Disparate information and data silos are hindering the ability to have a clear picture of customers orders and order status. Achieving consistent product configuration in the area of mill products can require significant effort. Production, costing structures, price, and more need to be calculated based on product specification. Changes to customer orders will impact many different levels and departments, leading to lack of visibility. Order fulfillment and delivery are separate processes; product and tracking are difficult. In the case of claims, many departments need to be consulted to understand the situation and provide appropriate assistance to the customer. A new world with SAP Put the customer s success at the center of all activities: Single point of truth 360-degree view of past and current customer activities leads to better decisions Ability to react quickly to late order changes Possibility to track goods and delivery Instant service on claims Top value drivers: Customer requests unique product features, and machine learning could propose the correct product configuration. All dependent processes will adapt based on custom requirements. Change requests to orders can take effect immediately, and decisions can be communicated to the customer in timely manner. High level of integration across sales order processing allows for total visibility of cost drivers at all stages. Knowing transportation details helps to avoid delays and to find alternatives. Product status and origin can be tracked across all material levels. Transparency of customer history and activities helps make better decisions. Machine learning can automatically define the right reaction in the case of claims for a timely reaction. High customer satisfaction results from individually configured products delivered on time. Valueadded services such as answering Where is my order?, identifying the product s origin, or swift handling of claims can be provided easily. Improve customer satisfaction Reduce sales and service cost Increase revenue growth 4/

5 Manufacturing Individualized Products With SAP S/4HANA as their digital core, paper and packaging companies can provide their customers with individualized products faster and at a lower cost. Traditional scenario Product variants predefined by marketing and product management Variant product catalog with limited number of variants available Every variant existing independently as a product, resulting in inconsistency and errors in variant management downstream Unique design and engineering systems and bills of materials (BOMs) lead to high integration effort Unique manufacturing BOMs and routing for each predefined variant, requiring manual handling of BOMs, routings, and engineering changes Inefficient, expensive, and error-prone variant manufacturing A new world with SAP Customer requests unique product features and can be guided to the appropriate choices Top value drivers: Product and production capabilities managed with help from rules, analytics, and algorithms Machine learning technologies help guide and identify the right configuration Faster time to market Integrated design, engineering, manufacturing, and sourcing Lower R&D costs Integrated handling of production planning and execution for flexible and efficient operations High customer satisfaction with customized products delivered as quickly as standardized products Increase in revenue from new products 5/

6 Managing the Ecosystem Traditional scenario Disconnected departments and limited access to the business network prohibit responsive business: When plans are not consistently created and shared, information cannot flow quickly. R&D, sourcing, sales, manufacturing, and planning are not aligned wasting time and money. When companies rely on a few external partners and communicate manually, visibility is limited, collaboration is difficult, delays are inevitable, and the risk of error is high. Sales Finance Manufacturing Paper and packaging Asset management R&D Sourcing Supply chain planning A new world with SAP One plan that can be shared with all critical resources and partners to achieve visibility, agility, and responsiveness Collaborative product design with customers to accelerate time to market Insight into future demand for manufacturing and procurement, optimizing inventory Alignment of sales, manufacturing, and delivery, improving customer satisfaction Linear supply chains transform into digital supply networks through simultaneous collaboration of all relevant stakeholders Your company at the center Top value drivers: Faster time to market Collaborative platform Finance Sales Increased customer satisfaction Asset network Manufacturing Paper Asset management R&D Supply chain planning Sourcing SAP Integrated Business Planning SAP S/4HANA digital core Sales cloud Optimized inventory 6/

7 Turning Data into Customer Value Traditional scenario Detailed information exists at each stage of production but because it is disconnected, paper companies cannot leverage its full potential Variations in paper and packaging production schedules and outcomes No or limited communication of deviations to customers Different players for individual steps in the paper and packaging value chain Detailed product information collected in production Communication only for condensed product data Information that is siloed in isolated, local production or quality systems A new world with SAP Sales contract The digitalization and interconnection of products and services create additional value. Create a common data model a digital product twin for each physical piece and feed it with: Collected sensor data, camera data, and measurements Movements from their origins that you track and trace Take action based on the digital product twin: Plan, simulate, and predict the best schedule and operation Calibrate process parameters based on granular quality data Provide product details to the customer Top value drivers: Digital product twin Input to start Real world Gain competitive edge Updates Production process Quality data Material transformation Material movement Delivery Ready to ship In transit Delivered Lower operational costs Customer Expected outcome Product properties Date Production plan Constantly updated based on reported progress Increase in i revenue 7/

8 Ensure Worker Safety On the Spot in Real Time Traditional scenario SAP S/4HANA helps organizations keep employees safer and mitigate environment, health, and safety (EH&S) risks by providing the functionality to perform risk assessments, efficiently measure and report emissions, manage incidents, and communicate safe work practices to all employees. Health and safety administrators have limited insight into the root causes of incidents, their implications, and into organizationlevel compliance for EH&S. Out-of-the-box applications to analyze incident data Analytics disconnected from real-time incident data Multiple reports to monitor and analyze environmental compliance across the organization No easy way to identify risks for location or to define risks Incident reporting A new world with SAP Health and safety administrators are supported by advanced analytics, simplified EH&S processes, and dedicated applications, allowing them to act in the moment. Top value drivers: Sophisticated analytics to analyze incidents, near misses, and other safety information supported by spatial data Incident management Monitoring of environmental data records graphically for different compliance scenarios with applicable compliance limits Increased safety Environment management Ability to approve, replace, or invalidate the recorded values of environmental data records Less time and money loss Dedicated application to manage chemicals with all the relevant details Simplified process to identify risks and assign relevant safety measures for risk mitigation Health and safety management Proactive warnings to workers to avoid incidents using the Internet of Things technology SAP Connected Worker Safety solution Increased employee satisfaction and engagement 8/
