Digital Transformation is Critical
What is Digitization?
Enablingquicker responses withobjective“deeper”capabilitiesand driving therightenterprise
decisions
• Automation– Removemanualprocesses tospeedup individual responses andchange the
typeof work
• Analytics– Go deeperand enabledata-baseddecisionmakingtoimprovethecapabilities
• TheNetwork–Connect the Dataflowand Decisionmakingtoconsider thebiggerpicture
Extending Centralized Planning Platform
Improvement in planning cycle time and responsiveness
Metric Metric
Supply Chain Response Daily (7x Improvement)
Human Intervention <15% - Exceptions only
Optimization / Trade-offs Global (End to End visibility)

Central Planning Benefits
Multiple Improvements with the enablement of Central Planning
Engine/Common MRP for drive factories
“Removing the ceiling” from
planning capabilities
Minimal effort in generating
weekly plan
Cross skill development in
managing multiple product
segments
Single harmonized process and
systems
Enable exception based planning
People System
Consolidated applications
(CP/MRP/PDH) to improve
planning scalability, speed and
supportability
Harmonized product data hub
(PDH) to house parts, BOMs,
planning and procurement
attributes
Sunset of multiple home grown
applications. (10+ 2)
Processes
Resolving Material and Capacity
Shortages in Parallel
Enable QUICK scenario
planning to evaluate multiple
capacity/demand etc. scenarios
Single plan for Components and
products
One common planning process
across all the legacies
Simplifying the systems landscape…

Key Takeaways
• The Benefitsof a Digitized Backbone are “Real” withAccelerated Benefits
• Harnessing the true power is only realized by enhancingthecapabilities with deeper
analytics applied across the supplychain
• The old “End to End” should only be viewed as a foundationfor our futurein Multi-
Enterprise Digitizationand Optimization
