Gujarat Reclaim and Rubber Products Ltd while implementing ISO 14001 and

adopting eco- friendly practices realized the need to form linkages with the

suppliers and customers across the globe.GRRP wanted to have efficient business

processes that would earn for it the reputation of a company that is easy to do

business with. GRRP decided to deploy SAP to streamline its business processes

and have a singular view of its businesses.

GRRP has implemented FICO (Finance and Control), PP (Production and

Planning), QC (Quality Control), MM (Materials Management), and S&D (Sales and

Distribution) modules of SAP. The implementation was divided into five phases:

preparation, blueprint, realization, final prepration and go-live. One of the

main challenges that GRRP faced was in training their employees from diverse

social and professional backgrounds, and getting them to work together. To

counter this, GRRP worked closely with its implementation partner Patni to

define a change management roadmap. Patni involved all the users right from the

blueprint stage of the implementation cycle and conducted extensive training

sessions for users who were not comfortable with English, as good command over

the language is a pre-requisite in using the SAP system.

GRRP claims, post implementation, they are able to adhere to delivery dates

for products as well as control parameters like freight costs, packing costs and

costs due to material rejections. Also this has allowed GRRP to offer flexible

pricing which it was not able to offer in the previous system. GRRP is planning

to implement Plant maintenance module and Business Intelligence



module in future.
