Business Case: Background SAP was implemented in February of 2023 from Metalware. The business has noticed longer than usual lead times and has to figure the lead time per machine manually. The capability to do this is inside SAP by use of capacity tools.

To do this, they need to see their machines' capacity and where they are regarding machine utilization. The business needs to be trained in the proper use of capacity tools inside of SAP; this will help them see capacity utilization per work center and allow them to give more accurate lead times and allow them to see where overtime may be needed or where production can be shifted in able to meet the customer's demand and, in the end meeting the goal of lead times of four weeks.
Objectives Reduce business lead times from eight weeks to four weeks Identify potential bottlenecks in the existing process Develop capacity framework inside SAP Develop an understanding of SAP capacity tools and capabilities Look at current resources and realign as needed Improve communication between OMS, schedulers, and customers
