SAP PP (PRODUCTION PLANNING)
SAP PP (Production Planning) is a module of the SAP ERP system that helps companies to efficiently plan, control and monitor their production processes. It is particularly useful in industries that rely on precise and effective production planning, such as the manufacturing and automotive industries.
WHY SAP PP
Transparency and control
FUNCTIONS OF SAP PP
Effective production planning
The module offers functions for planning production processes, including the creation of production orders and the allocation of resources. This includes both long-term planning and detailed production planning.
SAP PP is closely integrated with other SAP modules such as SAP MM (Material Management), SAP SD (Sales and Distribution) and SAP QM (Quality Management). This integration enables a smooth flow of information and seamless collaboration between the various business areas.
When to
switch to SAP PP?
The implementation of SAP PP can be particularly beneficial for companies in various scenarios and under certain conditions. Here are some important factors and situations that indicate that the use of SAP PP could make sense:
High complexity of production processes
Companies with multi-stage production processes that need to coordinate different materials, machines and labour benefit considerably from SAP PP. The module helps to efficiently plan and synchronise the various production stages.
High production volumes
Companies that manufacture large quantities of products require precise planning in order to avoid production bottlenecks and ensure continuous production. SAP PP supports material requirements planning and capacity planning to keep production running smoothly.
Just-in-time production
SAP PP is ideal for companies that work according to the just-in-time (JIT) principle, as it enables the precise planning of material flows and production times. The module ensures that materials are available exactly when they are needed in production, which reduces storage costs and increases efficiency.
Relocation or adjustment of production
If a company frequently changes its production lines or processes, for example to respond to customer requests or introduce new products, SAP PP can provide the necessary flexibility. It enables production plans and resources to be adapted quickly.
IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES
How is SAP PP implemented?
Greenfield approach:
Here, a new system is built from the ground up. This offers the opportunity to redesign and optimise business processes from scratch.
Brownfield approach:
A system conversion in which the existing SAP system is migrated to SAP PP.
Hybrid approach:
A combination of greenfield and brownfield, in which certain processes or modules are newly implemented and others are migrated.
