Pfleiderer | Efficient sales, capacity and production planning
Implementation of SAP ERP and SAP APO based on the industry solution Discrete Industries and Mill Products
A complete overview of all inventories, supplier relationships and customer requirements: This is essential for all manufacturing companies to be able to react quickly to changes. Detailed information for production planning ensures that the production program is implemented optimally. For this reason, Pfleiderer, one of the world's leading manufacturers of wood-based materials, decided to replace its legacy system with the integrated software system from SAP. The result: higher delivery reliability despite significantly lower inventory, as well as more reliable planning and increased flexibility.
