Automile industry process?

hi friends,
i have a interview tomorrow for a automobile client, what are the automobile industry specific processes. something that is different in automotive industry as compared to other industries.
please help
sk

hi
Along with IS AUTOMOTIVE we activate VMS (Vehical Managment System) and also the biggest part of Is Automotive is DBM (Delear Business Managment)
There are about 17 STD scenarios in Automobile Industry which differes for OEM's, Service and Sales and Suppliers. The diff processes are
Appointment Scheduling and Workshop Planning
Parts Purchasing
Parts Stock Transferring
External Service Procurement
Customer Management
Used-Vehicle Purchasing
New Vehicle Sales with Down Payment
New Vehicle Sales with Cross Plant Stock Transfer
New Vehicle Sales with Cross Company Stock Transfer
New Vehicle Sales from Showroom
Vehicle Service and Recalls
Parts Cash Sales and Returns
Order Cancellation with Fast Order Entry
Customer Management
Vehicle Sales and Administration
Vehicle Service
Parts Management
Along with IS Automotive there is SAP IS Automotive DBM (Delear Business managment)
Not aware what is exctly your client process but as being in IS Automotive the most Important part is Service Managment, Warranty Claims
If your client is also in to vehical Leasioning then it may come to Leasining,Contracts, Mileage, Time Managment for service
Please check the link for further details

Pharmaceutical Industry Process KPI's

Hi,
As a part of my work, I am conducting research on Pharma Industry processes with a view to align IT(ERP) with business.
In this regard, it would be great if some one could lead me to find good overview of the Pharma processes (such as Clinical Trial management, Compliance management), their work flow diagrams and their associated KPI's.
Thank You!
LK

Hi, LK.
Speaking of KPIs in practice for pharmaceutical industry, [www.*************|www.*************] may be a good resource for you. It's a catalogue of performance reports that illustrate the use of KPIs.
Examples of such reports for information security are available on: [KPIs in practice - healthcare|http://www.*************/kpi_examples_in_practice/industries/healthcare/]
They include examples from:
Teva Pharmaceutical
Johnson & Johnson
In addition to examples of performance measures, [www.*************|www.*************] also contains a user friendly library of well-documented performance measures. At the moment it lists over 3200 KPI examples, grouped in 73 functional areas, as well as 83 industries and sub-categories.
KPI examples for Pharmaceutical industry are available on this page: [KPI examples - Healthcare|http://www.*************/kpi/industries/healthcare/]
The website is updated daily with new content, so check it from time to time for additional content.
Please note that while examples of performance measures are useful to inform decisions, each performance measure needs to be selected and customized based on the objectives and priorities of each organisation.

Not using Backflush in Industry Process

Hi all,
First of all, I'm using Industry Process.
I wouldn't like to work with Backflush to make the material movements manually later, but I don't get it.
Master Data's:
Material master data: Backflush: "2 - Work Center decides"
Work Center (Resource), the Backflush is not marked
In the Process Order, in the BOM, the flag is not market too
The only strange thing I realised is in the Recipe, the material IS NOT assigned to any operation/phase. But, when I did the Process Order, the systems did an assignment automatically to the first operation. Is when I confirm that operation when the system did automatically the movement.
Anybody knows why is this assignament done? In a process order, the materials have to been allways assigned?
Thank's in advance!!
Roger

Hi,
If the Components are not assigned to any operation in the Recipe, then by default all the coponents will be assigned to the First operation in the Process Order.
If you assign your components to diffrenent operations then only they will be allocated in th Process Order.
This is the Standard behavior.
If your componants are Backflushed automatically evnthough there is no Backflush indicator is maintained in the Material Master..
Then Check the settings in OPK4 (for your Plant and order Type combination)
All Components must have Ticked in the "Generally Valid Settings" Tab page.
Hope this clarifies...
Revert for further discussion.

Siva

Difference Between Production Industry & Process Industry

Hi Freinds,
              Hi have a query. What is the major difference between Production Industry & Process Industry?
I will give you a following example. Please carefully read it.
               Take a example of TATA Motors. We all know it produces automobiles. So we will consider it as a Production Industry. But at the same time it uses the Paint to paint the vehicles is produced by it only. So can we call it as a Process Industry? If yes please explain it.
                I will award deserving points accordingly for every reply.
Thanks & Regards
Saeed Arif

production:- conversion / processing the raw materials to finished products.
differen type of industry:
job type of industry:- this is of mainly MAKE TO ORDER TYPE , suiting the particular customer requirments , after getting the order only you start doing the production
eg:- Turbine mfg by BHEL, Aircrafts and ship buildings etc.
so here your planning and costs change one order.
Repetative mfg or Batch tpe production: here the products wll be made in batches as lots eg 2000no or 5000nos qty as batches ,
here the planning and costing etc will differ from one batches to another.
eg: Automobile , apperal industry. this can be produced by strategies MAKE TO STOCK or by MAKE TO ORDER,
PROCESS INDUSTRY OR CONTINOUS TYPE OF PRODUCTIONS:
in this type of industry the Process remains same (constant) and procucts may with slight variation in composition, in this type of industy almost every thing is mechanised . this type of indstry will have LINE LAY OUT/PRODUCT LAYOUT
ie at one entry all the materials go in one line and processed and at the end of the line you will be getting finished products. the complete line will be controlled by automated sensors by using sopostigated sensors. the only problem here is that in LINE if one macine /station is have break down the complete production will comes to halt as one machine/station output is going to be input for oher staion/machine.
eg: cement, paints , food and beverages etc.
you can seggregate indstry type by materials or by the type of layout(ie mfg line)
so now coming to your doubt : TATA - AUTOMOBILES following hybrid type of laty out ie mfg of automobiles is functional layout , where there is flexibilty of planning , from paint sections on wards it follows line layout ..
so you have to call it is as product industry , intern which have line layout for cetain operations , which pertains to process industry...

Automobile industry process in SD

Hi All,
I am being shifted from telecom project to automobile industry project. The lead asked me to go through and learn the process in automobile industry. If anyone have worked on the same, let me know the different terms and process they use. What are the basic things i should be aware of? Please throw me some light on the same, it will be very helpful.
Thanks all in advance.
Regards
Thenmozhi

You are asking with some simple terminology to provide a detailed explanation.
As you should be aware automobile industry includes car manufacturer and component manufacturers as well and for each of these industry, configuration would differ.
From birds eye view, for car manufacturers, it would be MTO process and for component manufacturers, it would be MTS
thanks

System availability in process industry

Hello
We are a chimical industry (process) and we use R/3 to support the manufacture process (labratory, PP ,QM).
our system protected in HA cluster, and stable. but we know that OFFLINE maintanaces window is needed (for DB upgrade, SAP upgrade and so.) this could be few hours a year...
How do you support your manufacture while SAP is down?

High level process model for a Pulp & Paper Industry

Pulp and paper industry facing IT modernisation needs
Today most pulp and paper industry companies face serious financial challenges to increase return on investment and improve capital utilisation.
Companies are working to improve the efficiency of their supply chains and thereby reduce working capital, increase transaction velocity and improve inventory turnover. Mergers, acquisitions and alliances are reshaping the pulp and paper industry. Although the pulp and paper industry has invested heavily in IT systems, a large variety of old systems is often complex, inflexible in regard to integration and difficult to operate. As they reflect past organisations and business models, the streamlining of business processes is difficult.
Mega trends in the pulp and paper industry IT.
The pulp and paper industry is stepping into a new phase of business evolution driven by consolidation of industry, globalisation and ever-increasing competition. These market drivers are forcing the pulp and paper industry to put a greater focus on cost efficiency. These focuses are creating totally new challenges for the organisation, specifically in the IT area.
IT is increasingly becoming a commodity. This is a result of product standardisation and the popularity of off-the-shelf-products that facilitate the economies of scale. This phenomenon is also supported by increasing utilisation of competence resources in low-cost countries.
Managing change becomes more and more difficult. Very often companies face the need for new changes before they have seen the benefits of the previous ones. The cycle of change is short and the transformation environment becomes very complicated. On the other hand, IT becomes the tool in forcing business changes to happen. Often the only practical way to roll out new processes and practices is through the modernisation of information systems.
Like many other industries, the pulp and paper industry is concentrating on providing digitalised self-services as part of their business development.
Industry background
Since the consolidation and globalisation of the pulp and paper industry, there has been increasing pressure to continuously improve both its internal and external efficiency. In the large pulp and paper mills, production management systems typically consist of several different systems, which might also be from different suppliers. Systems are often isolated islands, which are successful in managing information of their own area but they lack the comprehensive information exploiting and sharing. This has resulted in a complex and inflexible architecture of legacy systems. These legacy systems are expensive to manage and difficult to develop to meet business requirements.
This pressure has led to massive IT investments and a continuous rebuild of the IT environments in order to meet efficiency challenges. Although many pulp and paper mills have invested a lot in building up their business supporting IT, especially Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, the return on investment is often difficult to measure. There is a lot of potential to improve usability of systems by harmonising business processes and integrating the systems more efficiently in order to better support actual business needs.
Most pulp and paper industry companies have thus come to a point where a more radical rebuild and renewal of the entire IT and network environment is required. Fortunately, the conditions for this have improved over the last few years, due largely to an increasing range of commercially available application platforms adopted for the pulp and paper industry, the acceptance of common industry standards, and the evolution of refined integration and migration methods.
Renewing and harmonising the companys operations and IT systems is still, however, a demanding undertaking. Securing continuous operations, while at the same time replacing the core systems and processes, requires a high level of expertise in pulp and paper industry processes and information technology. To complement the in-house competence, the pulp and paper industry will need to establish partnerships with outside solution providers and system integrators. To minimise risks and keep control of business-critical technology, new delivery models will be a necessity.

CTM or optimizer in Pharma Industry

Dear Gurus,
Is CTM or Optimizer usually used in Pharma industry? I understand the reasons behind the selection of SNP solution that if you just need a simple supply planning with capacity levelling, you go for Heuristics, if you need rule based go for CTM and if you need cost optimization, you go for Optimizer.
In your experience, does Pharma industries go for CTM or optimizer? While I understand it's specific to the business model , does the Pharma industry process support the CTM or Optimizer?
Thanks.

Visu,
I shall put forth a different argument based on my experience with one of the pharma company mentioned by Ken and another that is not listed in the discussion so far.
According to my experience Pharma industry is more of Supply-driven rather than Demand-driven.
As a result PPDS pretty much is the most important planning engine where long-term sequence of orders are carried out. Campaign-based planing is pretty much a mandatory requirement in case of API / Active Ingredient manufacturing. To start with SNP is not capable of doing Campaign-based planning. So it does not matter if its CTM or Optimiser. Frankly speaking I find Heuristic much easier to understand and handle.
One Golbal Pharma major uses SNP for long-term planning (that too heuristic) basically to pass the demand from the markets all the way to the API manufacturing plants. Then PPDS is run for a shorter horizon depending on the product level. For APIs the PPDS plan is almost 1 year out - because when you are doing campaign planning each campaign (for a particular API) typically lasts 2-3 months. That means if on a manufacturing line (a complex series of pressure vessels and piping) you need to manufacturing 4 different APIs you will make the same API after 1 year (3 months per campaig x 4 APIs). For Semi-finished products (like forming the tablets) the production process is faster and hence PPDS planning is not done for 1 year out but maybe upto 6 months. As for the final finish and packing lines each Production Run lasts for few days and hence te PPDS plan is say upto 3 months only. Now given these different production levels you need to maintain master data parameters suitably to match PPDS and SNP planning runs.
This client did not use SNP Optimiser or CTM engine in their planning when I was working. Even now I they are not using these engines.
On the other hand another Indian Pharma major started off APO implementation using SNP especially CTM engine and over a period of time as they rolled out more and more of Production Planning at the plants they realised CTM is not serving the purpose. As far as I know they were in process of switching over to PPDS for the production planning and keep CTM only close to the demand side i.e. the Distribution Centers.
Hope this helps.

Process orders and Production order in PP

Hi,
In our case Process orders are used in most of the case ,than production orders. Pls tell wheather Process orders are also pulled by the extractors(PP) and behave similar in all the Standard PP reports. and what is the diffrence between Process orders and Production order??
Regards
Nair

Hi
In PP, you can see Production Planning and Production Planning -Process Industry
Production order is for manufacturing industry
Process order is for process industries where input raw material is processed to arrive at end product.Process order keeps shop floor person aware of processing status.If your client's business have many processes than manufacturing you might come across more processing orders
