| Typical Challenges | Traditional ERP | SAP S/4HANA Enhancements | Advantages |
|---|
- Lack of ability for accurately reporting project costs and procurement data increases the risk of uncontrolled divergence and waste.
| - Information related to the project’s finance and logistic is quite a few times inaccurate due to batch load process; thereby making drill down quite impossible.
| - Directing and providing accurate access to project financial and logistic information providing the ability to drill down into details related to project costs, progress and resource usage.
| Capital cost reduced by 2%–3% |
- Delays in project milestones and missing delivery of required gate deliverable occur; identifying the deviations very late.
| - Stage-gate-driven R&D projects along with scheduling the project management operations transparent and accurate view of the true project status.
| - Providing the access for project members for confirming the milestones and network activities simplified using SAP Fiori apps.
| Project cycle time reduced by 5%–20% |
- Project delayas aswell as low resource utilization due to no transparency into project resource demands and allocation.
| - In a single application outing together- Capacity planning, detailed project role planning, and project staffing.
| - Enabling real-time access to resource availability, skill sets, and organizational assignment occur during the project staffing process.
| Shutdown/turnaround (STO) cost reduced by 5%–15% |
- The Inability for planning the project costs and budgets efficiently as well as tracking the actual versus planned costs leads to budget overruns.
| - Work breakdown structure acts as a basis for hierarchical project accounting; actual project cost visibility by utilizing various applications.
| - Status of a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) element changes through SAP Fiori apps; actual project costs become more visible using one integrated application.
| Incidents reduced by 10% |
- Inability for reporting the project costs and procurement data accurately therefore increasing the risk of uncontrolled deviations and waste.
| - Project financial and logistic information is sometimes inaccurate because of batch load process; as drill down is impossible.
| - It provides direct and precise information about ther financial and logistic status of the projects which helps us to drill down into details such as costs of project, resource used, and progress.
