With a new optimized technical solution for processing manufactured tires on pallets from MES, there is now more control between MES and
SAP EW
M. This involved replacing a large part of customization with standard SAP functionality after going live at Apollo Vredestein.
With a steerable and controllable interface, improved Material Requirement Planning (MRP) has been achieved. As a result, the biggest advantage for Apollo Vredestein is visibility and availability of inventory.
Benefits
Through the new SAP Process Integration (PI) interface between the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and SAP ERP, now:
- Inbound deliveries booked directly into SAP Extended Warehouse Management
- Production orders created from plan orders
- Consumption is charged off based on real-time data from the MES system
- Production orders automatically confirmed
