Our long-standing successful relationship with Luxottica Retail that has evolved over the years is
highlighted below from inception since 2008. SEAL is very proud of being the strategic partner of choice
with Luxottica Retail.
Luxottica would like to consolidate all its lab optical manufacturing processes from AFS1 into AFS2. In
addition, certain business units will also be moving out of AFS2 and into the FMS system. This includes
Pearle Franchise billing and also the billing for re-makes within the Dispensing Model. Pearle Franchise
and the Dispensing Model will be moved into FMS with fulfillment remaining in AFS1.
SEAL will be responsible for delivering comprehensive Blue Print document set in accordance with
Luxottica best practices and standards:
Updated BPML & BPRD list
List of RICEFs with process gap and business requirement
Finalize Project Plan for Implementation
SEAL will leverage the most recent version of the Luxottica Retails BPML and BPRD list to identify and
conduct the business requirements work-shops with RxO SMEs.
Apart from SAP functional and technical resources required for above deliverables, SEAL will provide
coverage for resources as mentioned below for this implementation.
Project Management
Testing and Cutover Management
Below mentioned activities will be considered as out of scope for this proposal.
Any changes to PLM, POS, or any other non-SAP or legacy systems
Any changes to PI, RPAS, LRA, Data Services, or Netezza
Any Basis or Security work
SEAL suggests for a water-fall approach for delivery with 8 key phases to the project. Below mentioned
are the phases and duration.
On-Boarding and Blue Print 2nd January, 2017 9th March, 2017
Build and Unit Test 12th March, 2017 20th April, 2017
Hyper Care and Triage Transition 9th July, 2017 31st August, 2017
Below mentioned are high-level suggested activities by phase for RxO project.
2.3. Approach
SEAL suggests a collaborative approach involving both Luxottica and SEAL resources which has proven to
be the most effective project method. It insures close alignment on requirements and design, which
minimizes defects and rework. We will leverage the Luxottica resources availability for key activities such
as requirements finalization, review and sign off on final documents and deliverables.
3. Testing:
All conversion activities completed Finalized hyper care transition plan and exit
criteria
Execute cutover plan
Finalize hyper care transition plan and exit
criteria
Go-live
To achieve desired results from each phase of the project, as mentioned above, we will need dedicated
commitment from Luxottica in various areas as mentioned below.
Steering Committee
o Membership will include individuals with direct business, functional and regional ownership
appropriate to the project phase.
o Membership will have the authority to resolve issues as appropriate.
Project Staffing
o Luxottica positions on the project will be staffed per schedule, with individuals that are skilled
and experienced appropriate to their project role.
Project tools
o Appropriate project execution tools are available, in place and available for the teams use
(e.g. SAP Solution Manager, Project Document Management tools, network &
communications systems).
Issue Resolution
o An appropriate issue resolution & escalation mechanism will be put in place. Issues will be
escalated and resolved in a timely manner per this mechanism.
We will engage Luxottica resources early and often to insure close alignment on requirements and design
to minimize defects and rework. The following high-level RACI chart defines the shared responsibilities
that will make this possible. A review and finalization of these assignments can be completed during
This complete project from Blue Print to Delivery & Support is estimated to run 35 weeks Design to
deployment 27 weeks followed by 8 weeks of hyper-care support. The Finalization of the project schedule
will be developed during the Blue Print phase of the project. The table below represents tentative time
estimates for the main parts of the project. All project scheduling and changes will be mutually agreed
upon before finalizing.
3.2. Resources
Luxottica agrees to provide the following resources for the duration of the project.
Assumption: Luxottica is taking on much of the development effort on this project so it is imperative that
the resources assigned are allowed to focus on the project to meet timelines. SEALs PM must have a
clear and responsive escalation path if issues arise in this area
Assumptions:
Winshuttle conversion resource is provided by Lux. If not, an additional SEAL resource with
Winshuttle experience will be required.
If it is decided to use LRA and BO for reporting, a data services resource will need to be added.
SEAL is providing a fixed bid for consulting services to develop the solution as described in the scope of
work. The combined cost of Blue Print, Deployment and Hyper Care will be $1,030,000 plus expenses.
The resource estimates used to develop this fixed price proposal reflect the scope as mentioned above in
section 2 and our current understanding of the project from previous discussions with Luxottica. New
scope revealed during the Discovery Phase may result in a Change Request if the impact warrants it.
Below mentioned is the breakdown of cost by 5 phases of the project delivery design thru hyper care,
as requested by Luxottica.
Project Phase T&M Cost $
On-Boarding and Blue Print $ 277,600
Build and Unit Test $ 190,800
Testing $ 254,400
Deployment and Go-Live $ 95,400
Hyper Care and Triage Transition $ 211,800
Total Project Cost (T&M Only) $ 1,030,000
Expenses:
In addition to the fixed consulting fee above all travel related expenses (transportation, hotel, meals, and
other out-of-pocket expenses) incurred by our consulting staff during this effort will be billed based on
actual cost, and subject to an overall expense cap as per the MSA. SEAL will comply with the Luxottica
travel and expense policy. We will work with Luxottica to define this as part of contract negotiations.
SEALs approach to Project Management is designed to ensure project objectives are met throughout its
lifecycle.

Project Issue Tracking
SEAL will adhere to the timeline developed by Luxottica Retail for this project, while leveraging the tools
and deliverables of both Luxotticas and SAPs ASAP implementation methodology. SEAL has a proven and
successful record of accomplishment of executing and delivering projects using a Hybrid Model approach
and we will use this model effectively to deliver your project on time and on budget.
SEALs Hybrid Model includes the right combination of team structures at each location, i.e. onsite, offsite
and offshore. A parallel team at the offsite location backs up the onsite team. There is also an elaborate
team structure at the offshore location to execute the project. There is regular two-way communication
and handoff between the onsite and the offshore teams, with the backup team at the offsite location
party to all interactions between onsite and offshore. This ensures smooth coordination between the
onsite and offshore teams and keeps the back-up team at the offsite location up to speed.
The first step of the test planning process of SEALs methodology is the development of the Test Strategy.
The purpose of the Test Strategy is to obtain agreement that the level of testing is commensurate to the
risk posed by the function's criticality and technical complexity of the application release. The team will
create a high-level document that defines test scope and outlines the approach and methods for testing
the application or affected system during a project or release.
After project governance and sponsors approve the Test Strategy, the next step of the methodology is to
develop the necessary Test Plan(s) to ensure alignment with the Test Strategy. In general, a Test Plan is
developed for each Test Type planned for a project and defines the approach and the details of how
testing for a Test Type will be accomplished, including items such as roles and responsibilities, entry and
exit criteria, and measurements to be collected for the Test Type.
SEAL will coordinate that once Test Plans are developed, test case/script development begins. Test
execution of the test cases/scripts occurs according to the test schedule outlined in the Test Strategy and
Test Plan documents and each testing level will follow the proper approval process before moving the
solution to QA for further testing and finally to the production environment. All testing will be completed
manually per the test scripts developed by the project team. For scenarios where actual results do not
match expected results, an issue will be logged in the project test issues database. Ideally, an SAP test
will be conducted within a test environment that closely mirrors the production environment (size and
data wise).
SEAL, through the execution of the Quality Management Plan, will ensure that techniques are built into
the project approach to provide confidence that the quality of the solution satisfies the quality standards
of Luxottica. Quality applies to the entire project. It is the sum of processes, strategies, and techniques
SEAL strongly believes that to meet cost objectives, project scope must be appropriately managed during
all phases of the project. This is particularly important during the requirements gathering phase, as
requirements may appear which do not fall within the scope of this Best Practices effort. If a
requirement is deemed out of scope, it will be documented for possible future implementations.
Sincerely,
Nirat Patel
