SCM industry solution Mill

SCM’s industrial solution for the milling industry enables attribute-based planning across the entire supply chain – ensuring transparent processes, feasible production plans and optimal coordination of capacities, materials and constraints.

Supply chain planning for the mill industry

Due to product configuration in the material master or during order entry, characteristics-based MRP is required in the mill industry. Product characteristics of finished goods are passed on to the preceding production stages and, where necessary, derived using dependency rules. Our S/4HANA solution for characteristics-dependent planning (CDP) enables characteristics to be included in or excluded from planning via Customizing, should they not be taken into account due to customer-specific requirements.

SCM industry solution for feature-based planning:

Uniform and transparent planning philosophy across the entire supply chain
Analysis of business processes and key figures, optimization based on SAP standard software
Integration of feature-based planning into the embedded PP/DS in S/4HANA
Generation of feasible production plans taking into account capacities and restrictions

Configuration and, if necessary, exclusion of characteristics from planning if these are not to be taken into account due to customer-specific requirements
Predefined settings for master data, for characteristic-based user and planning profiles and preconfigured planning run

Rely on the right solution. Your advantages:

feasible production plans taking into account capacity and material availability as well as technical restrictions
Integrated, feature-based planning
Modification-free resource and detailed planning board extended by characteristic data for interactive planning
Increased adherence to schedules through early procurement, production and notification of the planner in case of exceptions

Increased productivity through setup optimization and continuous plant utilization
Reduced throughput times and inventories
Increased transparency through integrated, comprehensive processes
Avoidance of manual input errors through consistent master data

Individual, stock or customer-related production based on characteristics, a high proportion of customer-specific requirements, small lots and configurable materials and configured preliminary stages, but which are handled by stock or collective requirements planning
