Level II Training

Planning is probably the most complex of the SAP Logistics modules. Planning in SAP is just as good as it is implemented. No wonder, many clients think that the planning tools provided by SAP does not meet their requirement. This training will make you totally confident on the common SAP planning tools

Materials Requirement Planning is the most common planning tool in SAP. Strangely, some clients think it is just too complex for them! We’ll make it a daily cup of tea for us!!!

Samples may not generate any revenue by itself, but is the seed for future business. But samples planning need not be too complicated as everyone thinks!

The client may demand different calendars for their planning.

Consumption Based Planning comes in very handy in many scenarios even for critical components.

Planning Strategies is one thing that can drive you crazy. So, we will start from the basics and discuss some of the complex requirements you might come across.

Loading of the Forecast may not too complex but cleaning it up may be!

We’ll make Scheduling and Availability checks a no-brainer.

Multi-plant Planning is a very common scenario in many implementations. We’ll make sure that we’ll get it right.

Sub-contracting is also carried out by many clients in some way or the other. We’ll interface with purchasing to see how well SAP interfaces with the other modules.

This is production data! Do not mess with it!! We’ll hear this many times in our career. But we will find out a way to mess with production data without screwing up anything for the benefit of our clients!! .

And the Reports the client will demand out of SAP can be the most challenging. Finally we’ll also have some overview of the manufacturing part of SAP.

We’ll cover all this & much more in our “Production Planning – Real time scenarios”.

Meetings…meetings…Non stop meetings…Blueprint Phase is generally the most important (& boring) part of the project!

If you do not do sufficient prototyping during this phase, you will be talking in the air and the client can only hope that the implementation will go on well…

Even worse, you might not be able to make the system work in the way, you had believed it would, by (mis) understanding the SAP help documentation!! And mid-way into the realization phase, you will be forced to re-design your solution.

We will avoid this scenario, once and for all!

This training on “Real time Project Scenario’s for Production Planning” will replicate a blue-print phase of a project. The Shoubii Consultants will play the dual role of the client Business Manager as well as a Solution Architect of a project.

The Business Manager will explain the actual business scenarios. Then we will get into some discussion to understand the requirement. Finally the Solution Architect will give a direction on how it has to be mapped in SAP.

As future SAP consultants, you are expected to design it and present it to the team! Can you see your SAP Dreams come true, already?

PC Manufacturing Client (Singapore / Australia)

This was one of the world’s largest PC manufacturing clients. Raj handled multiple projects at the same time in the areas of Logistics & Production Planning.

Semi-conductor Client (China)

Raj was the project manager of this project, which was executed from 5 different countries. The team was also very young. Nevertheless, the result was “Zero Priority 1 Go Live Issue”

Supply Chain Client (California, USA)

Consultants were working in the Blueprint phase for 4 months. The client was reluctant to move to the next phase, due to lack of confidence. Realization phase kicked off in 2 weeks after Raj joined the project.

Chemical Client (South Carolina, USA)

Raj took over as the consultant just a few months before the Go Live. All unresolved scenarios were handled with ease; CRP was implemented in a week’s time – Result: One of the smoothest Go Live.

Textile Client (South Carolina, USA)

“A thousand different materials are produced in one production run. Each day, it could be a totally different thousand materials” – You don’t get such requirements everyday; but you have to be highly experienced to solve this.

Raj, a SAP Certified SCM Consultant & a Project Management Professional has over 15 years of experience in the manufacturing Industries and implementing SAP solutions for Manufacturing Industries. Some of Raj’s SAP projects are highlighted below...
