SAP® ERP Success Story @ YASH
Leading Door Manufacturer
Optimizes Workflows with SAP ERP Solution
Industry The Client
Manufacturing Shakti Met-Dor Limited (SML) is the leading door manufacturer in India, with a
reputation for high- quality fire-resistant, laboratory, general application and sliding
doors. Since its inception in 1988, SML has produced over 300,000 distinctive steel
Geography doors and frames, with plans to expand its product and service offerings globally.

2. Technology Components Business Needs
SAP ECC 6.0 on Linux 5.1 SML was not prepared to meet the company’s rapid growth needs and it was affecting
with SD, PP, HCM, FICO, all areas of the business, leading to poor business performance. An increasing
MM, PM and QM modules customer base and product offering developed inefficiencies within their existing
system, and were not able to properly support employees or company objectives. The
daily business activities were processed manually and stored in separate Excel files by
the sales, production, and procurement departments. Employees were becoming
increasingly overburdened by the growth and market demands of the company.
SML needed to ensure that employees could readily access critical data, applications,
and tools they need to perform their job functions efficiently. It also needed an end-
to-end procurement and logistics business process to optimize the flow of material.
With seven disparate satellite offices throughout the country, SML wanted an
automated and integrated workflow solution to scale with the company as it grew. An
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution would integrate the enterprise data and
processes into one single system, aligning SML with their rapid growth rate demands.
YASH Technologies was chosen to implement SAP ERP, based on their Gold Channel
Partner status, rapid deployment methodologies and experience with global ERP
implementations.
YASH Solutions
The initial phase of this project involved a change management initiative for SML.
Another vendor had previously implemented SAP ERP, but improper deployment
methods led to inefficiencies and dissatisfaction with SML’s users. YASH worked with
the client’s key stakeholders to show that SAP, with proper implementation and
training, would enhance processes and productivity.
After the client was confident that SAP ERP would provide superior functionality and
greater ease of use, YASH implemented a client-specific solution. This included
providing a customized variant configuration with Bill of Materials (BOM) and Material
Requirement Planning (MRP) that re-engineered their entire HR and manufacturing
processes.
YASH implemented SAP ERP Financials to ensure compliance and predictability of
business performance, so SML could gain a deeper financial insight across the
enterprise and tighten control of finances. It also automated accounting processes
and financial supply-chain management.
SAP ERP Human Capital Management was deployed to optimize SML’s HR processes and
maximize the potential of employees, while supporting innovation, growth and
flexibility. This efficient solution automated talent management, core HR functions,
and workforce deployment. SAP ERP Operations enabled SML to manage end-to-end
procurement processes. It automated the entire manufacturing cycle, leading to an
improvement in lead-time for raw materials. Along with industry Best Practices, other
SAP ERP 6.0 solutions that were implemented included:

“Re-investing in SAP was a concern for us since we were not able to reap the proper returns from the investment with another
vendor. Our strategic partnership with YASH enabled us to regain confidence in SAP, and improve accountability, forecast
financial projections, and access data securely.”
