About the service
SAP Production Planning (PP/DS)
SAP PP/DS is a tool for detailed production planning and scheduling. Integration with SAP S/4HANA and resource optimization shorten lead times and improve on-time delivery.
Benefits
Service benefits
Shorter lead times
Higher on-time delivery performance
Bottleneck optimization
Reduced inventory costs
SAP PP/DS capabilities
Material planning combined with precise scheduling.
Planning and automation
- Planning automation - fast generation of procurement proposals
- Multi-level planning - full visibility into dependencies between orders
Scheduling
- Finite scheduling - planning that accounts for actual resource constraints
- Planning board - interactive management with a clear Gantt chart
- Setup optimization - reduced machine changeover costs
Monitoring and simulation
- Alert Monitor - quick detection of critical situations in the plan
- Planning simulations - testing scenarios without affecting the ERP system
Pegging and integration
- Pegging function - dynamic matching of stock to business needs
- Data consistency - unified order, stock, and resource data in SAP S/4HANA
Implementation
We implement SAP PP/DS in stages - from analyzing planning processes and master data, through configuring heuristics and optimizers, to a pilot and expansion to further areas. This approach limits risk and quickly delivers value.
Analysis
We analyze production planning processes, master data, and resource constraints to define the scope of the PP/DS implementation.
Configuration
We configure planning models, heuristics, and optimizers tailored to your manufacturing processes.
Integration
We integrate PP/DS with SAP S/4HANA, ensuring consistent order, stock, and resource data.
Pilot
We launch the solution in a selected production area, verify plans, and fine-tune parameters using real data.
Rollout
We roll out SAP PP/DS to further lines and plants and support teams in detailed production planning.
Digital Supply Chain
What is DSC?
Digital Supply Chain is an integrated ecosystem of processes, systems and technologies that enables intelligent planning, execution and real-time monitoring of the flow of materials, goods and data.
By leveraging solutions such as SAP S/4HANA, EWM, TM, IBP and integrations with automation, IoT and artificial intelligence, Digital Supply Chain enables companies to increase operational flexibility, respond faster to market changes and improve the efficiency of the entire supply chain - from planning through to delivery.
