mySAP SCM gives you the ability to adapt to changing marketplace conditions in an effective manner that helps you retain customers and competitive advantage. Not only does it support planning and execution capabilities to help you manage enterprise operations, but it also provides visibility and collaboration technology to extend those operations beyond corporate boundaries. The result is measurable improvements through cost reductions, service-level increases, and productivity gains – ultimately leading to higher profit margins.

Software for Collaboration, Planning, Execution, and Coordination Across the Adaptive Supply Chain Network

In an age of intense competition, supply chain efficiency and adaptability are not just requirements for success. They are necessities for survival.

The mySAP Supply Chain Management (mySAP SCM) application is software that can help your organization transform a linear supply chain into an adaptive supply chain network, in which communities of customer-centric, demand-driven companies share knowledge, intelligently adapt to changing market conditions, and proactively respond to shorter, less predictable life cycles.

Many companies across the globe have used the mySAP SCM application to improve their business and operations processes. In fact, the mySAP SCM application is the only supply chain software application that integrates collaboration, planning, execution, and coordination of the entire supply chain network -- an application empowering you to:

• Synchronize supply to demand -- Balance push and pull network planning processes. Replenish inventory and execute production based on actual demand.
• Sense and respond with an adaptive supply chain network -- Drive distribution, transportation, and logistics processes that are integrated with real-time planning processes.
• Provide networkwide visibility, collaboration, and analytics -- Monitor and analyze your extended supply chain.

mySAP SCM Brochures and Whitepapers

Key functional areas of mySAP SCM include the following:

• Supply Chain Collaboration - Supports key e-business processes required to perform supply chain planning and execution beyond the boundaries of a single company or enterprise; examples include collaborative planning, forecasting and replenishment (CPFR), vendor-managed inventory (VMI), and direct procurement
• Supply Chain Hub - Enables companies to integrate partners and customers into supply chain networks. E-Supply Chain Services, such as Supply Chain Collaboration, Order Promising, and Supply Chain Event Management play a central role in the supply chain hub solution
• Supply Chain Event Management - Monitors every stage in the supply chain process, including all milestones - from price quotation and procurement to product delivery; distributes alerts and recommends actions when key events are missed
• Supply Chain Performance Management - Monitors and displays key indicators associated with supply chain performance, including costs, assets, and objectives; aids strategic decision-making and monitoring; integrates the analytical capabilities of mySAP Business Intelligence
• Supply Chain Design - Enables companies to react to changing market conditions, such as new product launches and new customer segments, and to align their supply chain infrastructures. The strategic decision process covers strategic sourcing, and answers the question "Where to produce what and how to distribute it?" The results include supplier selection, redesigned distribution concepts and transportation networks
• Demand and Supply Planning - Enables supply chain partners to forecast and plan demand considering historical buying and selling behavior, market intelligence and sales objectives. The demand is profitably matched to supply to maximize return on assets in consideration of operational constraints; updates and synchronizes plans based on the dynamic exchange of information; allows manufacturers to derive total supply chain production requirements and publish results to all members of a supply chain
• Direct Procurement - Integrates Web-based buying processes, including rule-based procurement, automated replenishment, and multiple supplier support
• Manufacturing - Supports discrete and process manufacturing from planning through to execution and analysis. Creates feasible, optimized production schedules taking material and capacity constraints into account; ensures fast, flexible approach to engineering changes and customer requirements through integration of manufacturing with other supply chain processes
• Order Fulfillment - Enables companies to intelligently commit delivery dates in real-time and fulfill orders from all channels on time through optimized manufacturing, warehousing and transportation processes; includes real-time, global available-to-promise checks to locate finished products, components and machine capacities in a matter of seconds; the checks take product characteristics and market constraints into account; order management, including the creation of quotations, sales orders and bills; transportation management, including transportation planning and vehicle scheduling, execution and tracking of individual shipments
