Abstract

The case “Levi’s Adopting Robotic Process Automation to Liberate itself from Manual Work” describes the efforts of US-based clothing company Levi Strauss & Co. to adopt Robotic Process Automation (RPA) as part of its endeavor to bring about a digital transformation. The case provides detailed information on the implementation and benefits of its first two proofs-of-concept bots. Levi’s was able to save nearly 500 hours of manual work with the installation of the first PoC bot and the second PoC bot was able to do the work that five people did for several hours over multiple days, saving nearly 750 hours of manual labor. The case also provides a glimpse into other key initiatives implemented by Levi’s as part of its digital transformation. In addition, the case also talks about the future of RPA at Levi’s, including the implementation of a new bot called Purchase Order Closure Bot, in 2022. Will Levi’s huge investment in RPA pay off? What would be the long-term repercussions of the use of RPA in the clothing industry?
