Review on Celonis Schaeffler AG.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Celonis for our Inventory Management process. Our main problem, which triggered us to look into Inventory Management, was high inventory levels, as many manufacturing companies in the industry face. We identified that planning parameters in our plants are irregularly updated, often based on limited data and experience, which leads to excess stock. We built a Material Insights solution using Celonis, customized it to our process, and focused primarily on identifying materials where we can reduce safety parameters. We then received recommendations from Celonis on safety parameters based on statistical analysis. Ultimately, this contributes to reducing excess stock and increasing free cash flow and warehousing capacity. In addition to this, we also examine orders that can be canceled and released, conduct premium freight analysis to assess supplier behavior, and review claim costs.

Pros

  • Focus on generating value for the customer through Process Mining.
  • Being customer centric, listening needs of customers very well and taking quick actions.
  • Providing out of the box analyses that makes start easy.

Cons

  • We had to build a custom dashboard for tracking value realization, as the transformation center was minimal in scope. For a very value-focused company, this area can be improved, which would be incredibly beneficial.
  • The current licensing model sometimes limits the ambitious value goals, as we can't experiment with building analyses in different areas without a long-term license for that process.

Return on Investment

  • Significant Free Cash Flow Increase.
