SAP usefullness  in ETO Project Manufacturing industry

Dear Sir,
I am looking for information on reference industries in "ETO Project Manufacturing" domain , who have implemented SAP solution and can really claim of  realizing the benefits in their business critical functions of  project planning & monitoring / Engineering Control / Production Planning / Finite Scheduling / project progress monitoring / potential delay / critical path monitoring etc .
In fact , our company also operate in ETO domain and have implemented ECC 6.0 including PPDS . But we are not able to realize the required business benefits with the SAP .
I would appreciate a indepth information sharing on this important topic from forum members so that user industries can be benefited .
With Regards
B Mittal

Dear Mr. Mittal,
I need a bit more information about your company/industry. Because ETO/Project Manufacturing is a huge end2end scenario and I have to advise you with the right references.
Which business benefits would you like to realize?
Could you provide me with more details?
I would suggest that you contact me direct under ([email protected]), because I guess you will provide me with some sensitive information.
Kind regards,

  • 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.

    Hi Sripriya,
    Manufacturing has been the foundation of SAP's customer base since the company's origin more than 30 years ago. In fact, SAP's very first customers were in the chemicals, consumer goods and pharmaceutical manufacturing industries, where SAP solutions revolutionized the integration of materials management and financial accounting. Today, SAP industry solutions enable closed-loop processes across engineering, manufacturing and supply chain operations to managing product life cycles, customer and supplier relationships, human resources and finances.
    Of all enterprise application providers in the world, SAP unquestionably supports the largest set of manufacturing companies. With its unmatched depth and breadth of industry-specific experience, SAP offers solution sets tailored to meet the unique business demands of more than 12,000 manufacturing companies of all sizes across diverse industry sectors, including aerospace and defense; automotive; chemicals; consumer products; engineering, construction and operations; high tech; industrial machinery and components; mill products; mining; oil and gas and pharmaceuticals.
    As increasing competition reigns across all industries throughout the global market, SAP® solutions are empowering companies with the added-value capabilities they need to grow their customer base and competitive advantage, such as after-sales service management throughout the product or project life cycle.
    SAP industry solutions support all common manufacturing methods ranging from make-to-stock in relatively stable manufacturing environments to planning with and without final assemblies in manufacturing environments confronted by rapid supply-demand fluctuations. Building on the capabilities of its enterprise software to improve business process efficiency and reduce costs, SAP is helping manufacturing companies to drive growth by enabling the next step in business process evolution: adaptive supply chain networks.
    SAP sees adaptive supply chain networks as encompassing five key abilities that competitive businesses need to compete in today's marketplace:
    •     Plan – Optimize and schedule supply chain and shop floor operations based on resource and material availability
    •     Execute – Manage build, move, modify, track and document activities on across the supply chain
    •     Sense – Continually monitor and alert in real-time exceptions that impact operations
    •     Respond – React rapidly and efficiently to demand and supply signals to internal and external deviations
    •     Learn – Continually evolve and incorporate knowledge into supply chain and manufacturing process
    SAP solutions empower companies with these abilities, creating enhanced visibility into the extended supply chain and thereby enabling businesses to adapt processes and respond in real time to meet customer demands. SAP builds user-centric solutions that adaptive manufacturers run to intelligently monitor, manage and optimize supply chain and shop floor operations and to seamlessly integrate into demand chain processes.
    •     Increased revenue – SAP solutions help companies increase their ability to anticipate market needs, seize new business opportunities, enable new levels of innovation and make sales and marketing campaigns more effective.
    •     Reduced costs – From reducing transaction costs to streamlining engineering, manufacturing, maintenance and logistics, SAP solutions empower companies to do what they do best, quickly identify where costs are being incurred, and reduce these costs across the enterprise.
    •     Increased capacity and improved delivery – Visibility into production and project schedules and customer requirements enables companies to precisely evaluate and quickly respond to market changes.
    •     Enhanced customer service – A more responsive customer service organization helps companies retain satisfied customers and drive new revenue streams from after-sales services and parts sales.
    •     Improved sales and increased customer lifetime value – With effective customer segmentation and accurate market forecasting, companies can make sales efforts count by identifying and retaining the most profitable customers through a continual understanding of the needs of individual customers and customer segments.
    •     Clarified business vision – Enhanced insight throughout the entire extended enterprise helps companies make more informed decisions, improve processes and streamline procedures to increase return on assets.
    •     Expand reach – SAP solutions enable tight-knit collaboration across enterprise and international boundaries, creating links through enterprise portals to work successfully with suppliers, partners and customers.

  • 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

  • Project Manufacturing just to stock material based on Projects

    Hello Dina / Experts,
    I am in situation where customer is in Real estate business using construction of properties and giving it on rentals or sell.
    Customer has a unique requirment to stock the material related to constructions based on the projects. I guess only project manufacturing can fulfill this requirment Am I correct? But does it advisable to iimplement project manufacturing only for this requirment? Is there any other cost effective approch to fulfill this requirement?
    Does there any white paper available on Oracle Project Manufacturing Functionality and setups avaialbe with you or NET?
    Please help.
    Thanks
    Edited by: oracle_samba on Mar 8, 2013 1:15 AM

    Hi
    when Customer wants to stock material and correspond to project, ideal scenario is to use Project manufacturing and perform PJM setups
    refer for setups Oracle Project Manufacturing setups
    with regards to construction project manufacturing setups are minimal, it is pretty clean with cost effective and control if you use Project manufacturing and Project costing
    Thanks

  • Project Manufacturing

    Hi,
    Anybody out there using Project Manufacturing ?? ..... been asking at Projects user group SIGs but doesn't seem to be widely used ....... apparantly it is part of the Supply Chain Management (SCM) solution and not Oracle Projects .....
    rgds, ....... eric.b

    project manufacturing allows you to capture manufacturing costs against a project. you capture your costs (like WIP) and map them to expenditure types. then a program (cost collector) will interface and distribute the costs to the project. notice the WIP job screen has a project and task information this has been around since R11. Initially it only supported average costing but since 11i it supports both average and standard cost
