Does Your Organization Have?

A Business Process Management Team focused on

Design, Optimization and Monitoring is described

The team can increase revenue, shorten business

processes, reduce expenses etc.

The team will should have a charter, staffing and funding

Tools have been acquired, implemented and the team is

knowledgeable in their use

A focus on the Information Technology Organization's

service levels and processes increases Customer-Sat

This presentation is also relevant for those individuals who come from

organizations where a BPM Team has not been established. Where

BPM has a lower priority; headcount and funding are constrained

and the focus is elsewhere.

[ Business Issue

Accounts receivable and customer account management processes

are consolidated into regional billing centers.

SAP Deductions Management Cockpit provides a more

comprehensive view of the customer‟s financial history

Information accumulated to provide a 360 degree view of the

customer/company business relationship

SAP FSCM (Financial Supply Chain Management) includes a

more streamlined handling of billing disputes and collections

Additional applications support the business process and must be

integrated

Legacy Route Management System to take orders, deliver

product and handle collections

Imaging system to scan and index invoices with signatures and

notations

System to track and document customer discounts and incentives

[ Deductions Management Application

The timely delivery of results from several SAP and non SAP

Applications needed to be orchestrated

Information was processed by multiple systems (BASIS, AS/Core

Vitria) on its way to the SAP BW and R/3 Systems

The normal 24 hour fulfillment cycle ran 24x7 with a preference for

off hours and weekend deliveries. Adding on the Sales Centers

daily close and it could be 72 hours before delivery and invoicing

information passed through multiple legacy systems to show up in

the financial system.

Some customers were immediate payment others net 30

Invoices could be scanned on site or mailed but the images

needed to be indexed and available to the Deductions

Management Clerk

SAP Deductions Management remained in only two of the A/R

centers past the original enterprise wide deployment date until issues

were addressed9

improving application availability

Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control (DMAIC)

Define: Set the context and objectives of your improvement

project

Measure: Determine the baseline performance and capability

of the process or system you‟re improving

Analyze: Use data and tools understand the cause-and-effect

relationships in your process or system

Improve: Develop the modifications that lead to a validated

improvement in your process or system

Control: Establish plans and procedures to ensure your

improvements are sustained

Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of a process and

subsequently business performance

Proven methodology

Six Sigma – Why?

A partner company had successfully exploited Six Sigma

and was willing to support its use within our company:

Six Sigma Green Belt Training was available to our staff

A Six Sigma Center of Excellence had been established

Projects were supported with tools and Six Sigma Black Belt

Advisors

Leverage existing tools, organizational competencies,

established departments and initiatives whenever possible.

ITIL and Solution Manager

ITIL is “what has to be done”

SAP Solution Manager is “how it is to be done”

ITIL processes supported by Solution Manager:

Service Delivery

Service Support

Application Management

Ref: SAP Solution Manager - ITIL Support, SAP Press Published

2005

We had a methodology and a set of defined best practices.

What we needed next was the right tool for the job.

Real Experience. Real Advantage.

[ Results of the BPM Pilot Project

The goal was to address all of the issues that kept the company from

deploying the SAP supported accounts receivable process to all

processing centers. Success was the deployment of the solution to

all shared services centers.

A Six Sigma DMAIC Project was initiated with a goal of “Information

on Glass” i.e. getting all of the Deductions Management Clerk‟s

information to the screen.

Solution Manager v3.2 was valuable but other tools and custom

development were used

Multiple dashboards were created to consolidate data from solution

manager and third party applications.

Lesson Learned:

BPM Added Value and Promoted Success

Cost and Effort to Implement was High!!!

[ Using Solution Manager BPM – Lessons Learned

46

Component Monitoring generates event notifications. Incident

management process begins before the first user calls

Regular reporting of Solution Manager information to the functional

user is only important

When the information is changing often

When the information is relevant and not accessible through the

Application‟s Analytics

When a longer running problem exists waiting for resolution e.g. dialogue

response time issues
