Využití SAP Analytics Cloud pro strategické plánování a reporting CAPEX a OPEX ve výrobním podniku

This diploma thesis examines the use of the SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) platform for the planning and reporting of operating expenditures (OPEX) and capital expenditures (CAPEX) in a manufacturing company operating in the tobacco industry. The objective is to design and implement a solution that consolidates planning and reporting processes into a single integrated cloud platform, replacing the previously used IBM Cognos and SAP BPC tools. The solution builds upon an existing workforce planning environment in SAC and extends it to cover the OPEX and CAPEX domain. The theoretical part of the thesis defines strategic planning and management of OPEX and CAPEX in manufacturing enterprises, introduces the concept of Business Intelligence and its architecture including dimensional modeling and self-service analytics, compares major BI and planning platforms (Microsoft Power BI, Qlik Sense, Anaplan, Oracle PBCS), and justifies the selection of SAC. It further describes the functional and architectural capabilities of SAP Analytics Cloud including planning functions, predictive analytics, and integration with SAP S/4HANA, and contextualizes the topic within the tobacco industry as a heavily regulated sector undergoing product transformation. The practical part analyzes the initial state of planning and reporting processes in the selected company, defines the requirements for the new solution, and documents the design and implementation of the OPEX and CAPEX planning and reporting solution in SAP Analytics Cloud. The thesis is based on a real project carried out for a major international manufacturing company with tens of thousands of employees operating in over a hundred markets. The result is a functional solution that contributes to more efficient financial planning, increased data transparency, and enhanced support for managerial decision- making.
