Manufacturing isn't getting easier. You're under constant pressure to deliver innovative products, respond to customer demand quickly, and eliminate costs - welcome to the Perfect Plant.
The Perfect Plant:
- Leverages the investment in your Enterprise Applications
- Delivers simplified business processes to the front-line operator
- Exploits the existing manufacturing infrastructure and data sources
In the Perfect Plant you have visibility into all aspects of your manufacturing operations. By providing the ability to respond faster and minimize impact to the business and bottom line, companies can drive increased yields, asset utilization and order fulfillment.
Your path to the Perfect Plant starts with SAP xApp Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence (SAP xMII).
SAP xMII gives you real-time visibility between the shop floor and the top floor. It leverages your existing investments, delivers simplified business processes to frontline operators and exploits existing manufacturing infrastructure and data sources.
In a 2006 survey*, those companies who connected the shop floor to the top floor by using SAP xMII solutions delivered:
- Reduced manufacturing costs
- Increased plant efficiencies
- Increased production yields
- Reduced maintenance costs
- Reduced asset capital investments
- Reduced inventory
As SAP xMII doesn't require an SAP ERP system there's no need to rip and replace your existing systems. Companies are able to go live in as little as eight to twelve weeks, delivering quicker time to value and reducing total cost of ownership.
