Planning: conOperationScheduling

powered by S4/HANA

SAP Production Planning: conOS the innovative ERP add-on for detailed planning

We take your interactive planning to a new level. We know the existing processes of interactive SAP production planning, such as the PPDS planning boards or the old ERP planning boards, inside out and also implement them on an ongoing basis. But our claim is more: with conOperationScheduling, an SAP add-on, we show the power of the latest SAP technologies.

Benefits

Short- or medium-term planning is highly dependent on changes that take place continuously due to production progress, goods traffic, incoming customer orders, and machine conditions. With conOperationScheduling, such events hit the planning immediately. Thus, interactive production planning becomes a control station or simply a monitor for the shop floor. To make the actions in the planning board flexible, intelligent rules support. This allows you to determine how planning should react to production progress: For example, let’s assume that a work center has finished the operation faster than planned. Then you can model it in such a way that this information should be displayed immediately in the planning and, in addition, the subsequent operations on the same work center can start correspondingly earlier.

Technical requirements

The standard version runs from S/4 Hana 1909. However, it is also possible with restrictions to use conOperationScheduling with earlier SAP releases. In addition, we have also planned in the architecture to offer conOperationScheduling in a simple version also as a module for SAP ME or to process information (progress, machine data) from SAP ME.
