    Next milestone: Realization of a new limited-edition vehicle series

    Following the successful optimization of existing processes in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition based on customer-specific requirements, the next milestone was reached in the follow-up project: To produce a new, limited-edition vehicle series for the 25th anniversary, the corresponding supply chain and production processes had to be redesigned and implemented.

    Unlike previous single-unit manufacturing, the planned limited series production required a new process and production logic, which presented various challenges. Manthey also needed to take a holistic overview and map the entire design-to-operate process for the first time – from development through production and cross-site coordination to spare parts supply. Through a suitable production concept, the implementation of efficient processes based on SAP best practices, and the targeted application of our industry and process expertise, the series production was successfully completed on schedule.
