Digital Pull System | Material flow Operations

Manufacturing in the digital world requires materials flow leaders to have a continuous flow of components, parts, materials, and hawk-eye visibility over operational outcomes. As soon as an order is initiated, you need the right materials to reach the right person, when they need it, where they need it. However, off-the-shelf S/4HANA enabled material and inventory management packages are restrictive in achieving these goals.

How can you best leverage your SAP investments to create this common operational picture (COP), all while minimizing the support cost of third-party integrations into your ERP?

Typical shop-floor materials flow management challenges with SAP ERP:

Decentralized view and extra steps to initiate Kanban requests

Inability to support ‘hot part’ requests and resultant communication and material lags

No root cause or corrective action assigned to non-standard “hot part” requests

Lack of streamlined logistics operator interface for simplified user experience

Fragmented data access needing in-depth knowledge to troubleshoot & investigate issues

Distributed and inaccessible operator work instructions for kitting and sequence
