Driving Global Recipe Standardization and Manufacturing Efficiency with SAP S/4HANA at Zoetis

Challenges
- During the SAP S/4HANA implementation design phase, a key gap was identified.
- Zoetis lacked a global standard template for recipe and resource maintenance.
- This resulted in inconsistent recipe structures across different manufacturing sites.
- Master data setups varied both between sites and within individual locations.
Solution
Bluecrux partnered with Zoetis to establish a global recipe template by:
- Mapping resource and recipe fields to enable global standardization.
  
  Separating constrained equipment into individual resources for detailed scheduling.
  
  Reviewing and updating labor and equipment hours to ensure accurate costing and utilization.
  
  Reviewing and creating labor pools, to improve costing and scheduling accuracy.
  
  Defining recipe and setup groups based on setup times and changeover costs.
  
  Creating a comprehensive training guide explaining site support and master data interaction with ePPDS.
  
  Testing the approach with pilot sites.
  
  Defining the global rollout approach.
Results
- More accurate costing with improved recipe structures and accurate labor and equipment hours, ensuring that costs are allocated accurately.
- Real-time capacity checks for labor and equipment utilization.
- Optimized sequencing, maximizing shop floor efficiency.
- Improved accuracy of planned availability dates, driving better planning and execution reliability.
