Lean Manufacturing using SAP

Hi,
I have domian knowledge on Lean manufacturing. I want to know how it can be achieved through SAP.
(KANBAN and JIT is one of the solution). I want to understand like the details in sap.help.com, is there any material on this?
Pl. let me know one end to end scenario for this.
Madhava

Hi,
Thank you for information.
It's mentioned that, combine with SAP ERP lean functionality SAP LPO offers end-to-end platform for lean implementations across the enterprise.
Pl.let me know
1) what are all the SAP ERP lean functionality (other than KANBAN and JIT).
2) Is xLPO add on facility or a separate system like APO?
3) If so, how to get the add on facility or Separate system?
4) If it's a separate system, how to Map it? (again with CIF - similar to APO)

    Hi Vegendla
    Technology playing a major role in today's business environment. So many companies and corporations have adopted information technology on a large scale by using Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems to accomplish their business transaction and data processing needs. And in this technology SAP R/3 plays a significant role when compared with other similar tools.
    ERP system takes a lead role because of some of the following reasons:
    Many large corporations use several different and separate information systems, often because they have merged with and/or acquired other companies with varied systems. An ERP system integrates these separate information systems and results in improved data reliability and processing efficiency. ERP systems are not only used by large corporations but becoming popular with small to mid-sized companies also.
    Simplify business transaction processing and thus work load is reduced.
    Some of the main advantages of using SAP R/3 are listed below:
    SAP's R/3, introduced in 1992, is the most used ERP system in the world.
    The R/3 software package is designed to allow businesses to effectively and efficiently operate a variety of business processes within a single integrated information system.
    The software is customizable using SAP's proprietary programming language, ABAP/4. R/3 is scalable and highly suited for many types and sizes of organizations and runs on six different platforms.
    SAP’s R/3 has been designed to be the best ERP system in the four areas of human resources, financial, supply chain management, and marketing. R/3 is also an international product, and meets the local fiscal, language, and tax requirements of most countries.

  • Project Manufacturing using PS

    Dear Sir,
    We are in the business of manufacturing Industrial Machine as per customer requirement and 70% engineering is done fresh for  every customer order .
    We are using Project System for manufacturing and have followed the following appraoch :
    a) On Receipt of Customer Order , we first create a Project .  Parallely Engineering activity , BOM preparation , Roting preparation is started . We are not creating WBS BOM .
    b) For Advance procurement , relevant items are attached under an activity in a WBS
    c) FERT item requirement is attached  in the Project  under an activity in the WBS.  We are not using BOM transfer apparoch.
    d) MRP run is made against the project (MD51) and Planned Order , Purchase Requisitions gets generated .
    e) As BOM/Routing  preparation is still in progress , SO MRP run is made multiple times .  For a Project on average we make MRP run approx 5 times .  At this stage BOM/Routing reaches to 100%.
    We seek the guidence from the experts gurus  that whether the apparoch being followed by us is a correct one . Incase the above approach is not the correct one ,  we request expert gurus to kindly guide us about the best apparoch to be followed .
    We will be highly greatful for the kind help pl .

    Hi ,
    You may want to consider adding Pre-sales process. One of the order winning criteria in MTO environment is  Quotation meeting customer requirement.
    SAP has easycost planning objects available to cater to it. Process starts with inquiry.
    1) Create inquiry for customer request. Define service material in material field in VA11
    2) Create Project copying closest executed in part ( you have said 70% is engineered fresh, then project is 30 % correct at the time of copying)
    3) Amend project to add/chnage/delete components & network activities. Add miilestone payment you wish to propose in quotation.
    5) Add project no in inquiry (Accoutn assignment in Line item )
    4) Use DP81 traxn to create quotation.Easy-cost planning need to be configured to calculate price( Cost+ mark up scenario possible) There are possibilites to pull as many deatils as you wish in quotation ( As line items) from project structure. It is possible to list major assemblies that will be delivered to customer( Make- To - Order variations). It is also possible to replace Service item used in inquiry with 'Material masters' of FERT & itemization in Quotation. Milestone dates from project will be copied you can propose % billing arrangement at each date to customer.
    5) Able to revise quotation seamlessly & resond to customer changes/addtioal request. Revised quotation reflects your ability understand customer request & changes are seamlessly reflected in qty,  total price & dates.
    6) Upon confirmation of Sale, Sales order can be created copying quotation. All hard work/ iteration of commnucation with customer , need not be defined in system again. Order Acknowledgement will reflect agreements with customer.
    One of the key challange in MTO environemnt is integrity of what is delivered as against what was promised & if you are using SAP , it can be achieved , if you capture 'Pre-sales' process in SAP.
    Easier said then done, though. We did a Crew-boat building project recently & SD, FI, CO consultant are opposed to ideas of putting inquiry/quote process in SAP.

  • Any reference company listed on US Stock Exchange using SAP B1

    Did anyone knows of any company listed in US Stock Exchange using SAP Business One?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Crypton,
    Please close this thread, else it seems like i wasted my time.
    I did speak to a high level SAP executive today, I got two names for you - the company in American Stock exchange that have SAP Business ONE. But it is qualified usage, the companies are so big, they can not just run on SAP B1, however, they do use SAP B1 in some subsidiary or division.
    We can not expect SAP B1 a less than 50K solution to replace a 500K solution. That is just not going to happen. SAP B1 is for small to medium business however, can serve as part of certain division in a larger 100 or 500 fortune companies.
    The two take away names are - For manufacturing it is Callaway Golf ELY
    In Canada and some parts of USA there is a major Canadian Coffee/Donut/FastFood chain called Tim Horton - It is traded in US exchange under the symbol THI
    Last one for you is Disney - DIS.
    You are welcome!

  • Recommendation on a good book on replenishment (DRP) using SAP SCM 5.0

    Hi,
    Appreciate that anyone can recommend a good, solid book on replenishment planning using SAP APO.
    We don't find that SAP's documentation is helpful on replenishment planning of the global supply network, and it dos not seem to have a thoughtful design and well defined process. e.g. transport and shipment scheduling under the gATP documentation, which is clearly designed for sales order taking, and vaguely mentioned that the process can be apply for STR/STO. To me, it does not seem that author fully understand the entire supply chain planning process, from planning to execution in this regard. Another example, SAP documentation says that PP/DS heuristic can plan STR, but when you use it, then you realized that you really can not combine shipments and the planning process and execution are completely falling apart, as the scheduling dates, such like MAD, transport planning dates, pick/pack are not visible in APO nor integrated with planning process.  out of sync with R/3. If using SNP, then we realized that the SNP heuristic is too simple to deal various different supply/demand situations, and have to adopt a completely different set of tools from production planning. 
    We have very tightly integrated global supply chain process for manufacturing, replenishment (DRP) and customer service.  APO, having such sophisticated production planning functions, can not even handle such common marine transport planning well.  We have both liquid and solid products with transport mode being marine, rail car, truck, barge etc.  It is being a real challenge to plan our supply chain using APO.
    Thank you in advance. Also appreciate anyone can share their experience.

  • Using SAP PI instead of CRM Middleware

    Hi experts,
    Is it recommend to use SAP PI instead of SAP CRM Middleware.
    If yes how can I do that.
    I have read in forum requests that it can be implemented by using iDOC instead of BDocs.
    I need a technical guideline how data (eg. Business Partner Data) can be tranferred from CRM to other ERP System.
    Thank you for help.

    Hi!
    SAP PI itself is a middleware Product but very roboust and capable enough to integrate any system to any other system, either it is SAP or Non-SAP. And there are two ways to integrate other ERP System to SAP CRM using SAP PI.
    1. SAP PI will receive the message from back end ERP system & convert it to the XML format. SAP CRM receives the message using the Middleware XIF adaptor and convert the incoming XML Messages in the BDocs and the BDocs upload the data in the SAP-CRM Data base.
    2. SAP PI will receive the message from back end ERP system & convert it to the XML format. SAP CRM receives the message and using the Functional Module convert the data into the  BDocs and the BDocs upload the data in the SAPCRM Data base. In thsi situation, you need an expert ABAP Consultant to write the accurate functional Module.
    The data inside the SAP_CRM System always transported in the BDocs not in Idocs. It is the BDocs data containers which transport the data from CRM Middleware to CRM Database and CRM Database upto CRM Middleware.

  • SSO Using SAP GUI Logon

    Here's my question gurus...
    Is there a way to enable SSO so that, after a user authenticates themselves within the portal, go back to the standard Windows SAP GUI Logon(pad) select the system enter the desired client and logon with having to provide a username and password? The credentials would be passed from the portal to the connected backend system.
    We currently have a slew of systems and there corresponding clients it would be awesome to sync all systems with the portal and only have to administer passwords from and for the portal. Consequently the portal would handle the rest. The folks here have not fully embraced using the html version of the gui hence the reason for this posting.

    Hi Mike,
       If i understood your requirement, You want to use SAP functionality form portal.
      You Can do that, by creating a SAP System from your portal and you can call any Transactions from the portal it self, by using that System.
      How to create System and User mapping for that System you can find in the below link. It may helpful to you. Ping me back, if you have any doubts.

  • SSO to non SAP Application using SAP Logon Ticket

    Hi Experts,
    I Have EP 7 SP 15 using SPNego Wizard to SSO with Active Directory and SSO between EP and ECC using SAP Certificates.
    Now I have a demand to SSO some JAVA based applications (non SAP) to my portal using the SAP Logon Ticket.
    I Have followed some blogs that directed me to use SAPSSOEXT (some libs) to read the MYSAPSSO2 cookie. The problem is that I didn't found this cookie, I even executed the command javascript:document to look for this cookie but the browser just show me the JSESSIONID info.
    Does anybody knows where I can find this cookie or if there's a better way to set up this SSO? It´s necessary to say that I cannot SSO these application to the kerberos protocol because some security reasons on my company.
    Thanks
    Armando

    Hi,
    I dont have much info related but i can giv u hint
    refer OSS Notes 442401 and 723896.
    When using SAP logon tickets for non-SAP applications, two different implementation options are available. The difference lies in where the ticket verification takes place.
    In the first case,  the SAP logon ticket is submitted to the web server filter located on the web server. The web server filter verifies the portal serveru2019s public key
    certificate using its local Personal Security Environment (PSE) and then populates the HTTP header field with the user ID for SSO to the non-sap web application.
    In the second case,  the SAP logon ticket is sent to the non-SAP application, which then verifies it using the ticket verification DLL and submits the user ID to the application for SSO.
    You can refer following link :-

  • How to implement SSO to non-SAP systems using SAP logon ticket?

    Hello,
    We would like to implement Single Sign On between our SAP Netweaver system and a Siebel which is a non-SAP system using SAP logon tickets.
    Can anyone please give me some leads on this, in particular:
    1. Is there a JAVA API or an SAP plug-in that can be implemented on the Siebel machine to extract the SAP logon ticket?
    2. As the other machine might seat on a complete different domain, is it possible to implement SAP logon ticket without using cookies (perhaps through the HTTP header?
    3. In case you think using SAP logon tickets is not the best solution here I would be happy to hear any other suggestions you might have.

    Hi,
    I'm currently using SAML as well. Unfortunately the SAP J2EE cannot work as authority (identity provider) but what you can do is using an open implementation of SAML such as opensso which is an open version of SUNs Java System access manager.
    There are a couple of other projects such as opensaml, apache's wss4j or shibboleth that might be interesting in this context.
    I just installed opensso and got it working with SAP J2EE 7.0 using SAPs JAAS SAMLLoginModule to authenticate users within SAP J2EE.
    In this scenario opensso serves as identity provider just as you need! There are a couple of Policy agents available on SUNs Download site you can use with Apache, Tomcat, JBOSS, WebSphere, Bea Web Logic etc. in order to authenticate! Otherwise you just directly authenticate against opensso. When installing opensso you can configure the type of user store you want  to use! By default it uses LDAP but you can also use different types of user store using JDBC or other mechanisms. Since you have a Directory Service you could easily connect it to your existing directory.
    There is also a way to map user ids directly in opensso by adding a uid mapping class. I created some documentation with lots of screenshots about using opensso with SAP J2EE. You can easily use opensso with any other system that supports SAML. In the case of SAP the usage is currently limited to SAML versions 1.0 and 1.1. Version 2.0 is not yet supported but should be in one of the following versions.
    Here are some links you might want to check:
    OpenSAML: https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/OpenSAML/Home
    wss4j: http://ws.apache.org/wss4j/
    shibboleth: http://shibboleth.internet2.edu/
    opensso: https://opensso.dev.java.net/
    On SDN you will find a documentation on how to connect SUN Java System Access Manager to SAP J2EE (see https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/906d9fc6-31b9-2910-1385-90edad7d7570). As I said opensso is based on the SUN Access Manager code and looks quite the same. So you can adapt this documentation in order to configure opensso or you can just ask me for the documentation.
    Hope this is helpful...
    Let me know if you need further assistance on this topic
    Cheers

  • SSO to Web Service using SAP Logon Ticket

    Hi,
    I have to do SSO using SAP Logon Ticket between my portal and a Java Web Service that is accessible over internet. I do have the WSDL file of this Web Service.
    I want to know:
    1. What changes are required in Web Service to configure it to read and accept Logon Ticket?
    2. What am I supposed to do at portal end to enable this process?
    Thanks,
    Vivek

    Hi Vivek & Raja,
    > is it that if the WS is a third party WS and running on a Non-SAP J2EE Server,
    > we can't implement SSO from Portal to it using SAP Logon Ticket?
    Right, if you cannot extend it's functionality, how should it do the ticket verification...
    @Raja:
    > SAP Logon Ticket is for authenticating to a SAP system, since yours in a
    > thirdparty ws, there is not need of SAP logonticket.
    On the other hand, that's not true. It is possible as well as often done to verify the SSO ticket on some third party system. This is also supported, for Java as well as for other systems, different articles about such scenarios have been published, also here on SDN.
    Hope it helps
    Detlev
    PS: Vivek, please consider rewarding points for helpful answers on SDN. Thanks in advance!
