Production
Production processes - from planning to implementation
SAP S/4HANA supports production processes from product design and demand planning, through production preparation and execution, to quality control.
Thanks to integration with logistics, purchasing, sales, finance, and controlling, production information is available in a single environment.
What problems do we help solve?
The production plan does not reflect the actual capabilities of the plant.
- We help balance product demand with available production capacity, resources, and work schedules. We facilitate ongoing order scheduling adjustments and reduce downtime.
Materials are not available when production needs them.
- We support planning the demand for raw materials and components and verifying their availability before launching orders. This allows for earlier response to material shortages and supply delays.
There is a lack of up-to-date information about what's happening on the production floor.
- We provide real-time insight into order fulfillment, material consumption, work in progress, and the execution of individual operations. Data can be transferred directly from the production floor, including through integration with MES and WMS systems.
It is difficult to control production and project costs.
- We combine production planning and execution with information on costs, budgets, and resource utilization. This facilitates the comparison of planned and actual costs and faster detection of variances.
Some production is handled by subcontractors or subcontractors.
- We help control the flow of components, work in progress, and the execution of outsourced operations, even when parts of the process take place off-site.
Quality issues are detected too late.
- We support quality control throughout the entire production process – from material inspection, through semi-finished product inspection, to finished goods. Quality information is linked to the ongoing production process.
It is difficult to respond quickly to changes in demand and bottlenecks.
- Ongoing analysis of production data helps identify constraints, deviations, and delays, and respond more quickly to changes in demand. SAP S/4HANA supports various production models, including make-to-stock (MTS), make-to-order (MTO), and engineer-to-order (ETO).
What can be achieved by streamlining production processes?
What can be achieved by streamlining production processes?
Access to up-to-date information on workload, material availability and order fulfillment allows for better production planning and reduced downtime.
Greater cost control
Combining planning, production execution and cost data makes it easier to monitor variances and make decisions based on up-to-date information.
Respond faster to changes
Real-time access to production data allows for faster response to changes in demand, material availability, workstation efficiency, and lead times.
Consistent information across the enterprise
Integrating production with logistics, purchasing, sales, finance and controlling reduces the flow of information between separate systems and spreadsheets and facilitates the management of the entire process.
SAP S/4HANA in the production area
SAP S/4HANA supports the entire production cycle – from product design and creating material structures, through demand planning and scheduling, to order execution, quality control and result analysis.
Designing new products
Create and manage bills of materials (BOMs), their versions, and the information necessary to prepare a product for production. Integration with CAD systems is also possible.
Demand planning
Planning material requirements and responding to changes in demand using data on demand, available inventory, supplies and production capacity.
Production planning and scheduling
Workstation load balancing with available production capacity and order management on a timeline. Ability to check material availability before releasing orders for production.
Production implementation
Processing production orders, confirming operation completion and material consumption, and monitoring work in progress. Integration with MES and WMS systems is possible.
Production with subcontractors
Handling external manufacturing and subcontracting operations, including managing components handed over to contractors and controlling work in progress.
Quality control
Planning and implementing quality control of materials, semi-finished and finished products and recording control results as part of the production process.
Production analytics
Analyzing data on production execution, costs, resource utilization, quality, and efficiency. Information available in a single environment can support ongoing management and reporting.
