CITIC Dicastal

Before: Challenges & Opportunities

• The two wheel factories and the casting factory at the production base lacked a unified, standardized management platform.
• Data across procurement, production, sales, finance, and cost management was disconnected, creating significant information silos.
• To meet group reporting and compliance requirements, data inconsistencies and system fragmentation needed to be resolved quickly.
• As a smart-manufacturing benchmark factory pilot, the project demanded high standards under tight timelines, requiring rapid go-live and replication to other regions.
• With the production base located in Morocco, SAP S/4HANA was needed to meet local fiscal and tax management requirements.
• The pilot project had extremely high demands for the service provider, requiring a professional consulting team and experienced management personnel.
• MTC's comprehensive SAP overseas service capabilities ensured smooth local project delivery in Morocco.
• MTC's well-established knowledge transfer system enabled the cultivation of digital management talent at the Morocco base during the project. Post go-live project value and highlights:
• Rapidly established a digital management platform for the Morocco base, building a standardized, science-based integrated business-finance-tax management platform.
• Met Moroccan local accounting standards requirements, achieving global financial and tax management with local compliance.
• Established an end-to-end automated and standardized control process spanning procurement, production, quality, sales, finance, and cost accounting—enhancing overall base-wide collaboration efficiency.
• Completed SAP and MES system integration.
• Unified material coding with a strict one-item-one-code rule, introducing batch attributes and shift concepts. DMS and SAP product master data are kept consistent, ensuring data accuracy and improving work efficiency.
• Connected operational and financial data with group headquarters systems, enabling real-time information alignment between the Morocco operation and the group—providing data assurance for CITIC Dicastal's future cross-border business development and decision-making.
