Day 5

Performance Optimization and Industry 4.0 Integration

The SAP PP: Production Planning and Manufacturing Integration training course begins with the structure and core functions of production planning, including its connections with materials management, sales and distribution, controlling, quality management and plant maintenance. It then examines the principal organisational elements and master data that support manufacturing, covering material masters, bills of material, work centres, routings and production versions. The agenda progresses to demand management and planning strategies, including planned independent requirements, make-to-stock and make-to-order scenarios, before addressing material requirements planning, scheduling and capacity requirements.

The course then follows the production process from planned orders through conversion, creation and release of production orders, together with material availability checks, goods issues, confirmations, goods receipts and order completion. Capacity planning and production scheduling are considered alongside the monitoring and control of manufacturing execution. The concluding topics broaden the scope to repetitive and process manufacturing, integration with quality, maintenance and related logistical processes, and the treatment of production costs and settlement. The agenda closes with production reporting, information systems and analysis of manufacturing performance.
