Glass Manufacturing and Forming

hi Gurus
Glass Manufacturing and Forming......is it process or discrete?
at which type of industries it lies in SAP (Industry specific package) ?and is there any best practices for Glass Manufacturing and Forming?
thanks alot

Hi,
you could have a look at the sap.com Mill Products page. There is a (not really brand new)  [Solution Briefstory on SCM for glass making|http://www.sap.com/industries/millproducts/pdf/BWP_SB_Supply_Chain_Management_for_Glassmaking.pdf].
Mill Products covers several industries including glass manufacturing. Depending on the product range (flat glass, packaging glass, automotive glass,...) processes can vary significantly.
Fabricated Metals may be a good starting point, but you could also have a look at the Best Practices for Primary Steel, especially when dealing with flat glass supply chain planning & manufacturing which is very similar to steel processes.
Best regards,
Stefan

  • Calendars for manufacturing and finance

    hi,
    we have a situation here in which we have gone live on financials with the calendar having 13 periods, periods coinciding with calendar mths. in manufacturing, we are going to have the 4/4/5 calendar: we believe manufacturing calendar cannot be anything but 4/4/5 or 5/4/4.
    any gotchas there?
    now, the client wants to switch over to the same calendar (4/4/5) for financials also, to have manufacturing and financials reporting in sync. question: is it necessary to do so for the sync to happen? what are the pros and cons of making/ not making the switch?
    what could be the possible gotchas in the switch? need your opinions on this.
    if any of you feel like responding on my personal mail id you can, at <[email protected]>

    Read Macworld or Maclife and you will get a good flavor of the many aftermarket companies out there. Patenting anything is really outside the scope of this forum and so is marketing for that matter. Get a lawyer for the former as a start.

  • Difference between repetative manufacturing and discreate manufacturing

    Hi,
    Guru's
    What is the difference between repetative manufacturing and discreate manufacturing in product costing.

    Dear Manish,
    Repetitive Manufacturing 
    In repetitive manufacturing, master plans are typically created on a period and quantity basis (reduction in individual lot and
    order-specific processing). A quantity of one product is manufactured over a certain period. The product is processed in a constant flow and interim products are generally not stocked. In repetitive manufacturing, you usually find that the effort required for production control is significantly less than is required for single lot and order-based production control and the recording of actual data is kept simpler. Repetitive manufacturing can be used for various industries, such as the
    consumer packaged goods industry, the electronic industry, packaging industry, for example.
    You can use Repetitive Manufacturing purely for make-to-stock production, or in a sales order-oriented environment, such as found in the automotive industry.
    Discrete Manufacturing
    Discrete manufacturing is characterized by requirements that occur on an irregular basis and a workshop-oriented process.
    The Discrete Manufacturing scenario can be used in different variants, production by lot size, make-to-order production and assembly processing. The variants differ mainly in the type of planning conducted before-hand and in the relation to the sales order. Production by lot size is identified by the grouping of requirements into lots during requirements planning, and by planning with existing basic data. Production by lot size is independent of a particular sales order. Make-to-order production describes the production of a material with reference to a particular sales order. The manufactured quantities are managed, in terms of stock, directly for the individual sales order. They cannot be exchanged with the stock of other sales orders. Starting from the sales order, single-item planning can be allowed as far down the bill of material (BOM) structure as you like. Assemblies and
    components can also be procured for the sales order that generates the requirements, and managed in stock for this sales order. If the product is a configurable product, the system chooses a variant for the customer based on the characteristics that he or she selects. A sales order BOM can then be generated for the sales order. This BOM is used to produce the product.
    Assembly processing is a form of make-to-order production, in which the production order (assembly order) is created together with the sales order. In assembly processing the components for the product have, in general, already been produced. They only need to be assembled. The advantage of assembly processing is that an availability check is carried out for the components when you create the sales order. This increases the reliability with which dates can be confirmed
    considerably. Changes to the sales order are automatically also made in the production order and vice-versa.
    And also you can follow the below link to know more about REPITITIVE MANUFACTURING its a pdf document from help.sap.com
    http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/print46c/en/data/pdf/PPREM/PPREM.pdf
    One More Example
    Repetive is usually a continuos flow, good example is making 5000 tv dinners you know how long it takes to make qty1 very little defects or fall out and you always have everything on hand to start the run, you may also make the same run 2-3 times per month so a cost collector is ok all cost go to top level.
    Discreet, You do have falls out reworks and move into production missing materials, long lead time its essential to know what and where it is at in production, cost may vary a little but each production order will be costed independantly for review.

  • Accessible PDF files and forms

    I am beside myself with the lack of help and/or interest in the Accessiblity area. We have been mandated to make all our PDF files accessible on our Web site. We have been able to master many of the issues regarding tags and form fields, but still have questions regarding updating the original PDFs without loosing the tag structure.
    Is there any options on the Adobe site that may concentrate on this area? I called tech support yesterday (Bronze contract), was on hold for 10 mins and got disconnected. After leaving my number, they never called me back again.
    HELP

    The point was not having to create the tags again in a new file before
    replacing the pages containing the form fields in the old file. We have
    many forms that get updated right up to the last minute and to go through
    the tagging process is too time consuming. We do not use PDF Maker, but
    produce all the PDFs directly out of InDesignCS3 to Adobe Acrobat
    Professional (Distiller).
    Thanks for your reply.

    I am really suggesting replacing all of the pages. I was thinking that the
    tag structure would go with the replacement and you would need to create
    the other PDF with PDF Maker to keep the tagging. I may be wrong, but that
    was the view I had. If you replace a single page, I am not sure what might
    happen since that would generally not be done with PDF Maker.
    Since you already have the application process going, it is probably
    easiest for you to try the variations on replacing pages and such --
    basically what I would be doing.

  • I inadvertently typed in a wrong account number which now shows up in the Account # drop down box. Is there some way that I can clear this (or all) entry and still let Firefix remember search and form entry? Thanks Mike Callahan

    The Scottrade web sight requires an account number as well as a password to log in. I inadvertently typed in an incorrect number and would like to eliminate it from the 'remembered' accounts. My only solution seems to be to turn off Remember Search and Form Entry but that impacts the correct account numbers and all other web sites as well.

    Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
    Highlight an entry in the drop down list
    Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

  • I am looking for a CRM system that integrates with mail chimp or constant contact, hoot suite and forms stack

    I am looking for a CRM system that integrates with mail chimp or constant contact, hoot suite and forms stack

    Hi,
    I could resolve the issue since there were lot of issues after system copy.
    1. During distribued to Cenrtal system - system copy.
    You need to combine both DB and CI export copies in one folder during which one thing can happen.
    SOURCE.PROPERTIES - this file will be there in DB export JAVA folder and also CI export JAVA folder where
    DB SOURCE.PROPERTIES file doesn't have an entry of "src.ci.host". This will stop the SAPINST with error and after modifying the file "SOURCE.PROPERTIES" Traget System Copy finishes without any issue.
    Then after this stage I encountered an issue with bind hosts entry in config tool which was due to virtual host name usage in my HACMP setup due to whcih JAVA gives a startup problem.
    I eliminated this issue also.
    After JAVA started I faced an issue with XI related navigations.
    ecchangeProfile url still had an entry of Production System. This may be a bug.
    After changing that entry, exchangeProfile was downloaded but it had all the source system host entries which were manually changed.
    Now I can access all the XI related navigations.
    I need to also perfrom SGEN and Profiles import.
    Do I need to change any additional settings after this so that my production and DR can work without any issue?
    Do you have any additional checks which I can perfrom to ensure my DR systems consistency before I start the log shipping from Production?
    Regards,

  • I'm looking for an app that will allow me to upload my contracts and forms to my iPad, fill in a customer's personal information, sign them, save them and email them.

    I'm looking for an app that will allow me to upload my contracts and forms to my iPad, fill in a customer's personal information, sign them, save them and email them.  I looked at easySign, Filemaker, FM Touch, Sign Docs, Zosh, Exzact, Mi-Co

    FormConnect (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/formconnect/id432653695?mt=8&ls=1) can handle the filling out, signing, saving and emailing the contracts/forms but uploading the contract and the form is going to be a challenge because you’re dealing with paper documents that have to be scanned.  If you can convert the scanned documents into an OCR program, you might be able to copy and paste the contract without having to retype it but the form itself is probably going to have to be recreated.  Alternatively, you could use a document annotation program such as iAnnotate and mark up the contract with ink.
