Lesson: Explaining Key Features and Benefits of SAP S/4HANA Manufacturing for Production Engineering and Operations (PEO)

● Enhanced Visualization
PEO utilizes SAP Visual Enterprise (VE) software as well as graphical SAP Fiori capabilities
to provide 3D visualization and live simulations that simplify engineering and execution
activities, such as EBOM to MBOM handover, analyzing the impact of a change by seeing
what orders, routings, and MBOMs are affected in a graphical way. This leads to faster and
more accurate decisions impacting manufacturing. Production operators benefit from 3D
visualization in their PEO production dashboards that allow interaction with 3D models to
highlight required components and track the progress of assembly activities cross
operations.
● In-built integration with SAP S/4HANA Core
SAP S/4HANA PEO users can easily connect their process with core SAP S/4HANA
capabilities like QM, PS, PM, MRP, Inventory Management, and so on. This helps to
synchronize data across various processes like product engineering, manufacturing
engineering, production planning and execution, as well as ensure quality compliance and
on-time delivery of a product.
● Seamless Incorporation of Engineering Changes into Running Production Process
SAP S/4HANA PEO ensures that the latest design change is received, analyzed and
incorporated throughout production with limited disturbances and via clear,
comprehensive work instructions and notifications to production operators.
● Fully Integrated End-to-End Process
Extended SAP S/4HANA capabilities to manage and interact with production orders and
operation activities at the shop floor, where a full featured MES is not required. Seamlessly
collaborate with production order management system, work queue management, shop
floor execution, and genealogy in an integrated SAP S/4HANA environment.
● Simplified User Experience
SAP S/4HANA PEO follows the main principles of SAP Fiori to create a coherent and
enjoyable user experience, even when executing complex business scenarios. SAP Fiori is
role-based to provide the right information at the right time to the right people; adaptive to
enable you to work how and where you want, regardless of the device you use; simple to
help you personalize the experience and focus only on your relevant tasks and activities.
● Scalability
Provides an ability to smoothly scale production to meet demand.
● Transparency
Provides increased visibility for product genealogy and traceability.
