MRP II Flow Digram

(1) BP (Business Plan): entire plan of what gets manufactured is driven by business plan. (2) S&OP (sales and operations planning): forecast what they expect they will need. (3) forecast drives the MPS - MPS sets in motion all of the other activities. (4) Material and Capacity Planning (5) Plant and supplier scheduling (6) Make

MRP II

(manufacturing resources planning) • current • MRP II is designed to plan all required resources of a manufacturing company. (not just material as was the case with MRP) • Not all companies need MRP II systems. (don't do manufacturing/light manufacturing). • Usually these types of services that alter the SKU while it is in the supply chain do not require full manufacturing planning systems. A common term for some of these activities is "value added" manufacturing.

MRP

(material requirements planning) • first generation of manufacturing planning systems.

Using MRPII or MES: 1. If a manager needs to know the amount of time that was spent on a certain manufacturing task 2. If a manager needs to know where the bottlenecks are during the production process. 3. How many hours did each person work on manufacturing line 4 on Tuesday? 4. If a manager needs to know how many items will be manufactured next week 5. Who are the raw material suppliers?

Routing

A routing is a series of sequential operations carried out to produce an end Routing product. Routings contain information on where work is to be performed, steps that need to be completed, and time lines assigned for each operation.

Transaction code

A transaction code is assigned to each transaction (not each screen) in the SAP system. The Transaction code chapter has more hints on displaying and finding these codes and other navigation options

Work Center

A work center is a location where operations are carried out for an order. Work center Capacities (setup, machine, and labor) are assigned to work centers so that they can be allocated and consumed within an order in a controlled and predictable manner. The work center capacity is created in and assigned to a single work center.

What are the names of the transactions that you reach from the SAP Easy Access Menu and what are the transaction codes for calling them?

Task Example: Global Bike Inc. has numerous customers both in the US and in Germany. Display one customer for the US (Philly Bikes) and one for Germany

Routing/BOM in Engineering Workbench

The Engineering Workbench (EWB) provides an environment where you have the ability to create, change, and delete BOM and routings. More importantly, it gives us the ability to create work lists and work on specific parts of a BOM or routing without locking the entire object.

Business scenario:

a group of related business transactions belonging to a particular organizational area that fulfill a related purpose in the company, for example preparation of the balance sheet, personnel administration, purchasing, service, or production.

Transaction

an application program that executes business transactions in the system, such as create sales order or post incoming payments.

The Stock/Requirements list

contains up-to-date information on the current status of inventory on hand, requirements, and receipts. It is a dynamic list that allows you to view changes made to material status.

F4

gives you information and possible entries. You can also use the F4 help by choosing directly right of a selected field.

A bill of material (BOM)

is a list of the components that are needed to create a given product. The list contains the description, the quantity, and unit of measure. The BOM can contain items of different item categories such as stock items, non-stock items, document items, and text items.

Organizational unit:

organizational grouping of areas of the company that belong together for legal or other business reasons. Examples of organizational units are company, sales office, and plant

F1

provides you with explanations for fields, menus, functions, and messages. In the F1 help, you can choose to get technical information

Manufacturing Execution Systems

shop floor control systems. • Also includes systems that manage batch or continuous manufacturing.

Master data

transaction-specific data that is short-lived and assigned to certain master data, for example a customer. Transaction data created when executing transactions is stored as documents. Examples of documents are sales order, purchase order, material document, and posting document.

Continuous and batch manufacturing:

• Batch: production line that makes batches of Pilot G2 Pens • Continuous: production line that manufactures gasoline from crude oil

MRPII and MES

• managing a manufacturing operation is done in the MRPII system and the MES system. • sometimes one software vendor will supply both types of functionality. • line may not be so apparent (i.e. maybe one logon id accesses both functions

MRP II key blocks of functionality

• master production schedule (MPS) • bill of material (BOM)

S&OP

• sales and ops provide different perspectives, take both inputs

MSP

• the plan of what will be made, in what quantities, on what days, by which manufacturing lines. • The MPS is also used to schedule the other resources in the plant, such as who needs to work, on what, and when.

BOM

• the recipe for manufacturing something. • Once firm knows what is on the MPS, it examines inventory records to find on-hand stock of finished goods and raw materials and then issues purchase orders to acquire the needed raw materials. .
