Abstract
As in many companies, LAPP currently considers digitalisation as one of the most important issues for the future. Firmly established in the corporate strategy, one of the aims of this initiative is to automate processes using appropriate system solutions. This case study demonstrates how a project to implement automation of the process for obtaining long-term supplier declarations (LTSDs) was successfully completed using a structured approach.
Obtaining long-term supplier declarations (LTSDs) is the basis for ensuring a smooth customs declaration process. At LAPP, the process for obtaining the LTSD was previously based on numerous manual steps and was executed in a decentralised manner by individual companies in the group. The case study explains how a current situation analysis provided a structured identification of weaknesses and how a target concept was created and implemented. As an output of this project, LAPP now has a centralised and automated system for obtaining LTSDs in Europe. This makes the entire process leaner and also ensures a high data quality while simultaneously reducing the amount of human effort required. Successful project management enabled complexity of the issue to be dealt with through successful cooperation using cross-departmental interfaces.
Starting with project initiation, in which the initial situation and the project objectives are described in detail, the case study continues with an outline of project planning phase. The actual project implementation is described in the third section of the case study. Finally, we will look at the success factors and lessons learned before summarising the entire project in the final section.
