With five plants, Butterball has a disparate technical environment that includes a mix of Windows and AS/400 applications as well as SQL Server and Oracle databases. Integration projects have included various EDI/B2B improvements that have increased automation by increasing trading partners' participation in Butterball's EDI program; connectivity between the company's transportation management system and the 3PLs handling shipments; a vendor-managed inventory (VMI) implementation that pushes inbound planning information to the company's JDA demand and forecasting software and the resulting orders into SAP; and more.

The projects have helped Butterball solve supply chain and technical challenges ranging from heavy peak season volumes and rapid order turnaround requirements to batch processing delays, growth in trading partner numbers and serialization issues on inbound shipments.

Butner's session is scheduled at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 14. The complete ASUG agenda is available at http://agendabuilder.sapevents.com/go/ab.sessioncatalog/?l=56.
