Production Management

SAP ERP production management supports production and manufacturing management in different industries, covering major functions such as product and production master data management, demand management, material requirement planning (MRP), production planning, production control, production execution and production quality management. At the same time, production management is closely integrated with business processes and functions such as sales management, procurement management, financial management, supply chain management, and quality management, providing real-time cost analysis and business insights in the production management process, helping enterprises improve production performance, reduce costs, and achieve sustainable development.
In SAP ERP, production management includes production engineering master data, production planning, manufacturing process, manufacturing options, production quality management, environment, health and safety, manufacturing analysis and many other business scenarios. The main functions are summarized as follows:

Production Engineering Master Data

Production engineering master data includes manufacturing definition, product structure, production process master data, etc.

Production Planning

Production planning refers to everything from demand management, creating planned independent requirements to material requirement planning for the planned factory.

Production Control

Production control includes converting planned orders into production orders, monitoring material availability days, checking material coverage, etc.

Production Execution

Production execution includes detailed production execution processes such as order creation, availability check, material preparation for production orders, issuing production orders, picking production order components, confirming production orders, material backflushing, posting goods movement, etc.

Manufacturing options

Manufacturing options include discrete manufacturing, process manufacturing, repetitive manufacturing, project manufacturing, outsourced manufacturing, just-in-time production, Kanban manufacturing, and more.

Manufacturing Analysis

Manufacturing analytics include production planning insights, production execution insights, and production cost analysis insights.

Increase flexibility in production management

SAP ERP production management has powerful functions and flexibility

Adjustable production process

1) Establish a production process with multiple stages (e.g., component assembly, finished product assembly).

2) Support different manufacturing methods and use them in combination (such as make-to-stock, make-to-order, assemble-to-order, etc.).

Supports all types of manufacturing processes

Supports all types of manufacturing processes, including discrete manufacturing, repetitive manufacturing, kanban manufacturing, just-in-time manufacturing, and process manufacturing.

Seamless production execution and monitoring

1) Issue and confirm production orders, and monitor production status in real time.

2) Capture production data during the production process for detailed analysis.

Tightly integrated workshop solutions

Leverage integration with SAP digital manufacturing cloud (DMC) to provide 3D work instructions to shop floor employees

Fully integrated quality management

1) Leverage tight integration with quality management in multiple parts of the production process (e.g., receiving components or production goods receipt).

2) Ensure that products meet quality requirements through overall solutions (including quality planning, inspection and improvement).

3) Use advanced methods (such as 8D) to solve internal problems.

Seamless warehouse integration

1) Take advantage of tight integration with warehouse management for efficient material stocking.

2) Receive products directly into the warehouse using synchronized goods receipt postings that are tightly integrated with warehouse management.

3) Leverage efficient replenishment procedures, such as out-of-the-box Kanban, for rapid replenishment.

4) Use IoT-based Kanban replenishment to improve process automation.

Key Benefits

Simplify functionality

1) Optimize and expand digital enterprise collaboration to simplify product planning, change management and operational processes

2) Integrate scheduling and execution to gain a unified view of inventory and product data, reducing inventory days

Improve adaptability

1) Minimize production disruptions caused by changing process routings, work instructions, and production orders, and ensure consistency with shop floor execution

2) Quickly adjust production plans according to the current situation of the factory to shorten the manufacturing cycle

Enhanced planning capabilities

1) Simplify the creation, planning and shop floor operations of manufacturing build packs in global production environments

2) Increase flexibility through quick-response production planning scenarios, thereby reducing revenue losses due to stock-outs
