The main benefits of SAP Responsible Design and Production includes reducing industrial waste, ensuring timely delivery and decreasing the global carbon footprint and all of this is achieved through better packaging optimization which leads to product longevity and a better business model. Plus the reason I personally enjoyed using the SAP Responsible Design and Production app is for its versatile approaches, alerts, reminders and footprint tracking, giving an edge in EPR compliance.
  • Helps us redesign packaging for cost and waste savings.
  • Reduces industrial waste, ensures timely delivery and decreases global carbon footprint.
  • Helps us better optimize our packaging which leads to product longevity.
  • Overall it gives us an edge in EPR compliances due to its versatile approaches.
  • Issues with data transfer can occur, especially when updating tax data.
  • Limited functionality when used with non-Sap products.
We greatly benefited from it as it helped us redesign our packaging for cost and waste savings and gave us an edge in EPR compliance. Also it has alerts and reminders which made sure we had timely deliveries.

González Byass S.A. has been helping protect the natural world since 1835. With more than 2,000 hectares of vineyards in Spain, Mexico, and Chile, the company takes its stewardship of the environment very seriously. Its “5+5” commitment, now evolved to "People+Planet", recognizes that the González family have cared for the land while steering the company to the 21st century, so too must the next generations continue that mission. SAP Responsible Design and Production would help it design products sustainably and comply with evolving circular-economy regulations in the European Union and beyond in one centralized solution.
  • The ability to connect the solution smoothly with González Byass’s SAP ERP application and other SAP software so the company can reuse existing business context, data, and structures.
  • SAP Responsible Design and Production gives us visibility of supplier materials in terms of both packaging and the auxiliary materials it incorporates in its offerings. It can structure this information intuitively and link it with the volume of units it puts on the market for each product. By centralizing our EPR data in SAP Responsible Design and Production, González Byass can speedily access information across its countries of operation, helping it make environmental product declarations for each country quickly and accurately
  • Users appreciate the solution’s interface, which allows them to report on this data intuitively and speedily.
  • On the subject of our Business, we need to have Ecovidrio (Ecoembes) declaration included in RDP, as soon as possible. It is urgent for us.
  • The features feed for uploading information to the RDP should be more streamlined and user friendly
  • I would also improve the data quality part, it doesn't really make it clear where the problem might lie.
Scenarios where a company needs to have a lot of visibility and control over the materials it uses for manufacturing, companies that are generators of polluting materials and companies that need to manage different EPRs in different countries. It is perhaps less useful for smaller companies whose sector is not related or involved in waste management and who do not have much volume or presence abroad. These may be able to cope with a customised development that contains their costs.

SAP Responsible Design and Production is used primarily for Data Integration Challenges. It is used in our asset system to helps consolidate and manage data from disparate sources like CSV files and third-party systems. It provides the tools to bring this multi-sourced data together. On top of this we learn about our waste; henerating insights into waste generation rates and types across facilities to identify reduction opportunities for our assets. Finally it is also needed for our risk management.
  • Resource Planning
  • Data Integration
  • Data Analytics
  • Supply Chain Management
  • Initial Setup
  • Initial Integration
  • Cost
  • Ease of Training
It is well suited for our Customers who are particularly keen on reviewing the source of their Assets; Having the data integrated into one place so they can run analytics against it (to compare designs, vendors, locations etc.). This also allows them to run risk management reports which are a popular feature. It is less useful for our smaller customers where the number of assets does not warrant such tools and the time to integrate can be quite long.

One primary issues the product tackles is the need for businesses to decrease their environmental footprint. This encompasses aspects such as minimizing resource consumption, lowering emissions, and decreasing waste generation throughout the product lifecycle.
  • Resource Efficiency and Cost Reduction
  • Environmental Impact Reduction
  • Product Lifecycle Assessment
  • Stakeholder Engagement and Reputation Management
  • The user interface of SAP RDP can be overwhelming and complex for users, especially those who are not familiar with SAP systems.
  • SAP RDP could improve data

SAP Responsible Design and Production has saved us a lot of time and money by simplifying overall project management and helping us optimize our packaging to become more sustainable and environmentally friendly. And it has also helped us increase our productivity and better address all the compliances which again saved us a lot of time. Finally it integrates really well with other SAP products so it won't consume much time to configure if you're already using SAP products.
  • Helped us save time and money.
  • Optime our packaging and become more environmentally friendly.
  • Integrates really well with other SAP products and increases overall productivity and helps us follow all the compliances.
  • Needs further UI enhancements. As the UI seems slow sometimes and the UI design could be improved further.
  • Apart from the problem mentioned above, it really is a great product.
SAP Responsible Design and Production helps you better follow all the compliances and increases overall productivity and become more sustainable and environmentally friendly. So if you want save both time and money then you should start using SAP Responsible Design and Production.

As the governement enforcing strict regulations on reducing carbon footprint and asking for action on sustainability, we turn to technology and SAP Responsible Design and Production helping us achieving our sustainability goals. Our scope is to comply with ESG reporting to meet government regulations and this solution is a powerful tool to report performance on ESG.
  • ESG Performance Reporting
  • Helping us in embracing sustainable development goals
  • Helping us in tracking and reducing carbon footprint
  • Scope of improvement in terms of user friendliness
  • It is a costly product for mid size organisation
  • Customization
  • Multiple language support
It is best suited in below scenario:
1) ESG performance reporting for vendors
2) Achieving regulatory compliance and internal policies compliance
3) Tracking and reducing carbon footprints as per COP26
4) Helps business embracing sustainable business goals

It is less appropriate for mid size organisations because pricing is too high.

We use SAP Responsible Design and Production alongside our S/4HANA infrastructure to monitor and manage the sustainability of our operations and whether our metrics leave us open to any additional taxes or fines. We have SAP Responsible Design and Production elements integrated to each of our machines as well as packaging, logistics, etc. operations. It's a pretty handy addon to S/4HANA to make sure everything's going as it should
  • The real-time monitoring is very handy. Not only for sustainability but it also helps spot issues as most of the time increases in negative output are due to errors in production
  • It's very customizable with the ability to add custom benchmarks and limits to each metric to design them for our country's regulations.
  • It solves a very specific problem while being able to integrate well with our current systems. Without it, we'd have trouble finding another tool to monitor these metrics this well
  • The pricing is very high as it is with most other SAP tools. Can't really think of much other than that
We have certain limits of negative output we need to stay below during production to maintain a sustainable operation and avoid getting fines, and SAP Responsible Design and Production monitors these in real-time and lets us know when there are issues with these so we can check why that might be. It helps catch things like this before they become a problem

We haven't used much of it since it has been released recently. But yeah, its a good solution for designing products sustainably and building a regenerative business. We used it for product packaging data management and it worked very nicely. But I have only explored a few areas of usage since its relatively new and we were just testing it out for the project.
  • Product Data Management
  • Product Packaging Data Management
  • Analyzing the impact of global regulations on the product
  • Pricing
  • Training on how to use
  • Since I have explored only a few options as of now, I don't feel any major issues with it.
I have used it only for some time, I haven't explored all of its features and functionalities. But I can say that for Product Packaging Data Management, SAP Responsible Design and Production is very well suited. You can also monitor the impact of global regulations of your product.
I have currently no idea of any scenario where SAP Responsible Design and Production will not be well suited.
