Everyone in any substantial company deals with SAP, often on a regular basis. Many of the everyday business processes that touch engineering and manufacturing are based on SAP. Regardless of the particular PDM system used, critical information like part identifiers, BOMs, product codes and supplier information come from some SAP-based backend application. This session presents various SAP-enabled PLM business processes for typical engineering environments in manufacturing companies. We’ll discuss various technical options that SAP and its development partners provide for engineering and related processes, along with direct or indirect (via CAD/PDM systems) integration of engineering authoring applications. Typical use case scenarios found in SAP PLM implementations will also be highlighted. Whether you use SAP directly or indirectly, this session will help you understand and thrive in an SAP-enabled environment.
