What is SAP Digital Manufacturing?

Full name

SAP Digital Manufacturing

Category

Supply Chain & Manufacturing

Typical roles

SAP Digital Manufacturing Consultant, Manufacturing Integration Architect, MES Functional Lead

SAP Digital Manufacturing is a cloud manufacturing execution solution connecting shop-floor activities to enterprise planning. It supports production execution, operator guidance, data collection and performance visibility.

ERP plans and accounts for production; manufacturing execution coordinates the work and evidence on the shop floor.

A practical SAP Digital Manufacturing engagement begins with an inventory of the installed product and release, affected business processes, connected systems and decision-makers. From there, the team can define scope, data and integration requirements, testing responsibilities and a realistic transition or support plan.
