Creating the future-ready Takeda
Creating the future-ready Takeda
The world is changing fast. To strengthen our agility in delivering for patients at speed and scale, we launched Takami, a multi-year transformation to redesign and standardize end-to-end business processes across Takeda while establishing SAP S/4HANA as our global digital core. By harmonizing processes and integrating enterprise data, we are creating the foundation for AI-enabled operations, faster decision-making and greater productivity across the company.
Building our digital backbone
Over the next few years, Takami will connect manufacturing, supply chain, finance, commercial operations and plasma-derived therapies (PDTs) activities through simplified, standardized end-to-end processes. Takami is also creating the trusted data foundation required to scale AI across Takeda, enabling more accurate forecasting, intelligent automation, real-time insights and improved decision-making across the enterprise.
"Takami is establishing the digital foundation for the next era of Takeda. By redesigning end-to-end processes, harmonizing enterprise data and enabling AI at scale, we can improve productivity, accelerate decision-making and focus more of our resources on delivering better outcomes for patients."
Empowering us to achieve our purpose
By redesigning processes, harmonizing data and leveraging AI-enabled insights, Takami is helping teams across the business to operate more efficiently and deliver for patients faster.
Plasma Production: More accurate, AI-supported forecasting will increase supply reliability and reduce inventory.
Procurement: Enhanced spend visibility and predictive analytics will improve purchasing effectiveness and cost control.
Supply Chain: Integrated data and intelligent planning capabilities will improve coordination, responsiveness and resilience.
Quality: A single digital view combined with AI-assisted insights improves traceability and accelerates batch release.
Manufacturing: Better asset visibility and maintenance planning will reduce downtime and costs.
Finance: Automated accounting and harmonized processes will enable faster, more reliable reporting.
Sustainability: Greater data quality and transparency will help improve energy and resource efficiency.
Spotlight on R&D: Delivering for patients faster
Our transformation also extends into our R&D labs. This includes reimagining our relationship to data through an AI-forward transformation of our ecosystem, technology and capabilities. By redefining how we work with data, we will be able to better prioritize and accelerate our asset pipeline, reduce cycle time and deliver more investigational new drug applications faster.
Across Takeda, we are investing in transformation to enable speed of execution, build capabilities to strengthen competitiveness and further the adoption of advanced technologies to help accelerate our impact for patients – now and in the future.
