ASPIRE replanning creates a unique opportunity to replace end-of-life WMS systems ahead of the main deployment wave.
Outdated systems (LogSys, Exacta, x47) require replacement to protect operations at Mannheim, Indianapolis, and Monsheim.
Align global hubs on a single SAP EWM (x84) platform — realizing the DSC strategic goal "Next Gen IT and Processes".
Transition from Exacta into EWM x84. Phased replacement starting with inbound, delivery management, batching, and cubing.
Replace LogSys WMS and Planning Layer with EWM x84. Retain PLS Material Flow System. One-step cutover for ~300 users.
Lift-and-shift migration from EWM x47 to x84. Blueprint for reusable instrument warehouse solution.
Accelerate story refinement and handover across all 6 process teams. Target: move from 3.4% to 15%+ by end of PI 8.
113 stories without PI labels need assignment. Systematic cleanup sprint-by-sprint to improve planning accuracy.
Preparing for the critical delivery phase in PI 8 and beyond. Ramping up team capacity, aligning dependencies, and ensuring readiness for accelerated build & test cycles.
