Description of the Scope of Work

Leister Technologies AG is implementing SAP S/4HANA using a greenfield approach. S/4HANA will involve the use of many modules and peripheral systems, such as SAP EWM, PP, MRP, QM, etc. This rollout of our own SAP template represents a major step forward in our digital transformation, enabling us to redesign our production, planning, logistics, and sales processes from the ground up in a modern and optimized manner. A wide variety of products, varying levels of vertical integration—including in-house component production in some cases—diverse markets and seasonal fluctuations, as well as the distinctive and varied skills of our production staff, require the implementation of specific SAP-supported strategies and solutions. Following the go-live in Sarnen, we plan to roll out S/4HANA to our international sales organizations.
