Cooper Tire & Rubber Company
Overview
Cooper Tire & Rubber Company realized the market was changing and they needed a faster way to change with it. Improving the lead time for new product development was their main focus. They needed to find a way to get their new tires to market faster.
Key Challenges
The master data team was being blamed for being a roadblock to getting new products to market faster. David Drake, Manager Global Data Governance at Cooper Tire, had the key responsibility for the quality and integrity of all SAP Master Data. Key challenges they faced:
It took 24 months from idea to production for a new product
Manual data entry was exceeding 100 hours
There was no visibility into the new product development process
Results
CPS proposed a discovery engagement to dissect the challenges Cooper Tire was facing. This discovery session uncovered project complexities including the number of employees that are part of the workflow, risks, integration points and data collection challenges. Cooper Tire decided to start the 8 identified projects from the discover session. In one year, all 8 projects were implemented, and the results have been nothing short of spectacular. The partnership with CPS added value by optimizing processes quickly to drive results for revenue and shareholder value.
