Abstract
An international chemicals group decides to introduce the packaged software SAPR/3 throughout the organization. This decision will affect eight divisions, 200 legally independent companies and some 150 different countries. Initial implementations were based on individual companies within the group. However, an investigation of the global supply chain revealed a lack of consistency in core processes. This investigation made it clear that future implementations will have to be coordinated throughout the group. The first question to be clarified is the significance which the legal entities, divisions and regions are to have for the group in the future and the dependencies which will result. The integration requirements can then be derived from this analysis of the business relationships involved.
