Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

González Byass’s journey with SAP RDP

Rating: 9 out of 10

April 15, 2024

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Solves Data Integration and Risk Management Challenges

Rating: 9 out of 10

December 4, 2023

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

Resource Planning
Data Integration
Data Analytics
Supply Chain Management

Cons

Initial Setup
Initial Integration
Cost
Ease of Training

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Very effective tool for monitoring sustainability metrics & integrates very well with S/4HANA

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

October 14, 2023

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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

Pros

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

Cons

The pricing is very high as it is with most other SAP tools. Can't really think of much other than that

Likelihood to Recommend

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
