Global Implementation: Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

The Client

Cervecería Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma (CCM) exports beverages to the United States, Latin America, and Asia. CCM is the main brewery division of parent company Fomento Económico Mexicana, S.A. de C. V. (FEMSA), one of the largest producers of beer and soft drinks in Mexico.

The Challenge

Cervecería Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma needed to improve its business systems for numerous reasons. Although the company retained a dominant market share of Mexican beverage exports, CCM’s legacy systems lacked detailed production output reporting capabilities. Consequently, visibility into systems and distribution networks was limited. They could not determine if actual performance met industry best practices. CCM engaged BearingPoint to develop an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) business case, outlining costs, risks, potential savings, improvements, and integration requirements for implementing an ERP system.

The Solutions

BearingPoint assembled an experienced international team skilled at end-to-end ERP solutions. The team delivered these mission-critical services to CCM:

• Conducted extensive interviews and onsite reviews of CCM business processes and technical requirements.
• Utilized benchmarks, SCM Quick Scan, and world-class finance tools to identify improvement opportunities, information technology (IT) requirements, and software recommendations.
• Adapted package integration and selection for the strategy, including world-class IT, finance, and supply chain management methodologies.

After analyzing information gathered through these methods, we developed a viable ERP business case and global implementation strategy.

The Benefits

With help from BearingPoint, CCM developed a global ERP implementation strategy to sharpen its business systems efficiencies. CCM received findings on its existing technical infrastructure, as well as functionality improvement requirements and costs. This helped CCM implement the best global ERP system for their company.
