When Natural Disaster Strikes, Is Your Organization Ready to Face It Head-On?

LyondellBasell is a multinational chemical company that is the largest licensor of polyethylene and polypropylene technologies in the world. Within the past year, LyondellBasell implemented SAP MDG for two objects across five worldwide plants. The first phase of this implementation created the business rules and put the governance framework in place for the complete enterprise system landscape. With almost 30,000 unique vendors, more than 350 equipment classes, and more than 600,000 materials for SAP Master Data Governance, this project faced many of the common technical challenges that come with any large-scale implementation, but also worked through nature’s challenge: Hurricane Harvey. This people, process, and technology story shares how Lyondell found success by building a unique road map early on. Employing its collaboration-centric “One Team” approach, the road map focused on requirements, implementation of common governance processes, and leading practices. Learn the collaboration and technical steps that LyondellBasell took to ensure project success and how it overcame some of the unique hurdles of SAP Master Data Governance implementations.
