3 1. Cost Reduction Initiatives in Tough Economic Times Most of the discrete industrial manufacturing companies are asking themselves how they should prepare themselves for tough times; IT Strategy team is no exception to this. IT faces continuous organizational and economic demands to maintain cost efficiency and reduce expenses whenever possible. The top three reasons to reduce costs are: Recession leading to demand volatility for manufacturer s products and services Declining sales, financial and industry performance soliciting the need for resilience Budget reductions in all areas of federal, and private spending Cost reductions, however, are easier said than done and require an in depth analysis of the as-is state, systems and processes. IT cost reduction could often involve infrastructure consolidation, technology replacement, reducing software license and support requirements, revising purchasing policies, outsourcing, centralizing server workloads and storage, to name a few. We, at HCL, believe that cost can be reduced for clients in four broad areas: Reduce cost of running IT Improve IT operations Make IT leaner Help IT transform the business processes These initiatives and the correlation between them are often complex requiring both technical and industry knowledge. HCL combines years of business and IT experience when working with customers to inspect their Application Development and Management (ADM) landscape both from a micro and macro perspective and create a roadmap for cost reduction through value creation, and continuous improvements. 2. Value Creation enabled by IT and Managing Demand Volatility Decision-making Interviews and interactions with discrete manufacturing company executives has also shown us that there is need for Value Creation by Simplification of Business Processes, and building an 3
4 organizational IT ADM strategy that reduces risk and focuses on delivery excellence. Discrete manufacturing firms typically they would like to: Improve Cash Flow Improve Sales Analysis Implement a Leaner back office operations Streamlining business processes to focus on Customer Service and Delivery Excellence Build Value from mobility of project management WIP tracking and visibility HCL would like to address these business challenges in the following sections with our proposed solution approach that uses as a foundation, HCL s investments made in vertical domain specific manufacturing solutions; utilizing Structured Value Creation Methodology, which besides enabling cost reductions; additionally builds a framework for value creation over continuous business cycle. Improving Customer Satisfaction through Streamlined Automated Processes CRM (Customer relationship management) solutions are the key to increasing customer loyalty and driving profitability; which is possible by gathering customer data from multiple sources and systems, and providing a single view of the customer. However, managing customer data is only the beginning. Business Process Management systems automate and streamline the process centric layer which drive customer interactions and further address the gaps that older people centric systems could not bridge. Front-to-back Office Integration drives further value, creating a Continuous Cycle for Improvements, and Delivery Excellence While many applications require extensive investments for integration, HCL framework leverages customer s investment across disconnected back-end systems. Using best practices rules engines; and analytical stochastic engines the HTML-based forms enable one-click integration with legacy and core processing data sheets, and drive analytics. This will shorten cycle-time for processing real-time customer needs. Complex interactions shall be enabled by single, simpler, intuitive interfaces; reducing complexity and speeding customer fulfillment of requests. Improving Key Performance Indicators (KPI s) of Manufacturing by managing Demand Volatility and improving Delivery Excellence 4
5 In a sense and respond manufacturing function, operations team needs to respond rapidly to myriad uncertainties. Based on interactions with these teams, it has been determined that success depends on how fast and how effectively customer service processes can respond to the demand change. While the overall strategy for demand management and fulfillment decisions are enabled by current IT processes, agility of those processes and removing waste in those processes are needed to make the operations leaner. Value through Process Orchestration between Systems, Processes and People The process orchestration between systems, services, people and partners is the key to achieve operational objectives. Flawless execution of business processes enables manufacturing companies to react quickly to changing market conditions. Context for FraME (Framework for Manufacturing Execution) HCL s existing framework SynAps provides a holistic framework for improving the manufacturing operations efficiency and collaboration between engineering and manufacturing systems. However our survey on SynAps indicates that 86% of customers want to address Process Orchestration and 65% of the customers need Vertical specific out of the box templates and dashboards. Thereby HCL has invested in enhancing the framework as Frame.

6 Key Drivers This makes the design and implementation of the business processes quite unmanageable. Implementing process changes is cumbersome and often error prone. Variability and dependency in manufacturing ecosystem and processes Inadequate asset utilization and low visibility in shipment Lack of real time scheduling and inadequate asset utilization Inadequate material procurement and replenishment practices Lack of execution prioritization at shop floor Addressing the Challenge through FraME ; HCL s solution for Business Orchestration between Sense and Response Processes FraME solves these issues by building orchestration scripts using BPEL (Business Process Execution Language) standard. BPEL provides a standard way of orchestrating the process and helps in capturing the best practices as an executable script. This will help in reducing the effort required for any changes in any of the participating systems as well as applying the best practices to a new environment and thereby reducing the time to deploy. These scripts can be run using any system that supports BPEL scripts like MS BizTalk Server, Oracle BEPL Process Manager and IBM Web Sphere Business Integration Server Foundation. FraME acts as an enabler by providing process templates for vertical focused business processes as well as vertical focused standard analytics, reports and dashboards. FraME makes use of the manufacturing information and intelligence for providing the analytics, reports and dashboards thereby making sure that a widely accepted platform is used for easy integration and maintenance. Following diagram shows a scenario where FraME is addressing Engineering Change Management. 6

8 Vertical specific extensions, business process orchestrations, analytics and dashboards across any number of applications in engineering, shop floor and IT enterprise Value Creation from HCL Solution Global Visibility Dashboard, an executive level Operations KPI Analytical Dashboard What is Global Visibility Dashboard? Global Visibility Dashboard is a web based application that is capable of retrieving real time information both from the enterprise and plant floor. The information is presented in a rich and appealing manner so that right info is available to the right person to take the right decisions. Global Visibility Dashboard has information about the following: Plant Information Key Performance Indicators (KPI) and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) Metrics Profit & Loss Information Supply & Demand Information with analytics/ what-if scenarios Drivers for a Global Visibility Dashboard The financial health of an organization is without doubt a vital component of organizational performance. For globally spread organizations, integrating financial information from a large number of physical and electronic sources and plant operation information in real time is extremely challenging. Global Visibility Dashboard aims at presenting the Plant OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) and Profit and Loss data along with business flow data (related to sales order) in a single view. The main intention to build the dash board is to give a holistic view across the organization which helps CEO to take strategic decision to enhance the performance of the organization. It is a web enabled solution which can be accessed using any browser. The dashboard will have drill Features Central SAP xmii Instance Client would access the application using Web enabled browsers SAP ECC 6.0 or R/3 Clients/Users SAP NetWeaver Platform MS SQL Server DB 8
9 Global Visibility Dashboard allows user to view plant OEE, Profit and Loss Visibility and Supply and Demand (related to sales order) in a single view with web enabled capabilities. This helps in: Increased plant operational visibility with all KPIs on one display. Increased awareness of plant operations and profitability due to easy visibility of key performance indicators (KPI) in a single view Supports better decisions with raw data converted into actionable information Improved visibility by getting all the information in a single dashboard with drill down view capabilities Alerts option for variances and the target can be set at various levels. The Global Visibility dashboard Solution has a dashboard showing three different operational parameters on a single screen view to have more visibility and control of the present scenario. The dashboard will show plant OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) information, Profit and loss visibility and business flow information (related to sales order) in a single view with further drill down capabilities for detailed view. It also has the alerts and reporting capabilities. The target and actual can be compared and alerts can be sent in case of any variations. The data can be easily shown in report format using PDF, XLS or HTML to Plant Manager, CFO and CEO. Business Benefits Real-time operational and production KPIs helps in taking strategic decisions thereby enhancing productivity Web-Based Visualization with alerts capability for analytics purpose Platform-independent data access Connections to any real-time and historical data sources simultaneously Single site and Multi-site extendibility Universal web client Value creation Benefits of Global Visibility Dashboard The Global Visibility Dashboard provides a means by which the plant side information and enterprise side information is available as part of single application in a web based manner with additional support to drill down to fetch lower level details. This further helps executive decision makers to evaluate what-if options and weigh 9
10 the decision before competitors react to market changes. 3. Value Creation from HCL Solution to address Demand Visibility Lack of demand visibility has been identified as an important challenge for supply chain management. Customers today are demanding perfect orders, shipped and delivered on time to the minute, at a cost that barely leaves any margin for error -- or profit. People in the plant do not have visibility to real time demand information. Controlling production and inventories based on delayed or lagged demand information easily leads to inefficient capacity utilization, poor product availability, and high stock levels. The problem is all the more acute for discrete manufacturers as the cost for excess and obsolete inventory are both high and so is the cost of missing an order. 10
11 Addressing the challenge: Demand to operations visibility allows manufacturers to sense demand and make it visible to operations for a JIT response (near real time): A demand-driven, pull-based system bringing real-time visibility into discrete manufacturing environments Creates predictability by pacing the operations to align with customer orders in production Synchronizes demand data, rather than just integrating it, to enable adaptive manufacturing Provides a single forecast across the entire organization done at the true source of demand The Visible Demand Solution provides a dashboard showing the real time demand information collected from SAP. Demand information shown is by product category, line, region, store level. This gives a single truth of demand data to all stakeholders in the manufacturing department. Visible demand also allows integration of demand inputs from sources other than SAP. Demand information is displayed for each location, customer, product family and SKU for last 3 months and next month. The user is able to choose time zone within which he is be able see demand information. The further drill down provides demand information day wise for current month and next month. Further to this the user is able to see the sales order details which is be the lowest level of detail associated for the orders for a particular day. The dashboard also allows the plant manager to get information related to quantity to be produced, lead time of producing, existing inventory of end item, raw material required, existing Inventory of raw materials, name and ID of the work centers, time needed on the 11
12 work centers involved. Additionally the dashboard displays a set of KPIs important for the plant managers like Days Sales in Inventory, Book to Ship Days, On-Time Shipments to Customer Request Date, On-Time Shipments to Promise Date Aggregate, On-Time Shipments to Promise Date Trend, Promise to Request Date Variance, Material Lead Time Exceptions, and On Time Delivery. Visible Demand Qualitative Benefits Tailored to monitor demand in near real time (no time lapse of 24 hrs/ 48 hrs) Makes demand data visible to operations Very difficult for plant personnel to see demand data from ERPs Visible Demand gives a simple web based interface to plant personnel to view demand data Role based views for VP Operations, Plant Manager so that only right information is presented to the right person Easy integration and development on SAP enterprise portal ensuring faster deployment The more frequently a forecast is updated, the better it reflects current market conditions Visible Demand allows to revise the demand forecast as often as required to reflect fast changing market conditions Dashboard can be linked to plant scheduling system to do real time scheduling 4. Challenge: Accurate WIP Tracking and Reporting Our Approach Solution Work in Process Reporting Facts at a Glance: Material Expediting and Work in Process Reporting Solution: Tracks work in process by work center in real-time based on production, refurbishment and maintenance order events Lists and prioritizes work in process according to industry standard criteria Is optimized for rapid and responsiveness running Can be installed, configured and deployed in less than two weeks No separate hardware or software required Licensed and maintained by HCL Pre-amble 12
13 WIP information system lists production order, and plant maintenance information system lists maintenance and refurbishment order operations, together with information pertinent to work order priority. Not only do these reports take some time to run for a work center, it is not possible to assess where a batch of work order parts are on the shop floor in cases where they may be split between operations (partial yield or confirmation). Our Work in Process solution not only tracks each work order operation at any time, but is also designed to facilitate fast reporting of work in process prioritization including dynamic calculation of industry standard criteria such as critical days and critical ratio. Solution Work in Process Tracking Triggered by real-time work order events such as confirmations or changes, the work in process tracking solution calculates the yield quantity at each operation in the background, based on the following formula: Quantity resides at first operation after a fully confirmed operation for orders of quantity one (single-piece flow) Quantities reside at each subsequent operation after a partially confirmed operation based on the yield quantity minus any confirmed ones Work in process is assumed to have moved-through skipped confirmation operations once yield is recorded at a later operation. Results are stored in a custom database optimized for reporting by work-center. Solution Work in Process Reporting Work in process report picks up work in process at each work center or resource pool based on the work in process tracking table above, with additional selection criteria by project or sales order, production scheduler or part, plus options for filtering work in process by order operations the user is clocked onto, or assigned to. 5. Challenge: Cost Reduction by Optimizing Disparate Applications HCL Approach Solution is our own IP, named M-Prizm Some of the major challenges faced by discrete and industrial manufacturing companies are: Providing IT Asset support to globally distributed and 13
14 independent manufacturing units spread across various low cost countries having Plant specific business processes Ensuring IT Assets are mapped to the business processes complex manufacturing systems such as make-to-oder, Engineer-to-Order etc. Mergers and Acquisitions leading to a complex manufacturing IT environment with similar business process being supported by disparate IT applications. Managing Legacy and mainframe based Plant level IT applications which have no or very poor documentation and require regional language support specific to low cost manufacturing countries. Managing duplication and redundancy at shop floor, lack of which results in increased production time and production loss Data Driven Rationalization HCL ( offers ROI based application portfolio and Legacy IT optimization services to Manufacturing companies using M-Prizm tool by leveraging our strong manufacturing experience with v a r i o u s m a n u f a c t u r i n g customers. The M-Prizm provides a methodology and business process using a set of established and proven IT software tools. The table on the right side outlines the program.
