SCM History
Roots in military logistics, in WW II: the first large, complex organizations getting the right supplies, the right labor, to the right place, at the right time
1991: The Gulf War is often called the largest supply chain success of the 20th century
Supply chain concepts and terminology formalized in the early 1980’s at a few major Universities
IT began supporting SCM concepts in the late 1980’s
Integrated supply chain systems appeared in 1991, driven by powerful PC’s, integration, networking
In 1998 ERP vendors entered supply chain market
Now SCM is being driven by internet & e-commerce

Supply Chain Planning
SupplyDemand
Companies do this by predicting customer demand and fulfilling it by the most efficient allocation of inventory and
production capacity.
• The right product
• At the right time and place
• Delivered to the right customer
• At the lowest total cost
• With the lowest asset investment
Supply Chain Planning is the process of balancing available supply against demand

SCM Planning and Execution
Supply Chain Management starts with a completed Business Plan:
Strategic Planning
Business Planning
Sales & Operations Planning
Financial Planning
Distribution Requirements
Planning
Demand Planning
Production Planning & Scheduling
Material Requirements
Planning
Execution
Functional Planning
• How are we going to increase the value of the company?• What businesses are we going to get in/out?• How are we going to accomplish? (acquisitions, mergers, joint ventures, divestiture, etc.)
• What are the financial implications of the strategic plan?• What are the financial resource requirements?• Which financial vehicles should be used in meeting these resource requirements?
• What will it take to make the business more profitable?• What events / trends are taking place in the markets served which may impact our business?• How are we going to respond to these events / trends?• What are the appropriate service and cost targets to gain competitive advantage?
• How does projected demand compare to projected supply?• What are the projected resource requirements to meet both service and cost targets?• What actions are required to insure the appropriate levels of resources are available when needed?

Supply Chain Impacts
• Improved customer service (greater market share, higher prices)
• Lower raw materials and finished goods inventory
• Shorter “order-to-cash” cycles
Shareholder Value
Profitability
Invested Capital
• Fewer physical assets (manufacturing plants, warehouses, material handling equipment, trucks, etc.)
• Lower cost of goods sold (including material, manufacturing, handling, warehousing, distribution, and general overhead costs)

SAP-APO Modules
SAP Advanced Planner & Optimizer
SAP application used to enable real time decision support, advanced constraint based planning and optimization
Covers the planning requirements (optimization, finite capacity, what-if simulation...) not covered by the R/3 system:
APO runs on an independent server from the R/3 one
SAP provides standard software to interface APO and R/3 (stocks, purchase orders, production orders,…)

Supply Network Planning
Supply Chain Model Ability to model the entire supply network and all of its constraints such as
resource capacities, storage limits, transportation capacities, material availability, safety and target stock levels, etc.
Concurrent Planning Produces Distribution/Production/Inventory/Procurement plan concurrently
SNP Heuristic Performs requirements planning (infinite capacity) for the whole, or a subset
of the supply chain. Capacity leveling capability is used to balance resource loads.
SNP Optimizer It is a one step generation of an optimized finite capacity plan in which all
defined costs are minimized.

Supply Network Planning
Supply Network Planning
• Supply Network Planning (SNP) integrates purchasing, manufacturing, distribution,
and transportation to develop tactical planning and sourcing decisions to be
implemented on the basis of a single, global consistent model.
• SNP uses advanced optimization techniques, based on constraints and penalties, to
plan product flow along the supply chain.
• Starting from a sales plan, SNP determines a permissible short-to-medium term plan
to cover both the quantities that must be transported between two locations and the
quantities to be produced and procured.

• APO Master Data is always assigned to Models. (OLTP Master data comes automatically to model 000)
• Versions are created for each model and these contain version specific master and movement data. Time series
are saved in planning area version.
• In planning book and data views, characteristics, key figures, time bucket profiles, planning horizons, macros are
defined.

What Are They?
SAP R/3 is an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. It is a suite of modules designed to integrate an organization. Its main purpose is to integrate data throughout the organization and support the execution of business processes.
SAP’s Advanced Planner Optimizer (APO) is an Advanced Planning System (APS). An APS supports any form of planning activities to manage the supply chain and is a substitute to any planning modules found in a ERP or legacy system.
Advanced Planner and Optimizer
APO is:
o A planning toolo A decision support tool for managing
throughout, inventory, and order/demand management
o A modeling technology that enables the supply chain planning process by: Modeling “what if” scenarios to solve
problems Incorporating resource and capacity
constraints Optimizing plans and schedules around
those constraints
Advanced Planner and Optimizer
APO does not:
o Manage entire Bill of Materialso Replace financial functionso Maintain inventory movements and position o Operate as an execution system
Page 34
APS Vs ERP
5 key enablers that distinguish the functionality and capabilities of an APS to those of an ERP system:
• Calculation Speed Memory Resident Architecture.~ 300 times faster than a typical MRPII/DRP system
Creates Capability for continuous process where replanning can be executed every time a change occurs
• Consider Supply Chain constraints concurrently MRPII is a sequential logic, checking one level in the supply chain at a time
APS can check impact on all constraints in the supply chain simultaneously
• Constraint Based Planning APS has the ability to consider ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ constraints, MRPII only manages soft constraints
• Upstream and Downstream propagation Using APS, the impact of a supply side constraint can be reflected in terms of downstream effects in the supply chain
MRPII propagates changes uni-directionally upstream only
• Problem Solving/Optimization features embedded in an Interactive Planning environment APS presents opportunities for sophisticated planning methods, such as profitability optimization, not available
through MRPII.
