This guide focuses on the functional and technical integration of production systems with SAP Digital Manufacturing – in particular on architecture, data structures and models, scaling, templates, operational organization, and procurement aspects.
The integration of SAP Digital Manufacturing with the existing production landscape is a key factor for the successful digitalization of production. To achieve transparency, controllability, and efficiency games in the long term, SAP DM must be properly embedded in shop floor systems and processes.
This Best Practice guide was developed in collaboration with DSAG member companies and serves as a practical guide for the successful introduction and use of SAP DM on the shop floor. It is based on the experience and knowledge gained from real projects that companies have implemented in their production environments.
The aim is to provide valuable insights based on specific examples and proven methods to help the planning, implementation, and use SAP DM. In addition to technical aspects, the guide also addresses organizational and process-related challenges, to provide a holistic perspective.
