Industrial Machinery Manufacturing scenario

Dear Sir,
We are in the business of manufacturing the Industrial Machinery as per customer specific requirement . The multilevel BOM for the machine comprise of almost 1000 differnt components / assemblies . Some of the components are bought-out and some are manufactured in-house .
We run the MRP on the basis of engineering BOM and this result into several planned orders getting generated .
The issue with our appraoch is that there are lot many Production Order getting generated and many of such production order require very small duration operation for producing their output components (eg a keyway cut in an input assigned forging) .
We think that instead of having so many production orders , there should be a better practice so that numbers of production orders gets reduced .
We seek the expert opinions from SAP Gurus as in such type of industry scenario what is the best procedure to be followed so that organization working becomes the efficient one .
With Thanks and Regards
Sonia Agarwala

Hi Sonia,
What I understood from your query, I think you need to use Special procurement key '50 - Phantom assembly' for your requirement.
Following are the links which will explain what is Phantom assembly, how it works and how it should be implemented.

Suggest manufacturing scenario Discrete / Repetitve for Iron & Steel indus

Which scenario u will suggest for Iron & Steel industry & why?
Product - Galvanised Plain/ Galvanised Corrugated Sheets
Process- Pickling-Cold Rolling -Galavanizing- Cutting /Corrugation
but the product is varying in THK & Width so how u can go for repetitive?it works on both scenario MTO & MTS
yes sheets r of diff sizes & widths as per orders but same operation is carried out but u have control some parameters
Kindly suggest manufacturing scenario Discrete / Repetitve ?

Hi
If u say that the sheets are of different sizes and shapes, will the different sizes have different workcenters or in one machine all the different sizes can be produced. if all the sizes and shapes come out of the same machine, i think discrete will be the best suited(as per my knowledge) or if only the last operation of cutting is different and other operations are same, then u can go for the combination of Repetitive and discrete.

BTO,BTS,CTO and ETO Manufacturing Scenarios impacting MES or not?????????

Hii Everyone...Wish u all a very happy new year 2011.CAn u all pls help me get some informations on different manufacturing startegies and regarding the same my query is mentioned below:-
How does different manufacturing Scenarios like BTO,BTS,CTO and ETO impact implimentation of MES system.
How is the interface of MES with ERP,LIMS,PDS,PLM,Equipments and SCM,CRM systems.Whether the interafce changes considering the scenarios like ETO,BTO,BTS,CTO.

Hi KRajiv,
I would say that either of those production strategies can be maintained in SAP ME solution, however, this tool is responsible for technical implementaion of the strategy rather then for its design. So, you will not find a document with step-by-step instructions for each of those strategies with pointing to difference between them.
Currently, SAP ME has interface with ERP only.
I would suggest that you consult "Business Scenario Description SAP ME 5.2" available on SMP:

Best Practice for manufacturing Industrial Machinery in batch size

Dear Sir,
We have a scenario where we need to manufacture Industrial Machine in a Batch Size of 10 nos . These machines have multi level BOM and total manufacturing cycle time is approx 3 months .
We request you to kindly suggest us about the best manufacturing practices related process we should follow to address this scenario .
At present , we have been manufacturing these Machines on individual basis ( It means MRP run is done for individual machne and production orders generated are also on individual machine manufacturing basis) .
We would be highly greatful for the suggested solution pl .
Rgds
Sonia Agarwala

Dear ,
Please use the following functionality in your case :
1.If you are particualr to have 10 pc in each batch qty then keep the Lot Size as Fixed Lot Sixe -FX with Fixed lot size qty as 10 in material master MRP1 view .
2.As your approximate manufacturing cycle is 3 motnhs , then you can have MRP run once three months for FG and plan your dependent accordingly through MRP .
3.If you are following MTS cycle , then create demand in MD61 or you can create direct Sales Order in VA01 for MTO process
4.Run MRP with NETCH ,1,1.3,3,2 , planned order with FG qty 10 pc will be generated and you can convert them into Production Order in MD04-Planned order-convert to PO

Repetitive Manufacturing Scenario

Dear All,
I would appreciate it if you can provide me with a FLOW of REM, a walkthrough guide with transactions to test the REM scenario and pre-requisites of each transaction.
Thank you

Dear,
Reporting Point Rem
Steps are as,
1)You must assign a suitable repetitive manufacturing profile in the material master record to be able to backflush a material using either the mandatory or the optional reporting point backflush function.
2)You must set the optional or the mandatory reporting point backflush in the repetitive manufacturing profile.
3)This type of backflushing corresponds to the milestone confirmation in make-to-order production. Therefore, in the routing, you must select a control key which has indicator 1 (= milestone confirmation) in the confirmation field.
4)You must enter the routing in the production version of the material. The system first looks for the routing entered in the detailed planning section. If no entry exists here, the system then uses the routing from the rate-based planning section.
5)You must carry out a version-specific or a standard cost estimate.
6.You are recommended to use the version-specific cost estimate which can be carried out in shorter intervals than the standard cost estimate.
Reporting point is a concept for REM. This is to be set up just like Milestone operation.
Select the Control key which is relevent for Milestone confirmation like PP01
or select a control key which is having the confirmtion selected as *1 - Milestone confirmation
You need to select REM profile 003 or 004 from sttd REM profiles to have Reporting Point and in OP67 (Control key for Operations) you need to set confirmation to 1 - milestone confirmation .
Please try and come back.

R.Brahmankar

Process manufacturing scenario

Hi, Pls explain process flow of PP-PI Manufacturing? not SAP point of view, but just general manufacturing point of view.

Hi Yadav,
Just my thoughts,
A process industry is one in which the same material which is fed at the beginning passes through several stages of operations undergoing transformation along the way & ending as the finished product if i may call it so.
Some prominent examples would be the Oil & petroleum industry, where the crude oil is the base & this is transformed over a series of operations. These operations are combined under different phases called processes. So a series of such processes which takes place from turning crude to petrol or even high grade fuel something like aviation fuel.
So how the flow works as in real-life, it is entirely case dependent & needs to be studied very intricately as most of these process industries are very big ones & usually follow a complex maze of processes.
Hope the above was helpful.

Vivek

Industry standard Manufacturing

Hi,
I want to know how the SD process differ in a manufacturing industry and IS Retail. Can IS- Retail be used in a manufacturing industry? Or do they follow a different industry standard. I am not able to understand the industry standards by going thru help.sap... Can anybody please help?
Thanks,
SV

hi,
there is no IS specific for plastic but there is one for CHEMICAL as you can see in the following link.

How MES is effected with BTO,BTS,CTO and ETO manufacturing scenarios.

Does MES really gets impacted with following different manufacturing styles like BTO(Build to Order),BTS(Build to Stock),CTO(Configure to Order),ETO(Engineering to Order)...Whether SAP ME(different/latest versions) handles its separately if the production is happening as per BTO,BTS,CTO,ETO scenario.
If its affecting MES then how it does it and how the integartion with different systems ERP,PLM,PDM,LIMS,SCM is dealt in each scenario .

Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) are IT solutions that support the primary production processes in a production plant. These applications close the gap between ERP systems and production equipment control or SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) applications.
MES will be used to pass the real time Data in Shop floor in to SAP,
In SAP ME
Master data:
Master data detail is transferred from SAP R/3 to SAP ME, data such as material master, BOM, routing, Production order is transferred from r/3 to SAP ME thru IDOC/BAPI
Transaction data:
Real time data is Collected from the SCADA or from controller is send to SAP ME, From SAP ME, the data is transferred to R/3 by using BAPI/IDOC
separately if the production is happening as per BTO,BTS,CTO, ETO scenario
while transferring the prdn order from R/3 you can also send infrm such as Customer/project

Repetative Manufacturing Scenario

We have configured the repetitive manufacturing on our client, we are doing the backflush with referance to planned orders that created via MRP. Every thing is working ok, my question is that wht should b the size of Product Cost Collector, either it is the total planned order quantities in that month or wht? we are confused at this point and need help in this regard we also have multiple Production Versions so we will create multiple cost collector but wht should be the size of each cost collector?

Dear Bashir,
1.You cannot have 2 standard cost estimate in the same period.
2.For a material if you have more than one production version, and if you want to book the confirmations using both the
production version means,then one production version can have a standard cost estimate and the other one can be based on
the preliminary cost estimate.
3.In case if you want to confirm using only the standard cost estimate means,you have to cancel the existing cost estimate
using CKR1 and then only you can take a new cost estimate in the same period.
4.Say based on production version1,a cost estimate has been carried out and in the mid of the period ,let us assume you want
to post using the second production version.So in this case the first one has to be cancelled using CKR1,and then taking a new
cost estimate using CK40N.
Now come back with your further queries.

Mangalraj.S

Repeatitive manufacturing scenario

Dear Experts,
We have multiple prod line & using separate prod version for each line & maintaining one BOM.
We want to maintain Line Code & Station Number combination for components in the BOM so taht with a query we can get the report that at any particular station what parts are required from the BOM.
Thanks.

We want to put station number against each component where the particular part is to fitted in the BOM of finished good. We have multiple lines & single BOM without issue sloc of component of a finished good for all the lines. We are maintaining prod version for each line & issue sloc is maintained in prod version. For a line one sloc is maintained for consumption of the component. How we can put station number & line number so that we can get information from BOM as at any particular station what components will be used.
