Technological solutions have become increasingly crucial for optimizing production planning. Meta IT, known for its commitment to innovation and efficiency, introduces S&OP – Production Planning, a side-by-side solution to enhance production planning in SAP S/4HANA.

What is production planning in SAP?

The SAP production planning module integrates seamlessly with various business functions, from procurement to inventory management, ensuring a cohesive approach. Through real-time data analysis, it enables agile decision-making, identifies potential bottlenecks, and facilitates proactive problem-solving. This holistic solution contributes to a responsive and adaptive production environment, aligning with industry best practices and fostering continuous improvement in manufacturing processes.

How can Meta IT’s S&OP – Production Planning accelerate your production planning in SAP S/4HANA?

Meta’s S&OP – Production Planning is an application suite designed to assist companies in managing short and medium-term production planning, supporting unexpected changes in the supply chain, and avoiding the bullwhip effect on factory floor operations. With it, you can keep your ERP’s digital core development-free!

How does our production planning application package work in SAP?

Meta’s S&OP – Production Planning functions as an extension of the SAP system in the cloud on the SAP Business Technology Platform, providing additional features that allow businesses to further optimize their production planning. It includes tools for demand analysis, capacity planning, production scheduling, and more.

S&OP Benefits – Production Planning

The S&OP – Production Planning brings several benefits to companies using SAP S/4HANA, including:

  1. Simplified Production Plan Management:
    Manage demand plans and planned production orders with efficiency dashboards for overall factory planning, including analyzing the relationship between expected and actual losses during the process.

  3. Leveraging SAP Best Practices:
    Developed on the SAP Business Technology Platform, the solution is an extension of SAP S/4HANA that can be used alongside SAP IBP for short and medium-term planning, generating independent needs in SAP and sequencing daily production orders.
  4. Real-time Operational Planning Reports:
    Monitor the end-to-end flow of your planned order process, track the conversion into production orders, and analyze compliance with the plan directly from the factory floor.
  5. Reuse of Previous Plan Data:
