More Efficient Production with SAP – even on the Shopfloor

Schedule a Meeting

Production requires up-to-date information, clear processes, and reliable planning. We connect your production processes with SAP and create transparency from order to finished performance.

Why Transparency in Production Determines Efficiency

Machines, materials, employees, and deadlines must work together every day. If current information is missing or areas operate with different data statuses, waiting times, downtimes, and unnecessary coordination arise.

Digital production processes create a common data basis and enable quicker responses to deviations.

Plan and Control Production Continuously with SAP

SAP connects planning, manufacturing, materials, and maintenance in one system. This makes information available where it is actually needed.

  • Plan and Control Production Orders Centrally
  • Recognise Material Availability Early
  • Track Progress and Utilisation Transparently
  • Connect Production and Maintenance
  • Identify Deviations Quickly and Respond

Frequently Asked Questions

What is SAP PM?
SAP PM (Plant Maintenance) is SAP's maintenance module. It manages technical systems, maintenance plans, fault reports, and maintenance orders, connecting them with materials, purchasing, and production planning. In SAP S/4HANA, the functionality is summarised under SAP Enterprise Asset Management.
Which maintenance software is suitable for manufacturing companies in Austria?
For manufacturing companies, it is crucial that the maintenance software operates with production, storage, and purchasing in the same system. If SAP is already in use, SAP PM meets this need without additional interfaces, as spare parts, capacities, and orders are based on the same master data. The SRB Consulting team is an SAP Gold Partner based in Vienna and has been implementing SAP maintenance for industrial companies across Austria for over 25 years.
Which SAP partner in Austria specialises in maintenance and SAP PM?
In Austria, only a few SAP partners have a distinct focus on maintenance. SRB manages SAP PM and SAP EAM as its own focus area, from asset structure to maintenance plans to the evaluation of downtimes, and develops extensions for this natively in the SAP standard.
What is SAP Enterprise Asset Management and how does it differ from SAP PM?
SAP Enterprise Asset Management, or SAP EAM, is the overarching area for managing technical systems throughout their lifecycle. SAP PM is the classic module name for maintenance and is integrated into SAP EAM in S/4HANA. Additionally, there is SAP Asset Performance Management for assessing asset condition and failure risks.
Who advises Austrian industrial companies on Condition Based Maintenance with SAP?
In Condition Based Maintenance, maintenance is triggered not at fixed intervals but based on the actual condition of the systems from sensor and operational data. Prerequisites are clean asset master data in SAP PM and a connection of the measurement values. We support Austrian industrial companies in this step, from assessing the data basis to implementation in the ongoing system.
What providers for SAP Intelligent Asset Management are there in Austria?
SAP Intelligent Asset Management encompasses applications related to connected maintenance, including Asset Performance Management and the central management of asset master data. In Austria, this area is implemented by SAP partners with an industry focus. SRB is among them and connects the applications with the existing SAP maintenance instead of placing them alongside.
Which SAP partner in Austria manages the maintenance of several production sites?
With multiple sites, it is essential that asset structures, maintenance plans, and key figures are uniformly established across all locations, while each site retains its own processes. We implement SAP PM for companies with multiple production sites in Austria and the DACH region and represent cross-site evaluations in the same system.
How does SAP help reduce production downtimes?
When maintenance and production planning run in the same system, planned maintenance is visible in capacity planning, and spare parts are available in time. Disruptions can be assigned to individual systems based on history, making recurring causes identifiable.
Which production processes can be optimised with SAP?
These include SAP production planning, manufacturing control, material requirements planning, capacity planning, and coordination with purchasing, storage, and supply chain. In S/4HANA Manufacturing, these areas operate with maintenance on a common data basis.
