SAP implementation and logistics optimization at a DIY retailer

In a one-year project, I implemented SAP R/3, including the MM, SD and FI modules, for a DIY store supplier. This logistics company ensures that DIY stores are supplied on time and in the right quantities. In addition to the implementation, I trained employees in the branches to ensure smooth use of the new systems.

One highlight was the optimization of logistics processes. With the help of statistical models, SAP was expanded so that optimal order quantities and times could be determined. This enabled economical warehousing and reliable deliveries to the DIY stores. To support this, I programmed ABAP/4 reports that made these processes more transparent.

This experience showed me how powerful SAP is when it comes to mapping complex logistics processes – as long as the standard is used sensibly without overloading it.
