SAP Manufacturing Execution Partner Certification

Walldorf-based SAP Germany GmbH & Co. KG has included the SAP Logistics Project House IGZ Logistics + IT from Falkenberg (Oberpfalz, Bavaria) as a member of its Collaborative Business Initiative (CBI) for Manufacturing Execution. SAP has thereby confirmed IGZ's expertise in the SAP Manufacturing Execution applications. IGZ offers a full-service solution based on SAP Manufacturing Execution, SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence (SAP MII) plus Plant Connectivity, featuring powerful tools integrated into the SAP solution platform for the management, optimisation and increased efficiency of production systems using the SAP software suite.

"The participation of IGZ Logistics + IT in the Collaborative Business Initiative means we can strengthen our Manufacturing business with a dedicated partner who offers a clear commitment to the added value offered by SAP. The competence IGZ has built up for SAP Manufacturing Execution is very impressive,"says Christian Bender, Head of Ecosystem and Partner Group, SAP Deutschland AG & Co. KG

Proof is to be found in IGZ's best practices for the user-friendly and flexible configuration of the production layer, plus control stations with a wide range of visualisation functions. IGZ's solution competence also covers direct SAP interfacing with the machine layer. System owners can use this to actively control their production layer and improve both productivity and production process quality by using the SAP software suite with direct integration to SAP ERP. Accordingly, the Falkenberg-based company now offers full vertical integration from the ERP layer to the machine layer.

One of the IGZ highlights for customers in the process and manufacturing industry: Reports based on OEE KPIs, so as to monitor overall equipment effectiveness in terms of availability and continuous improvement, while setting benchmarks. These form the heart of a KPI-controlled and optimised production unit, as confirmed by IGZ customers.

In combination with a wealth of planning and implementation experience in the field of supply chain execution, IGZ offers its customers SAP integration for both the logistics and production layers. This makes the Falkenberger SAP integrators the partner of choice for interdisciplinary and full-service SAP solutions in the fields of distribution logistics and production control.
