DAW Sweden runs SAP EWM S/4HANA Embedded

Starting signal for a global SAP EWM rollout series by leading paint manufacturer DAW SE

DAW Sweden implements SAP EWM S/4HANA Embedded

The DAW SE is the largest private manufacturer of building paints and thermal insulation in Europe. Following the successful collaboration on the SAP EWM project at the headquarters in Ober-Ramstadt, DAW also decided to plan and implement the implementation in Sweden with LogiPlus.

Initial situation

DAW SE made the strategic decision to successively introduce SAP S/4HANA as the ERP system at all of the company’s locations. As part of a global rollout plan, it was determined which locations were to be transformed and when.

A decision also had to be made with regard to warehouse management software. In order to have a fully integrated system, SAP EWM S/4HANA Embedded was ultimately chosen. As the implementation partner, we supported DAW in the decision-making process. The first location of this SAP EWM rollout series was Sweden. The warehouse there is around 3,600 square meters in size and comprises almost 4,300 system storage locations.

Project data, solutions highlights

Challenges measures

Very short project duration

Due to the fixed schedule for the SAP S/4HANA implementation in Sweden, the go-live date for SAP EWM was also firmly scheduled. It was therefore imperative to adhere to the milestones.

Change management

In order to meet the fixed go-live date, a conscious decision was made to stay relatively close to the SAP standard. Even if this meant adapting established processes. In order to ensure the necessary acceptance on the part of the employees, they were actively involved in the change management process.

Embedded EWM Basic

As the basic version of Embedded EWM was introduced and not the advanced version, the full range of services could not be used. Solutions had to be found for non-existent functionalities such as picking planning (waves), cross-docking, shipping or receiving.

Goods issue process in one transaction

The entire outgoing goods process, from picking and packing to delivery, is carried out by a single employee and had to be mapped in a single transaction.

Flexibility in the picking sequence

The order picking sequence had to be very flexible. Due to the different container types and sizes specific to Sweden, it was necessary to map the order picking sequence dynamically. This requires additional degrees of freedom for the warehouse employees responsible.

Benefits for DAW Sweden

Effort optimisation through the joint implementation of SAP S/4HANA and SAP EWM
