Scapa is a worldwide provider of specialized adhesive tapes,films, and foams serving core international markets in the
medical, transportation, electronics, and industrial assembly business segments. IT plays a key role in driving shop-floor efficiencies and improving visibility into business operations. Working with Dell Services, Scapa established a shared cross-country IT team to deliver a world-class Manufacturing Execution System (MES)for its business units leveraging existing SAP ERP and SAP MII infrastructures.The company faced a wide range of challenges after years of mergers and acquisitions. Constraints included disparate IT infrastructures, varying site business methodologies, manual
processes, delayed data entry, poor system performance, and laborintensive transactional processing. The team
methodically and collaboratively built out a fully integrated technical design for each component of the SAP MII
application to fulfill both the business end-user functional needs and backend SAP ERP data configurations. With multiple SAP ERP systems consolidated into a centralized system, Scapa shop-floor workers now use a central dashboard to integrate
production information retrievals, reporting, and labeling from one interface, tailored to their specific job functions. With data consolidated from multiple plants, workers enjoy real-time data visibility to the overall operation that enables them to make quick actionable business decisions affecting their work centers.
