Leading Manufacturing Companies – UNO Minda Group
As a Group, UNO MINDA is undergoing a transformation and seeing rapid growth in the local and global market. The fast pace of business growth has compelled the company to draw up a five-year strategy in keeping abreast with new technologies and solutions.
New initiatives are driven by business KPIs (increasing revenue, decreasing cost, visibility into operations, HR efficiency improvement) and the company is leveraging new technologies to consider further expansions. Major focus is on building next generation analytical dashboards, Industry 4.0, mobility and all initiatives are driven through cloud services.
Manufacturing being its strongest arena (with 58 plants), it needed to scale up its SAP with higher demand of delivery speed from users. It upgraded the existing SAP ECC 6.0 to S/4 HANA in two phases. This is the first auto components company to adopt this. It gave access to mobile apps through FIORI applications, faster analytics and dashboards. All this was done to support the scale of 58 plants through a scalable system.
To integrate its supply chain, UNO MINDA integrated its new Supplier Portal with S/4 HANA providing real time information to suppliers. A huge data size of 5TB was migrated to the new system in a record time of 56 hours.
UNO Minda will set up a technology and innovation centre which will be a central engineering and R&D hub for the Rs 5,600 crore group.
