The complexity of cutting-edge offer chains can't be mastered with out the help of strong info platforms. SAP has verified itself because the industry chief during this form of IT structures. The e-book describes SCM utilizing a pyramidal framework and relates it to the SAP SCM resolution Map. wanted beneficial properties of IT aid for SCM are formulated, and the level to which SAP structures offer those gains is proven. We describe the functionalities of SAP APO™ intimately, current case experiences on imposing and operating SAP SCM™ structures, and speak about SCM features of the recent SAP enterprise ByDesign™ method.

4. c) Coordinated production and distribution planning. Especially in global supply chains, if products have a short life cycle and distinct seasonal peaks, it is challenging to take into account the restrictions (time and quantity) for the downstream distribution. In this case the production plan is derived from the distribution plan. The theoretical optimum would be achieved by simultaneous planning, but in practice this is too complex in many cases. Cf. 2. , minimal and maximal load, calendardependent capacities.
C) Measures to allow simple transfer and exchange of product-defining data by coordinated application of CAD, PDM, and PLM systems. If incompatible CAD tools are used, some physical Not in scope of SAP SCM™. components may not fit together. Example: Delays in the development of the Airbus Superjumbo A380 are attributed to the use of different releases of the CAD system CATIA. Interoperability problems resulted from using version 4 in German and Spanish plants whereas factories in France and the UK used version 5 (Steinke 2006).
E) Priorities for the use of scarce production resources such as machine tools. Precondition: Alternative bills of materials and routings have been documented in the master data. Cf. D. f) Selection of regional, national, and global transportation facilities. Trade-off between cost, time, and environmental impact of transportation options. Cf. A. g) Consideration of pick-up windows. Pick-up windows determine when customers or carriers are allowed to pick up products at the suppliers’ site. They are an important restriction for transportation planning.
