Logistics Processes Modelled in S-BPM and implemented in SAP to reduce Production Lead Times

Published: 07 April 2016 Publication History

Abstract

Reducing production lead times is an essential factor in maintaining flexibility and customer orientation. In practical applications in our company this mainly lead to a focus on the process steps directly on the shop-floor while overlooking the surrounding production steps in the organizational or administrative areas. Common tools like Value Stream Mapping support this shop-floor focused behaviour. By applying subject-oriented Business Process Management to survey, model, and analyse complex cross-company processes and implementing the identified improvements via SAP we were able to significantly improve the existing logistics and production processes, resulting in an increased process stability and reduced overall lead times.
