Addressing critical efficiency and integration challenges in materials and production management at a German company

The challenge

  1. Inefficient warehousing and materials management, resulting in high costs and material shortages at the same time.

  2. Lack of adaptation of the SAP system to specific requirements of the consumer goods market and to modern data analysis and reporting needs.

The answer

  1. SAP MM was introduced to optimize warehousing and materials management, this supports all aspects of materials management (planning, procurement, storage and control).

  2. SAP PP was implemented to improve production planning and control. This enables detailed production planning, efficient capacity planning and minimization of production costs.

  3. Training and change management workshops were offered to familiarize employees with S/4HANA and the Fiori user interface.
