MTU Aero Engines | COORDINATED PLANNING PROCESSES WITH SAP APO
An integrated SAP APO and SAP ERP solution for optimized production planning
CONSILIO supported the implementation project by designing the business blueprint, creating the IT concept and programming the extended planning functionality.
The Challenges
A fundamental success factor for the aviation industry is the ability to optimally coordinate procurement and production plans as well as capacity offers in the face of strongly fluctuating market requirements. This requires planning and simulation functionalities that support the central coordination of purchasing, production and sales processes.
Thanks to the consulting competence of CONSILIO employees and the extended planning and simulation functionalities of PP/DS, we have company-wide coordinated, smoothed and feasible production programs. Reliable production, procurement and delivery dates mean that safety stocks and safety times are significantly less required. In conjunction with the smoothed capacity utilization, average throughput times can also be reduced.
