OBJECTIVE OF BUSINESS BLUEPRINT PHASE: This document is the outcome of the As-Is study, Discussion at Training and during the To-Be process and business process requirement analysis for the Vedanta Alumina Limited. Based on this As-Is coupled with inputs from the core team members during To-Be discussion, we arrived at the Business Processes, which are to be incorporated in the Business Blue Print. The aim of this document is to map the best business processes related to the Production Planning module in SAP ECC 5.0. This document is to be studied by core team members & process owners from Vedanta Alumina Limited. The preparation of this document is an essential precursor for prototyping and testing. The development work will start once process owners approval for this Blue Print is obtained followed by a corporate presentation to the senior management team, Vedanta Alumina Limited. This document will be used for configuring Production Planning module in SAP implementation. Document is based on discussions/presentations between representatives of VAL & PWC. In other words it contains 1. SAP Organization Model in context of existing business scenario and future requirements/issues as envisaged by VAL. 2. Mapping of business processes/issues brought forward by PwC & VAL, with SAP functionality. 3. Gaps & issues emerged during the discussion between VAL & PwC. 4. Business Process Flows mapped in SAP as per the scope defined.

Section II Organization Structure Plants The plant is an operating area or branch within a company. The plant is assigned to a single company code. A plant has its own material master data. You can maintain data at plant level for the following views on a material master record in particular: MRP, Purchasing, Storage, Work scheduling, Production resources/tools, Forecasting, Quality management, Sales, Costing. Among this, views in bold would be used in case of Vedanta Alumina Ltd. As per discussion with Finance & Materials, there will be only four Company Code (1000,2000,3000,4000) and four plants (Non-Virtual) will be created which may be as follows: PRODUCTION PLANT 1000 2000 3000 DESCRIPTION VAL Alumina Plant VAL Power Plant VAL Smelter Plant

Storage Locations Storage location is an organizational unit allowing the differentiation of material stocks within a plant. All data referring to a particular storage location is stored at storage location level. This applies mainly to storage location stocks. Several storage locations can be assigned to a plant. The logical and physical storage locations will be configured to track the inventory in the shop floor. The configuration of the storage locations will be done according to the physical or the logical movement of materials in the shop floor. The detailed discussion on storage locations will come in the plant specific documentation. Proposed Storage Locations for plant relevant for PP.

Note: The Resource of caustic may not used on day-to-day basis. It may be used at the end of the month to capture WIP for Caustic and that too would be used if any other work around is not found at realization and integration testing phase. PwC s Suggestion is to manage WIP through a generalist approach.

The Factory calendar will be named as Al and PO for Process and Power plants respectively. Periods and the Fiscal Year will be from April March. Holiday Calendar Every Plant will be having a holiday calendar with details of the holidays as public and other holidays, either as fixed or a moving day in a year. The Factory calendar will be named as Al and PO for Process and Power plants respectively. Periods and the Fiscal Year will be from April March. Material Groups The functional grouping of the materials for reporting and analysis. It can be used to restrict the scope of analysis and searching specifically material master record via search help. MRP Group If we are going for different process order types for Alumina (finished materials), power (raw materials for process plant) etc, and then MRP group can be created. Material type assignment has to done on one to one basis. One plant may have more than one MRP group. The number of MRP group to be finalized in the Realization phase.

MRP Type For material those would be planned on the basis of manufacturing requirement would be planned through Classical MRP. For these type of material MRP type PD would be used in general. Based on this requirement planned Order would be generated in the system for finished product. Raw Materials would be planned through consumption based planning. Relevant information related to Re-order point and safety stock would be provided in the material master record. Lot-sizing Procedure Using this system should calculate the Order quantity for planned order. It is consumed from material planning. We would use Lot-for-Lot Order Quantity in general (EX). MRP Controllers It specifies the group or the number of the controller responsible for Material requirement planning in your organization (Plant or Company). The material, which is relevant for material requirement planning, should be assigned to a MRP controller

To-Be Processes Production Planning Processes The Business Blue Print is divided into various sections as defined by the different processes as discussed during to-be and Expectation from SAP. These processes are: Finished Product Planning. Raw Materials Planning. Consumables Planning. Production Scheduling. Capacity Evaluation. Order Execution. Goods Movement. Cost Analysis. Report Analysis.

To carry out these processes, certain Masters are required to be maintained prior to carry out the Transactions and Reports. This master is listed below with explanation text. These Masters are created before Go-Live through Mass data upload process. They are fixed or constant in nature. The system would access these master data while the user will be carrying out transaction on day-to-day basis. So from user point of view also it mandatory to understand the relevant or organization specific master data in detail so that actual business process is replicated into the system in terms of data and hence phenomenal purity.

Material Requirement Planning

The main function of material requirements planning is to guarantee material availability, that is, it is used to procure or produce the requirement quantities on time both for internal purposes and for sales and distribution. This process involves the monitoring of stocks and, in particular, the automatic creation of procurement proposals for purchasing and production. In doing so, MRP tries to strike the best balance possible between

Optimising the service level and Minimizing costs and capital lockup.

Special Organizational Considerations: Different Grades of Bauxites and coal would be treated as single material. Neither it would be batch managed nor separate material code would be maintained for that. It will be managed through Moving Average price. In Refinery only three Resources might be there. There will be no In Process Inspection. Red Mud should be treated as Waste. Process Order would be created for a month for refinery. At the end of every month Process Order would be reconciled. Demand for Alumina should be generated on monthly scale. Confirmation of process Order of refinery will be done shift wise/Daily basis. In power plant consumption would be posted based on the actual Production. Reading of meters at the end of power plant may be taken into account.

For power & steam one PO will be generated on daily basis. Distribution rule of power & steam will be posted on daily basis per process

order (manually). All the raw materials will be planned by consumption based planning and that will be taken care by MM.
