Project Goals
• Enable the Broad to be the lowest cost provider of genomic sequencing
data.
– Improve Production cost tracking
– Implement product costing (cost per read)
– Simplify Purchasing and Financials, including the addition of ECAT
purchasing
– Simplify batch creation and inventory management processes
– Improve “ease of use” for highly repetitive transactions
• Enhance operational performance
– Improve shop floor tracking of batch numbers to enable timely
troubleshooting
– Improve quality management by tying inspections results to materials and
batches produced
• Fully integrate with the MIT SAP system, to reduce long term IT costs

physical inventory)
• Batch management
– Quality Management (QM)

• Workflow
Broad is an SAP Plant
• SAP defines a plant as a location that holds stock
(inventory), contains service or maintenance facilities
and or manufactures products
• Each plant within SAP can have many unique
features
– Factory calendar – identifies working days
– Storage locations – location where stock is physically kept in
a plant
– Master data - materials, work centers, bills or material,
recipes, batch
– Planning requirements – reorder point, forecast based
– Quality mgt – inspection plans/master inspection
characteristics
Master Data Management
• Plant Calendar specific for broad
• Organizational Structure (Plant, Purchasing group, etc.)
• Material Master (Part Numbers)
– Re-Order Points
– Lead time
– Standard cost
• Bills Of Material (BOM’s)
• Master Inspection Characteristics (MIC’s)
• Inspection Plans
• Recipes
• Reason Codes
• Purchasing Info Records
• Purchasing Source Lists
• Release/Approval Levels (Req. & PO)
Planning
• Forecasting
• Long Term Planning (LTP)
• Materials Requirement Planning (MRP)
– Finished and Semi-finished (Make)
– Raw materials/Components (Buy)
– Bulk materials (Buy)
• Cash Flow Analysis
• Actuals vs Budget Comparisons
Procurement
• MRP generated Purchase Requisitions
• Directly created Purchase Requisitions
– In SAP
– Via SAP Web
• Purchase Requisition approval workflow
• Purchase Order creation using Req info & master data
• Electronic document management for both Requisitions and PO’s
(RFQ, Quotes, Spec’s, etc)
• Purchase Order approval workflow
• Automatic Purchase Order print/fax
• Single screen for Expensed material Receiving
• Custom “Confirmation” transaction for Inventory
• Quality Hold on Invoice payment until after approval (where desired)
• Automated 3 way match for Invoice payment
Inventory Management
• Goods receipts
– Purchase Orders/Production Orders
– Cost Centers
– Projects/Internal Orders
– Mini-Marts/Groups (WBS cost objects)
• Goods Issues
– Production Orders (including Backflush)
– Cost Centers
– Projects/Internal Orders
– Mini-Marts/Groups (WBS cost objects)
• Goods movements within Stockroom
• Cycle Counting & Physical Inventory
• Restricted and Un-restricted stock
• Connected/Synchronized Unit and $$$
Production
• Process orders
– Capturing costs
– Goods Issue and/or Back Flush
• Automated batch assignment
• Debugging via Lot Genealogy (from Supplier
to finished product)
• Yield tracking
• Integration to Quality results tracking
• MRP Planning capability
Quality Management
• Automated Batch # assignment
• Lot Genealogy from Supplier to End Product
– Feeds to Broad Data Warehouse (SQUID) reporting
• Invoice payment hold until Quality approval on Receipts
(where desired)
• Pre-defined Master Inspection Characteristics’ and
Inspection Plans
– Consistency
– Ease of maintenance
• On Line Usage Decisions
– Inventory Units and $$$ moves to correct bucket automatically
• Results tracking and Alerts
• Statistical Process Control (SPC) charts
Cost Tracking
• Monthly Updated Standard Cost tied to each material
• Material $$$ tracked to individual WBS cost objects,
internal orders (projects).
– Based on Standard cost X Unit Qty
– For PO’s, Goods Issues, Returns, etc
– Single transaction moves $$$ and Units
• Variance accounts to isolate particular activities
– Reason codes to provide granularity
• Expanded reporting (Inventory $$$, PPV, etc)
• Ability to track actual cost expended against a pre-
established budget
• Capability to plan and track Labor costs as well, though
this is not being used by the Broad
