Procurement project management for
new product introduction
Efficiently plan and manage automotive and
industrial manufacturing sourcing activities
Product launches in industries characterized by highly engineered products, such as
automotive and industrial manufacturing, require careful planning – often across several
years and many stakeholders. The number of procurement planning and management
activities needed to support these launches and other schedule-critical events can be
in the hundreds. How can you manage and track these activities simultaneously?
Empowering procurement with powerful
project management capabilities
To deliver complex products involving subassem-
blies and components, many aspects of procure-
ment projects need to come together. For example,
there must be stakeholder alignment and invest-
ment planning alignment across the business, and
countless procurement milestones must be met.
The SAP Ariba Procurement Planning solution
supports these planning needs against a launch
schedule. Your sourcing and procurement profes-
sionals can use it to support launches of highly
engineered products and to plan and manage
new product innovation (NPI) or forward-sourcing
programs.
Gain faster time to market, greater
sourcing team efficiency, and better
visibility and control – before
manufacturing begins.
For example, the solution makes it easier to import
parts lists from many different product lifecycle
management (PLM) systems – allowing the lists to
be used as the basis for required sourcing projects
and timelines.* Sophisticated multilevel project
planning and management, tracking, and progress
reporting enable real-time visibility into overall prog-
ress and related commodities for smart volume
buys. The solution also helps drive alignment on
investments beyond material costs (for example,
tooling). As a result, you can gain faster time to mar-
ket, greater sourcing team efficiency, and better visi-
bility and control – all before manufacturing begins.
*Integration is initially available only to the SAP Ariba Direct Materials Sourcing
solution for Automotive and Industrial Manufacturing in SAP S/4HANA.

Realize the benefits
Now, you can drive repeatable,
scalable procurement planning and
management activities to support
the launch of highly engineered
products while:
• Accelerating time to market by
enabling the procurement of key
supply to stay on schedule
before manufacturing begins
• Boosting procurement efficiency
and alignment across complex
product launches involving
hundreds of sourcing events
• Helping ensure each component
in a bill of materials is sourced
on time
• Improving alignment across
procurement, finance, and other
stakeholders on total project costs
• Increasing sourcing team
efficiency
• Reaping the benefits of a
simplified IT infrastructure that
runs in the cloud
Transforming how information flows and decisions
are made
SAP Ariba Procurement Planning supports:
• The creation of robust sourcing and procurement projects
using either reusable project templates or new templates
that you define
• The import of parts lists from many different PLM systems
into a multilevel procurement project structure that facili-
tates the assignment of project and subproject ownership
• Financial planning and approval workflows across stake-
holders for procurement project management regarding
investment planning, including investment calculations at
multiple levels of the project (such as aggregated costs and
regional costs) and consideration of the total cost of supply
(including materials and other costs such as tooling)
• Robust sourcing and procurement project management
capabilities for complex, highly engineered products and
extensive project teams across your launch program,
including milestones, tasks, and scheduling at multiple
levels of a project (for example, a global project such as a
new line of automobiles), a commodity-specific subproject,
a subassembly subproject (such as hydraulics or chassis),
and more
• Multilevel planning and automated backward scheduling
of key milestones before product launch, including depen-
dencies and their impact on the overall project schedule
• Aggregation of demand across multiple projects, products,
and product lines, which improves the negotiation posi-
tion of your procurement team and facilitates lower-cost
volume buys
Simplify procurement project management
for complex product launches and programs.
