GHCL-SAP Implementation

GHCL has business in various industrial verticals across the globe. Once they

began expanding their business into industrial chemicals, home textiles, retail

and BPO, a need was felt for an ERP solution to automate all operational

processes. Within six months, they implemented SAP ECC 6.0. This enabled them to

monitor, plan and schedule each stage of production, and implement a homogeneous

platform across all business verticals. The application covers all important

business processes like sales and distribution, materials management, production

planning, quality management, finance and costing. Previously, it was hard to

keep track of the work in progress against sales orders, at various production

stages like weaving, processing, cut and sew, packaging and shipment. This has

now been effectively resolved. GHCL used IBM servers with AIX Unix OS for

production, testing and development. Their corporate office is connected to the

registered office through a 1 Mbps optical fiber WLAN. Various other locations

across India are also connected to each other using same LAN. The main benefit

of this project is that decision makers are now able to track the work in

progress and take much better decisions regarding sales orders, etc. The

implementation provides support to decision makers across all levels.
