Project overview
An agribusiness group needed tighter control over lubricants, workshop consumables, and field-issued materials. These items were individually low value, but together they created substantial variance and operational friction.
Challenges
- Small consumables generated high cumulative variance
- Consumption against cost centers was too manual
- Field and workshop stock views were not synchronized
SAP EWM solution design
Qventra designed a practical SAP EWM model with RF issue flows, storage-bin discipline, cycle counting, and ERP postings aligned to actual consumption points. The emphasis was simplicity and traceability rather than over-engineering.
Key outcomes
A realistic improvement pattern would be 35% to 60% less unexplained variance, significantly lower search time, and more dependable replenishment decisions. This direction matches published SAP EWM maintenance logistics use cases and Qventra’s own agriculture spare-parts theme.
Next steps
The next phase would add min-max replenishment and mobile approval for exceptional issues.
