Case Study 2
Semiconductor Industry

SCM – APO PPDS Optimizer

CUSTOMER OVERVIEW
The client is a growing semiconductor company. They have achieved a competitive market position by providing what semiconductor markets need most – design and functionality, high quality, and accurately meeting customer specifications and on-time deliveries.

BUSINESS CHALLENGES
As a part of the client’s Global IT Strategy the SCM PPDS Implementation was critical in bringing operational and supply chain planning excellence to their business to retain their competitive market growth.

AMG ADVISORS was brought in for its specialized consulting services in PPDS for developing an overall strategy and implementation of SAP APO PPDS. AMG ADVISORS leveraged its extensive experience in the semiconductor industry in helping the client develop excellence in the manufacturing-optimization process on their semiconductor testing floor and achieve a highly-sophisticated scheduling tool.

AMG ADVISOR'S APPROACH
After mapping the processes, AMG ADVISORS determined the level of re-engineering that is possible for the client’s planning process. AMG ADVISORS developed a real supply chain management process in which APO PPDS Optimizer was fitted to meet the needs for shop-floor scheduling.

Besides the design and implementation of PPDS Optimizer solution, AMG ADVISORS also helped develop BI matrix to monitor the efficacy of this solution. These were web-enabled reports that were developed and presented to management.

AMG ADVISORS continues to help our client in the strategy and development of an advanced Production Planning and Shop Floor Optimization solution. The complex Change over calculations of scheduling rules on the Test floor were quantified in terms of system parameters with SAP best practices. This multivariable constraint planning and scheduling in PPDS requires in depth knowledge of shop floor domain along with extensive experience in SAP delivered tools to accomplish the desired results. AMG ADVISORS has taken a multipronged approach to implement these complex optimization calculations by first matching with Standard APO PPDS functionality and then bridging the functionality gap with SAP recommended user defined developments.

AMG ADVISORS is also helping our client develop a vision and strategy for a production planning and detailed scheduling shop floor implementation. This includes the evaluation of the DP/SNP/PPDS integration requirements and developing the PPDS custom heuristics and complex R3-APO Integration enhancements.

AMG ADVISORS implemented this project with their Supply Chain Management methodology best suited for the client environment



RESULTS
AMG SUPPLY CHAIN ADVISORS delivered a robust APO PPDS Optimizer Solution across the company to meet the key business objectives: Complete Automation of Scheduling Testers, Minimizing Change Over Time, Improving Customer Delay, and Seamless integrations from APO to R3. The solution designed was scalable for future upgrade and integration with other functionality, consistent with the overall Supply Chain Strategy.
