mySAP Supply Chain Management
The competitiveness of a company only depends on its internal efficiency in part. The other part is determined by external partners such as suppliers or forwarders. Up to now, though, work has generally been carried out on optimizing internal processes only.
Supply chain management relates to the planning and control of the entire supply chain, and aims to optimize the interaction between all parties involved by means of integrated sales and requirements planning and cross-company management of merchandise and information flows.
This approach's potential for improvement is evident: reduction of costs through lower inventories, avoidance of stock-out situations through better delivery of merchandise, and greater flexibility through shorter response times in the supply chain.
The tasks that this involves are supported by supply chain management systems. The integrability of such a system is a particularly important aspect because it is necessary to chain the physical and informal flows between the parties involved in an optimum way.
mySAP Supply Chain Management fulfills the demands placed on collaborative, integrated planning as well as on the control of information and merchandise flows within a company and across company boundaries. This software can be deeply integrated with other SAP modules.
Solution
mySAP Supply Chain Management is software to control activities along the supply chain. It supports collaboration between business partners over the Internet, thus enabling planning and handling activities to be optimized across company boundaries. It is also possible to set up cross-company logistics networks by using corporate marketplaces.
mySAP Supply Chain Management supports processes ranging from product development through sales planning to order processing, production planning and procurement. The logistics network can be monitored at all times so that employees and business partners are informed on the spot if there are any variances from plans or deadlines.
Other control functions, too, are an important part of a logistics solution. This software calculates key figures on profitability and potential, and also measures and rates the effectiveness of suppliers.
Considerable cost savings are possible as a result of better supplier comparisons, automated purchasing procedures and planning that takes customer and supplier aspects into consideration.
Another advantage of mySAP Supply Chain Management is evident: it is part of a fully integrated, all-in solution. Consequently no elaborate interfaces are needed to integrate other SAP modules such as mySAP Retail, mySAP Customer Relationship Management and SAP Business Information Warehouse. mySAP Supply Chain Management can, however, also be integrated easily with solutions from other makers via standardized interfaces.
