Modern Solution Brief

Manufacturing depends on high-quality product, material, supplier, customer, asset, plant, and reference data. Siloed operations and disparate plants lead to duplicate records, mismatched bills of materials (BOM), and broken procurement cycles. Implementing Master Data Management (MDM) resolves these data quality issues, ensuring every plant, vendor, and part is mapped to a single golden record.

Scope

Master Data Domains Managed

Standardizing core entities across plants, warehouses, and partner channels.

Product Master

Unify specifications, drawings, and metadata across PLM, ERP, and catalogs.

Material Master

Clean and deduplicate raw materials, components, and packaging parts to optimize procurement.

Supplier / Vendor Master

Establish a unified vendor profile across locations to track spend, contracts, and performance.

Customer Master

Harmonize distributor and end-user profiles to improve sales coordination and service.

Asset & Equipment Master

Track machinery, parts lists, and plant tag details to build predictive maintenance plans.

Plant & Reference Data

Standardize units of measure, plant codes, and cost centers across global facilities.

Implementation Specs

Technical & Platform Capabilities

Engineered processes built to align physical inputs with executive data structures.

Data Profiling & Quality Rules

Assess data errors, identify anomalies, and enforce formatting rules.

Match & Merge Logic

Configure rules to automatically group duplicate records and resolve conflicts.

Stewardship Workflows

Define approval processes for data stewards to manage and enrich golden records.

Hierarchy Management

Track relationships between assemblies, parts, components, and product structures.

AI & ML Automation

AI-Assisted Operations and Governance

Automate deduplication, classification, and anomalies checks with human stewardship oversight.

AI-assisted Duplicate Detection

Machine learning models classify spelling errors and identify matching parts.

Attribute Classification

AI analyzes raw descriptions to suggest missing fields, materials, or category tags.

Anomaly and Drift Alerts

Detect schema changes or data entry drift before errors affect downstream systems.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to questions regarding this solution area.

Legacy ERP systems, independent plant databases, and manual data entries generate duplicate records over time. Different names for the same vendor or component lead to inventory double-ordering and reporting inaccuracies.

Cleaning, deduplicating, and mapping materials and suppliers BEFORE migrating to S/4HANA or other modern cloud ERP systems prevents transferring dirty data, reducing migration delays and risks.
