 SAP S/4HANA Manufacturing Overview

SAP S/4HANA MANUFACTURING VALUE PROPOSITION

SAP S/4HANA enables companies to integrate and embed intelligence in manufacturing processes with one
source of live information. It provides an optimal coordination of planning and execution processes, covering all
aspects of the manufacturing cycle from planning to the shop floor and beyond.

Reduced Operational Cost

Redesigned data structures enable unprecedented data throughput, and embedded solutions create a simplified system
landscape and optimized user interfaces.

Improved Planning Accuracy and Reduced Inventory Cost

Live inventory data and drastically reduced material requirements planning (MRP) processing time improve transparency
and responsiveness.

Faster Business Decisions and Optimal Manufacturing Performance

Immediate insights on planning, execution, prediction, and simulation, with analysis at the finest level of granularity.

A Simplified User Experience

Leverage SAP Fiori user experience to deliver personalized, responsive, and intuitive applications across all facets of the
manufacturing process, on any device, anywhere, anytime.

Individualized Products

Cater to the market of one, delivering customized offerings to meet the unique needs of individual customers, multi-
faceted configurations, and highly variable demands with regional and localized requirements.
