Target groups:

• Industrial enterprises with SAP ERP ECC 6.0, SAP R/3 R4.6b/c
• Use of single / all modules PP, PS, APO, PM, IM, HR, ME, MII

Challenge:

SAP ECC 6.0 already includes many important functions. Challenges arise when using PP / APO:

• no finite scheduling, dynamic bottleneck identification and automatic capacitance compensation
• Capacitive available-to-promise (ATP) statements due to the performance
• no support for set-up optimization
• intuitive operation and simulation in the control centre is not supported

Many SAP users are faced with the following challenges:

• they manage with long / fixed idle periods due to the timing of infinite capacity in PP,
• you lose in the MRP run, the relationship between demands and replenishments,
• you report with the developed SAP feedback dialogues and thus has functional limitations and high license costs,
• it lacks real-time data from the production for a correct companion / costing and what-if-simulations in real time.
