SAP Implementation in cement industry

Hi,
This is my second implementation in cement vertical.In earlier implementation I went with repetitive with QM.Please can you justify which will be the best suitable for cement ,REM or PP-PI.with reasons.
Regards,
Manoj

Hi Manoj,
Better go for Repetitive Manufacturing.If customer required according to the various order go for Discrete.
Work centre consider as a line . Each cement grade must have separate BOM and routing. Accordingly must create materials.
Also, Refer this[ Very IMP Link !|http://www.sap.com/community/showdetail.epx?ItemID=14566]

Hi,
This type of functinality can be Map through using Inventorised excise duty.
In this tax procedure is if TAXINN.
then you have to make tax code using FTXP.
In which you will maintain Condition records for those condition types which are of inventory type rather than set off.
Like for BED - JMIP.
ECS-JEIP
and then two other conditions JMX2 and JEP2.
hope this is clear if any doubt please ask.

Time frame for SAP implementation query

Hi guys,
I am a university student and am currently trying to collect some information for my paper on development of ERP systems in industrial companies, particularly SAP. I'm meant to do some field research, but it is proving to be rather difficult, which is why I wanted to ask for some help from people who have experience in the implementation of the SAP system.
What I'm looking for is the time frame that the SAP system takes to integrate into an industrial firm. Also, the scope of integration (ie how many and which modules were added on top of the core SAP system) and the number of users after the full implementation of the system.
I don't need the name of particular companies, as I understand that that may be disclosing too much corporate information, but it would really help me if someone could give me a realistic time frame of the implementation process for SAP.
Thank you, in advance!
Anya

Anya,
Update to your queries:
size of the company that this SAP implementation took place at:
Answer : In terms of revenue $200 million +
Interms of employees 6000+
HR module in particular - whether it can be fully implemented separately and how long would it take?
Answer:
Definately, it can be fully implemeted and other modules may not be used
Time period - 3+ months as Business packages are available in SAP.

Ganga

SAP implemenation in Casting Industry

Hi,
We are doing implementation for Casting Industry.
There are many stages in the process.
1) Core Manufactruing
2) Moulding
3) Motlen Metal
4) Casting-Pouring
5) Shot Blasting stage 1
6) Fettling
7) Re-shotblasting
8) Painting
9) Packing
Can any one guide me for following.
1) We should go for 9 Material codes.
or
2) Two matrial codes one before Pouring and second after pouring of metal
or
3) Any one has experience in Casting plant implementation.
There are approx 30 products each are manufactured everyday & with above 9 stages we are landing to 270 Production order a day. It will be very hactic activity for Releaseing, confirming , etc to the client.
Any one has good experience or expertise, please advice.
Regards,
Manish

Manish,
1) We should go for 9 Material codes.
Probably not, but only your client can tell you. Does he need to store inventory at any/all of the intermediate stages of production? Does he have reporting requirements about the valuation of the material(s) at various stages of production? What is the amount of time it takes to process something from RM stock to FG stock? How much commonality is there between the various components of the 30 FGs? Will any of the levels (from RM to FGs) be manufactured as MTO or MTS? Are there any quality inspection/sampling requirements at intermediate stages? What kind of material traceability will be required? You must get these and other important answers during your investigation phase of the project, before you can even begin to make a recommendation to your client.
2) Two material codes one before Pouring and second after pouring of metal
Maybe. Or, maybe even only one material number (just the FGs) from the beginning to end. Your client will decide when you give him the options.
There are approx 30 products each are manufactured everyday & with above 9 stages we are landing to 270 Production order a day. It will be very hectic activity for Releasing, confirming , etc to the client.
I guess this calculation is based on the '9-intermediate-materials-per-FGs' scenario. This may or may not be acceptable, only your client can answer. I have worked in environments where 1,000 production orders per day was acceptable, and also in environments where 30 orders a day was unacceptable.
As a side note, just because you manufacture something every day does not mean you must have an order every day. You can enter a production order for a quantity that equals 10 days worth of manufacturing capacity, and the system is just as happy as it would be if the order only consumed 1 day's capacity or 1 hour's capacity. The shop floor people just keep working on the longer orders until they are done. The size of the production or process or planned order is dependent again upon the client and his business requirements.
Many of the above decisions will have to be made in concert with requirements from functional areas other than PP. Usually during an implementation, all the functional areas will work together to come up with the solution(s) that best fit the client's requirements.
I have never worked in casting. However, SAP does have a Best Practice for Fabricated Metals that may be helpful. Here is the Building block library

Scope of SAP SD in Retail Industry

Hi All,
I have just done my SAP SD module and i am interested in knowing the scope of SAP SD in retail industry. Is there any retailing company in India which has implemented SAP or is interested in implementing.
Kindly throw some light on this .
Rgds
Subashini

Hi Subahashini
As far as retail companies are concerned they are more into IS-Retail
which is nothing but Industry solutions for retail
This is similar to SD but more focussed on retail industry needs
See this link

Sap implemented companies in uk

Hi every body,
Could some one tell me how to find out sap implemented companies in u.k. i have checked in google and sap.com but i am not able to find out few companies. any website please..
many thanks
srikanth

Srikanth,
Its a very difficult question to answer for me atleast.
You can search for resumes on SAPGENIE.COM, may be you can find resumes with UK clients.
Or you can go to SAP website and there you can have industry wise client list. Then it is your job to figure out which of those clients UK companies.
I only know British petroleum (Oil and Gas company) based in UK.
If I come across anything I will let you know.
Good luck,

Hi Bhaskar,
PPPI - Production planning in process industry.
It is one of the production process,where in the product is produced and controled by a DCS or one of the process controlling system, Which can be directly intergated to SAP system.
Here many level of process approvals required example ...shift operateor is given the instuction in SAP PI sheet and he does the production booking,,,which will be approved by shift incharge and then psoted to invenory, same way quality of the product also can be approved....
In the cement industry, you coordinate the communication between PP-PI and process control during the execution of a process order.
So some process contorl activity are there so you should go with PP-PI.
Hope it is now clear to you.
