Detailed planning with SAP Resource Orchestration (SAP REO)
SAP DM REO leverages the power of automation and AI technology to optimize shift planning and make it more efficient. This innovative tool helps production managers in manufacturing to identify potential inefficiencies, quickly adapt to unexpected events such as machine or employee breakdowns and prioritize the skills of individual employees to optimize throughput – all while ensuring maximum efficiency.
Personnel resource planning
Workforce scheduling comprises strategic and operational planning as well as the allocation of workers based on their availability, qualifications and the specific requirements of the production processes.
Functions:
- Create shift schedules based on rules and real-time data
- Manage flexible working hours for employees
- Carry out resource planning based on skills
Tool planning
With SAP REO, you can reserve tools directly from the planning board and monitor their availability in real time. By taking parallel and sequential production orders into account, overlaps and conflicts are avoided. The integration of real-time data and advanced planning algorithms makes it possible to manage tools optimally, which significantly increases the efficiency and continuity of production processes. This ensures that the right tools are always available in the right place at the right time to guarantee a smooth production process.
Functions:
- Assign tools in the planning board
- Resolve overlaps of reserved tools
- Resolve overlaps & display tools
- Tool assignments of operations
Order planning
Order planning involves the allocation and optimization of production orders to ensure that production resources are used effectively, and delivery deadlines are met. Production processes are harmonized to avoid bottlenecks, improving overall production performance.
Functions:
- Order planning based on machine capacity and personnel availability
- Load balancing procedure and heuristic processing of backlog orders
- Sequential arrangement of orders based on specific characteristics such as size, shape or color of the products to be produced.
