MRP Areas

Martin Preiß — Fri, 20 Nov 2020 09:37:00 +0000

I was project leader at SAP AG for development of the MRP Area functionality.

MRP Areas have a wide range of use cases where planning below plant level is needed. MRP Areas are always active in S/4HANA

I can help you to evaluate MRP Areas usage for your processes and support you with implementing their usage in your current ERP system or for your S4/HANA project.

Or do you have own plant-related customer developments for Planning or Logistics and want to find out if (and how) they have to be enhanced to work with MRP Areas? I’m perfectly skilled to help you with evaluation and implementation because of my extensive process knowledge and deep technical expertise for MRP Areas.

Kanban

Martin Preiß — Fri, 13 Nov 2020 13:45:00 +0000

SAP Kanban (PP-KAB) is still underused. You can use Kanban systematically as part of a comprehensive Lean Manufacturing methodology. You can also use it, e.g. the event-driven Kanban, as flexible pragmatic tool to simplify repetitive procurement processes.

I was in touch with the Kanban functionality at SAP AG from the beginning and later responsible for it as Development Manager.

Martin Preiß — Wed, 11 Nov 2020 15:28:04 +0000

This also included development of the BAPI, BAdI and API for MRP run, MD04 and demand planning. So I have uniquely deep technical and application knowledge about these topics.

I’m looking forward to your questions about enhancement possibilities and interfaces for MRP, demand planning and PP in general.

Coverage, safety time, buffers

Martin Preiß — Sun, 08 Nov 2020 09:25:43 +0000

The right mix of safety stocks, safety times and coverage profiles combined with systematic monitoring of actual coverages is essential for order fulfillment, storage costs and planning flexibility.

I can help you to find suitable settings and procedures based on my profound knowledge of the MRP logic (after all I developed a lot of it myself) and many years of experience with processes in many industries.

Long Term Planning

This frequently used functionality not only allows to evaluate the effects of different long term demand planning versions but also to do short or medium term simulation of planning scenarios.
