Whoever thought bringing SAP global template to FLNA should be the ones fired. As well as Mexico buyers. No wonder stock hasn't recovered since Q4 . Ramon even admitted it interviews SAP hurt us . As far as I see every FLNA PLANT is sc--wed up . Vendors put our company on hold for non payment . Cannot order items to keep plants running .

@ea sap remains a legacy system dated in the 70s. Those of us who implemented it and know it's guts know how archaic it is.
This should never have been brought in.
Pbna wrote the base which others never give those teams credit for. Others just borrowed the core foundations that were built.
Phfff. A second tier software designed from era of VW beetle... Get a pulse, this garbage was not worth it.
@ee Another that has no clue what they are talking about.
@ea you must be one of the designers- probably a “ flat earther” also . Scary that people like you are employed In PepsiCo . Why not try help deploy it if it’s so good ??
@aq You have no experience, and it shows. PGT, SAP, S4 functions fine if you know how to use it. The people that implemented PBNA had no clue how SAP works.
I think it hurt a lot to let the experienced and talented IT and Finance folks go before the SAP transformation. They treated our experienced, IT staff as interchangeable. 🤦🏽♂️
Too much outsourcing, offshoring, and hiring/promoting based on age has hurt the whole transformation process. We need to bring IT back in-house.
@an correct it missed 80% of requirements. We had to build those front scratch.
Sap should never have been given the green light.
Look at where Vienna is, she left and so did others who started this train.
So much money squandered as it was Indra's dream to make it happen
Faster, better, stronger. Gaslighting. Are they oblivious or just use this because it sounds cool.
@an PGT is the issue . The “ design “ was mandated by highly arrogant people , very limited referrals , hand - picked autocrats . And what was delivered , for many applications was abysmal. But - the self righteous stood by their design and x years later - still a sh-tshow .
Many of these were in R and D .. some got promoted to LG2/3 …. And still no solve for the poor applications.
PGT is not the issue, it's the implemenation method. You have 3 internal units all operating differently and Ramon figured S4 would bring it all together, except he forgot that each unit was working separately to implement.
It's really boneheaded. I can't even tell you how boneheaded. All the work to bring together the units needed to happen in 2019, not now.
@ac EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
Production Line down. Part available. Vendor on hold. PO stuck in SAP. But good news, the transformation is going great.
💯 MBS/MCC is a disaster and a disgrace, as well as India. PGT and all its layers, bloated structure and levels, red tape, roadblocks - an absolute train wreck, and that train just keeps diving off the cliff, car after car, period after period. Then SLT continues the “faster better stronger” mantra. But actually getting one work item completed takes 100’s of touches and stoppages along the process to complete. and even when finished 99% of the work has errors. And let’s visit this BST team who has this app they’ve implemented as ANOTHER set of steps to order a pencil. This whole mess should be a case study/example used in business school for how to reverse a business’s efficiency and ki-l a business by over-complication. A Ted talk on how to drive a business into the ground and operate in a reverse-reality of efficiency and simplicity. A complete joke that pGT and the employees at HQ who are shoving this down our throats should be so ashamed to be a part of…a perfect example of HQ roles who have nothing valuable to contribute other than making up tools and rules to justify their continued employment in Plano, Purchare and Habitat. Nothing currently in place regarding PGT, COE results in efficiency, speed, accuracy, or common sense. Yet they’ll keep building up these teams at HQ while dismissing field sales, labor, “true” workers. The org has become The Twilight Zone!
