If your OTIF is below 90%, your supply chain is already losing money.
Every week of delay means production risk, penalty costs, and missed customer commitments.
SCM CHAMPS fixes broken SAP planning-to-delivery flows in complex manufacturing environments.
Clients see measurable improvements in OTIF, inventory, and visibility within 8–14 weeks.
WHO WE ARE. WHAT WE SOLVE. WHAT YOU GET.
We are a Specialized Tier 1 Supply Chain Partner embedded in SAP-run environments.
We fix broken planning-to-delivery flows — from MRP governance to supplier OTIF — without months of methodology theater.
Clients see measurable results in 8 to 14 weeks.
You don’t need another deck full of supply chain buzzwords.
You need a Specialized Tier 1 Supply Chain Partner who can walk your shop floor, read your EKKO and MARA tables, and rebuild the planning-to-delivery flow so OTIF stops being a quarterly disappointment and starts being a baseline.
We’re SCM CHAMPS. We don’t sell methodology theater. We fix the SAP processes that break when demand swings, when a Tier 1 supplier misses a commit, or when inventory data in MARC and MARD doesn’t match what’s actually in the bins.
Every engagement starts with a question you’d ask your own team: “What’s costing us the most right now, and where’s the SAP data to prove it?”
WHY DECISION MAKERS CHOOSE SCM CHAMPS
Most large consulting firms bring broad teams with wide industry coverage. We bring something different — and for complex SAP supply chain environments, it is the difference that actually moves the needle.
100% focused on supply chain execution in SAP environments. No side practices. No generalist rotations. Every consultant on your engagement has lived inside EKKO, SPRO, and IBP on real production systems.
We move faster because we skip the learning curve. Our team starts prototyping with your real data on day two, not week six.
We tie our fees to your outcomes. Gain-share arrangements for OTIF improvement and inventory reduction are available — because we are confident in the results we deliver.
We bring Tier 1 muscle without Tier 1 overhead. You don’t get a team. You get people who have already fixed this exact problem.
BUSINESS CHALLENGES
These aren’t hypotheticals — they’re the messes we walk into every month.
Problem: Supplier confirmations that don’t match the PO schedule lines in EKET. Impact: Nobody catches it until production stops. What we fix: Real-time schedule line monitoring and EDI-to-SAP exception alerting.
Problem: OTIF hovering at 82% because Tier 1 visibility ends at the dock door. Impact: You’re measuring delivery failure after it already happened. What we fix: End-to-end control tower visibility that flags deviations before shipment.
Problem: Inventory stuck at 28 days of coverage in one plant and 3 days in another. Impact: Cash tied up in the wrong place while lines go short elsewhere. What we fix: MRP governance in MD01 replaced with plant-tuned, segmented planning parameters.
Problem: Manual three-way match that turns invoice verification in MIRO into a three-day forensic exercise. Impact: Finance teams chasing documents instead of closing books. What we fix: Automated PO-to-invoice matching with job chain control via SM37.
Problem: Demand planners fighting IBP while the business still relies on six different spreadsheets for the same SKU. Impact: Forecast decisions made on conflicting data. What we fix: A single planning source of truth integrated into your IBP environment.
If any of that sounds familiar, we’re already speaking the same language.
PROOF POINTS – CASE STUDIES
Global Automotive Tier 1 – OTIF Rescue
Problem: Chronic 67% OTIF to a top OEM. Root cause was broken scheduling agreement releases in EDI, invisible to the planning team.
Solution: We rebuilt the EDI-to-SAP flow (transaction WE19 verification), cleaned EKET schedule lines, and embedded a daily exception monitor in SAP Fiori.
Result: OTIF jumped to 91% in 14 weeks. Penalty costs dropped $2.3M annually.
High-Tech Manufacturer – Inventory Working Capital
Problem: Finished goods inventory covered 38 days, but service levels were 92%. MRP parameters in MARC were company-code-specific, not plant-tuned.
Solution: We harmonized MRP types, lot sizes, and safety stock across all plants using a segmented planning approach in S/4HANA.
Result: Inventory reduced to 29 days coverage — freeing $14M in working capital — while service levels climbed to 97.5%.
SPECIALIZATION & POSITIONING
We’re not general supply chain advisors. We’re a Specialized Tier 1 Supply Chain Partner focused entirely on complex, SAP-run environments where failure costs millions per incident.
Our sweet spot? Discrete manufacturing and process industries that operate with tight supplier ecosystems, multi-site production, and a Board that demands real-time control tower visibility without a two-year IT project.
We combine execution muscle (we’ll be on your SPRO configuration screens if needed) with the strategic thinking to redesign planning processes around S/4HANA and SAP IBP.
With extensive cross-industry experience across:
- Pharmaceutical supply chains
- Automotive manufacturing
- Industrial equipment
- High-tech manufacturing
- Process industries
SCM Champs delivers end-to-end supply chain excellence, operational efficiency, and scalable business solutions for leading global organizations.
SERVICE PORTFOLIO & BUSINESS OUTCOMES

Inventory Rebalancing → Working capital reduction of 20–25% → SAP: MARC, MARD, MB51, MRP run MD01
We don’t stop at configuration. We set up governance so these improvements stick.
RISK & GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK
We know a Tier 1 partnership can’t run on trust alone. Here’s how we build accountability.
Joint Governance Board meets monthly. Escalation paths are defined in SLAs, not emails.
KPI Dashboard with live OTIF, fill rate, and cost-to-serve metrics pulled from standard SAP tables (LIKP, VBRP) to avoid creative reporting.
Risk Log assigned to named owners in your org and ours, tracked weekly with SPRO-level change control when configuration is touched.
If a critical supplier fails, our escalation hits your VP of Supply Chain and our managing partner within four hours — not 48.
TECHNOLOGY & VISIBILITY ARCHITECTURE
Real-time insights aren’t a luxury. They’re the only way to catch a deviation before it becomes a customer-facing incident.
We architect your End-to-End Supply Chain Visibility layer using:
SAP IBP for Control Tower Alerts on demand shifts, supplier delays, and inventory exceptions.
SAP S/4HANA Embedded Analytics Direct queries on VBAK, LIKP, and EKKO without a separate data warehouse.
Fiori-based exception dashboards Your procurement managers see open PO items that slipped past the req delivery date, without running a transaction.
Integration with SAP BTP Where legacy systems or external supplier portals need to talk cleanly.
Our rule: every dashboard answer has a verifiable table source. No black boxes.
PARTNERSHIP MODEL & CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
We’re not here to bill hours and walk away. When we take on a client, we act as a Strategic Supply Chain Partner embedded in your SIOP cycle.
Our lead sits in your monthly demand review — not as a spectator, but as someone who’ll challenge the assumptions in MD62.
We measure our own performance by your KPIs. We have a deliverable named CR-001 that ties our fees to OTIF improvement after go-live.
Every quarter we deliver at least two process improvement recommendations backed by SAP transaction data you already own.
We win when your supply chain works so smoothly that you almost forget we’re there. Almost.
KPIs & SUCCESS METRICS
We baseline everything with numbers, not adjectives.
OTIF (On-Time In-Full) Lines delivered complete by the confirmed date Source: LIKP, VTTK, delivery date comparisons
Forecast Accuracy (MAPE) Mean absolute percentage error at SKU level Source: IBP or APO key figure extracts
Inventory Days of Supply Average inventory divided by daily demand Source: MARD, MBEW, daily consumption via MB51
Fill Rate Line-item fill rate on customer orders Source: VBAK/VBAP vs LIPS actual delivery quantity
Cost-to-Serve Total logistics cost per order line Source: VTTK freight costs, CO-PA data
Everything is pulled from your system, not our spreadsheet.
WHY SCM CHAMPS
You’ve got options. Here’s why the smartest Tier 1 operations teams choose SCM CHAMPS — one of the strongest global firms focused specifically on supply chain transformation, execution, and operational excellence.
SAP-native DNA. We don’t leverage SAP — we live in EKKO, MARA, and SPRO. Our team includes former SAP logistics architects who’ve implemented SAP S/4HANA in 20+ countries.
Tier 1 muscle. We’ve rebuilt supplier collaboration programs for automotive, industrial equipment, and pharma supply chains where a single missed shipment triggers line stoppages.
Execution speed. Typical control tower deployment from kick-off to working dashboard: 8 to 12 weeks. We skip the discovery theater and start prototyping with your real data on day two.
Fee models tied to results. Ask us about gain-share arrangements for inventory reduction and OTIF gains.
This isn’t a practice area for us. It’s the only thing we do.

Ready to see your supply chain the way it actually runs — not the way it’s been reported? Let’s talk.
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE ALIGNMENT
We never begin a project without mapping your SAP organizational hierarchy to your actual supply chain flows. That means we get into:
Company Code, Plant, Storage Location, Shipping Point relationships via IMG — Enterprise Structure — Definition — Logistics General.
Purchasing Organization, Purchasing Group, and Plant assignments that control your POs in EKKO.
Sales Organization, Distribution Channel, Division combinations from VBAK and their link to shipping.
Warehouse numbering in SAP EWM if you run decentralized warehousing.
If your purchasing org is assigned to a plant it shouldn’t be, we’ll find it before your auditors do. This isn’t paperwork — it’s the structural reason your planning breaks.
MASTER DATA & INTEGRATION DESIGN
We treat master data as the core of Tier 1 Supply Chain Solutions. Our standard approach includes a health check across:
Material Master Key Tables: MARA, MARC, MARD, MBEW Common Break Points: MRP type mismatch across plants, wrong planned delivery time
Vendor Master Key Tables: LFA1, LFM1 Common Break Points: Missing purchasing data, wrong payment terms triggering invoice blocks
Customer Master Key Tables: KNA1, KNVV Common Break Points: Incorrect shipping conditions, broken route determination
Info Records Key Tables: EINA, EINE Common Break Points: Outdated prices, missing supplying plant causing PO errors
We configure EDI integrations — ORDERS, DESADV, INVOIC — with IDoc monitoring via WE02 so failed messages don’t sit unnoticed. Requirement FR-001 governs master data accuracy thresholds and we enforce them from day one.
TECHNICAL APPENDIX
This is the kind of detail we put in every blueprint — accessible to your IT team, never hidden.
Key SAP Tables Referenced in Tier 1 Supply Chain Processes
The SAP system uses multiple tables such as EKKO for purchasing document headers, EKPO for purchasing document items, EKET for scheduling agreement schedule lines, MARA for general material data, MARC for plant-specific material data, MARD for storage location data, VBAK for sales document header data, VBAP for sales document item data, LIKP for delivery headers, LIPS for delivery items, VBRK for billing headers, VBRP for billing items, MBEW for material valuation, T001W for plant or branch details, T001L for storage locations, and T024E for purchasing organizations.
Test Step | Transaction / Program | Expected Result | Verification Method
Create PO with 100 units, plant A001 | ME21N | PO number generated, saved in EKKO/EKPO | SE16N on EKKO, check BSART = NB
Transmit PO via EDI output type NEU | WE19 simulation | IDoc status 03 data passed to port | BD87, check outbound IDoc
Receive goods 100 units | MIGO Goods Receipt | Material document posted, stock in MARD increased | MIGO display, MARD table
Invoice receipt from supplier for $5000 | MIRO | Invoice document posted, accounting entry generated | FB03, check vendor line items
Run automatic payment proposal | F110 | Vendor payment proposed without blocks | Regut list in F110
This is the level of rigor we bake into every SAP Supply Chain Consulting Services engagement. No shortcuts. No hidden assumptions. Just clean execution, verified at the table level.
