Specific use cases of operational supply chain network planning

Planning complex network relations: When SAP reaches its limits

SAP ERP provides a bundle of basic transactions, e.g. for creating stock transfer orders or subcontract orders, managing freight forwarders, invoicing of activities, posting goods movements etc. However, the system may not be described as a planning/simulation tool to manage such complex network relations.

Planning operational supply chain networks with ORSOFT Manufacturing Workbench

ORSOFT Manufacturing Workbench is an advanced planning and scheduling (APS) system that is designed as an add-on to SAP ERP or S/4HANA. This tool exclusively uses master data and transactional data extracted from the central ERP. With its complementing planning algorithms for supply chain networks, the software qualifies itself as a valuable tool for supply chain managers:

Transparent overview of the current situation of multisite factories
Monetary evaluation of the networking capital
Consideration of transport routes and costs
Planning of limited capacities including sub contracting
Consideration of stock- and requirement information of customers/suppliers within vendor managed inventory (VMI)
