The case in detail
The production planning project for the industrial pump sector was created to offer highly innovative tools for even more efficient, accurate and timely management of variant production at a leading company in this sector.
Graphical process analysis
The project includes a production plan displayed on a GANTT chart, a valuable aid in managing and controlling operations. A timeline chart makes it possible to constantly monitor available resources and how they are allocated.
Monitoring and accurately forecasting delivery dates is also essential for the most efficient planning of production activities, ensuring repeatable, timely delivery of finished products.
Support tools for industrial process operators
Operators working on production have a support tool, with agendas and work instructions, to make the best use of their time. The work carried out by the operator can also be recorded automatically or manually, for greater transparency and control at every stage of production.
Activity reporting
The system also records activities in dedicated worksheets, stores process documentation, and can simulate production plans to check for delivery delays, drawing on classified historical data. This data can be used by business reporting tools such as SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC).
SAP integration
The project integrates with the relevant SAP modules, including SAP MM, SAP PP and SAP SD, to constantly monitor all production-related activities, from the purchase of raw materials to the delivery of the finished product.
The system is fully compatible with the SAP BTP platform, through SAP UI5 / oData web service. This integration greatly simplifies the production process and makes it fully digital.
The system’s main features include the automatic creation of production plans from SAP sales orders, automatic updating of goods receipts and work at suppliers through connectors, milestone management for real-time checks on deadlines, and automatic notification to operators about work start, reminders and schedule changes.
In short, the production planning project for the industrial pump sector is a complete, innovative solution for managing production activities even more efficiently, ensuring timeliness, accuracy and full control of every stage of the process.
