Machinery, equipment and components

SAP for industrial manufacturing.

Industrial manufacturers need sustainable, digitised operations that raise productivity, cut cost and build resilience, for both make-to-stock and configure-to-order business. Many have limited control and automation on the shop floor, poor use of their data, factories that are not connected, and inefficiencies that disrupt schedules, inventory and global production. We address this with SAP S/4HANA on SAP Cloud ERP or SAP Cloud ERP, Private, SAP Digital Manufacturing and SAP Sustainability Control Tower, enabling paperless, fully traceable production, faster environmental footprinting and continuous improvement through better visibility and automation.

The challenge

What holds industrial manufacturing and components companies back

  • Manufacturing operations cannot be controlled, monitored or automated well enough to protect schedules.
  • Data is under-used, so processes stay disconnected and performance suffers.
  • The shop floor is not integrated with the business, which hides constraints and creates inefficiency.
  • Weak management of production execution disrupts global production, cost and inventory.
  • Engineer-to-order and configure-to-order work stalls on design changes and slow re-planning.

Questions

SAP for industrial manufacturing and components, answered.

What does SAP Digital Manufacturing add to S/4HANA?
It connects the shop floor to the business: it executes and monitors production orders, collects machine and quality data, and gives real-time visibility, so planning in S/4HANA and execution on the floor stay in step.
Can SAP support both make-to-stock and configure-to-order?
Yes. S/4HANA supports make-to-stock, make-to-order and configure-to-order with variant configuration, so one system covers standard products and configured equipment.
How does SAP help with sustainability reporting?
SAP Sustainability Control Tower and footprint management use data already in SAP to calculate and report environmental footprints, so sustainability becomes part of everyday decisions.
