Abstract

PT Eco Smart Garment Indonesia (PT ESGI) is a garmentmanufacturing company that has implemented anEnterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system based on SAP(System Applications and Products). However, the processof generating sample shipment documents within theShipping Department still faces inefficiencies due torepetitive manual procedures and data redundancy.Administrative staff must perform manual data entry,resulting in a cycle time of 30–40 minutes per shipment anda human error rate of 10–15% per cycle. This study aims todesign a semi-automation blueprint for sample shipmentdocuments within SAP using the Enterprise ArchitecturePlanning (EAP) approach to enhance the efficiency andaccuracy of the shipment administration process. Theresearch methodology follows Spewak’s EAP framework,encompassing an analysis of the existing state, a gapanalysis, data architecture design using Entity RelationshipDiagrams (ERD), and application architecture design in theform of an integrated DHL Report within SAP. The researchyields a semi-automation blueprint featuring an integrateddata architecture based on the "single source of truth"principle, a system architecture comprising an SAP DHLReport add on, and a new workflow that eliminatesredundant manual activities. Implementing this blueprint isprojected to reduce document generation cycle time from30–40 minutes to 15–20 minutes per shipment, minimizehuman error to near-zero levels, and eliminate the need forintermediate Excel files. This study contributes to thedevelopment of information system architectureframeworks within the garment manufacturing sector andserves as a strategic guide for the company’s digital transformation toward more efficient and integratedbusiness processes.
