Our nomination highlights the innovative strides made in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and supply chain optimization within the medical device industry. Spearheaded by the ERP Operations team at Alcon, a global leader in eye care, this initiative reflects a significant leap in transforming legacy systems and fragmented supply chain processes into a fully integrated, agile, and data-driven digital ecosystem.
Under the leadership of Prabhakar Vagvala, Head of ERP Operations, the team executed a strategic transformation roadmap that leveraged cutting-edge technologies including SAP S/4HANA, advanced analytics, AI-driven forecasting, and robotic process automation (RPA). The result was an optimized supply chain that improved demand visibility, reduced lead times, and enhanced operational efficiency—all while meeting the strict regulatory and quality standards of the medical device sector.
This transformation not only enabled better responsiveness to global market demands but also laid a strong foundation for scalability, sustainability, and continuous innovation. The team’s work stands as a benchmark in leveraging technology innovation to drive business value and improve patient outcomes.
