THE WORLD OF PMI IS CHANGING – RRP’S: OUR NEW PRODUCT PLATFORMS
With or without
tobacco
With or without
electronics
Burning tobacco generates many
harmful or potentially harmful
components “HPHC’s”
Heat tobacco rather than burn
it to significantly reduce level
of HPHC’s
Our research is based on
state of the art
methodologies inspired by
pharmaceutical industry
best practices
A range of products to
address all consumer
preferences
Eliminating combustion is
the most promising path
to risk reduction for
smokers who don’t quit
Significant investment in
risk-reduction
substantiation

Note: Reduced-Risk Products ("RRPs") is the term the company uses to refer to products with the potential to reduce individual risk and population harm in comparison to smoking cigarettes. The products depicted are subject
to ongoing development and therefore the visuals are illustrative and do not necessarily represent the latest stages of product development
TOP FIVE PROBLEMS FACED IN COSTING
• Excel was the main tool for SVC budgeting, reporting and variance analysis
• Huge amount of data used for SVC budgeting, informal and requiring manual controls
• Deviations allocated by volume to SKU, losing the link to business drivers
• Impossibility to ensure that changing business assumptions were reflected in budgeting
• The Excel costing model was simplistic and missing key information
PROGRAM GOALS
• Standardize and Optimize the existing processes and systems portfolio for SVC budgeting & reporting
• Enable Actual costing by SKU with Material Ledger implementation in our SAP ECC
• Simplify reporting and variance analysis
• Enable costing simulations and forward looking scenario analysis
• Develop a tool which facilitates the life of all involved parties
SOLUTION OVERVIEW

MANAGEMENT REPORTING
SAP BPC (10.1)
BW / HANA
Our program is composed of 2 projects
• GSVC project focusing on building a standard solution across
PMI for Budgeting and Management Reporting
• Actual Costing project focusing on deploying in our 4 regional
SAP systems a standard solution (Material Ledger) to enable
Management Reporting

ACHIEVED RESULTS
• GSVC is now used in 42 Production Centers worldwide
• Around 7’000 SKU were successfully budgeted between August to November 2015
• Several millions of calculations steps are effectively processed during budgeting
• Budget cycle can now be performed in 2 months instead of 6 month previously
• The new solution allows to update most of our assumptions centrally and simulates budget assumption
changes very promptly (i.e. price, currency change….)

KEY LEARNING
• This is a Business Transformation project and Change management is key
• Once end users will understand benefits of the solution/process, they will have a growing appetite for changes
• Have the right partner when you start a transformation project journey with a new solution
• Migration between new SAP versions can be challenging (BPC 10.0 vs 10.1, no migration path existed when we did this exercise)
• Never under estimate :
• Data Modeling with a new solution
• Technical challenges and effort for Functional Design Phase
• Follow SAP guidelines/Best Practices for Modelling, Data integration/Staging, Security and Reporting
DIGITALIZATION – WHAT ARE THE IMPACTS TO PMI ?
• We started the Finance Transformation journey by being the first team using SAP HANA technology in PMI
• Without having SAP BCP 10.1 on HANA our achievements would have been difficult
• Digitization has a strong impact on how we act and interact and work together on costing processes
• We are moving from Excel/standalone files to collaborative business communities/functions
• We brought together transactional records and analytics onto one platform
