Nestlé to use new solution to more easily meet
customer demands
Accenture (NYSE: ACN) and SAP are teaming to build advanced
capabilities for the SAP Recipe Development application, which
helps process-industry companies — such as consumer goods,
chemicals and life sciences companies — more efficiently meet
customer requirements and rapidly develop new products and
services.
Built on SAP S/4HANA® for increased agility and its
ability to scale, the SAP Recipe Development application helps
companies optimize supply chains for streamlined product
development and reduce wasted resources. Using existing customer
data as a basis for formulations and calculations, it provides a
simplified, hierarchical view displaying all formulation
information — including calculation results — on a single screen
for easier analysis and increased transparency. As a result, users
can create individualized displays and easily conduct simulations
to understand the impact of recipe changes to make data-driven
decisions.
The new capabilities will provide the ability to share data —
including up-to-date information on costs, nutrients and
compliance, as well as details reflecting vegetarian or vegan
products — across the entire recipe development process for greater
visibility and insights into every development phase.
Among the first companies planning to use the enhanced solution
to its business is Nestlé, the world’s largest food and beverage
company. “Target-driven recipe development — the functionality that
Nestlé product developers were dreaming of to design compliant
recipes — is a revolution in terms of usability,” said Isabelle
Caraux-Lambert, senior product manager for Specification to Product
at Nestlé. “This work was an outcome of successful design thinking
on the formulation area.”
Other new capabilities include the ability to define target and
limit values and the addition of integrated product compliance
checks to ensure that all rules are being met, which is essential
in highly regulated industries such as food and beverages,
chemicals and life sciences.
Jean-Christophe LeDoux, a managing director in the Accenture SAP
Business Group, said, “Process-industry companies are taking a
closer look at product lifecycle management and other ways to scale
and drive profitable growth. We’re helping clients leverage SAP
target-driven recipe development capabilities that use real-time
collaborative processes to provide calculations on costs, nutrients
or ingredients on one screen for simplified management and faster
product development. We believe this will become the industry
standard.”
The enhanced capabilities for the SAP Recipe Development
application will be available with the SAP S/4HANA 1909
release.
