Training Introduction

Efficient production planning is the backbone of every successful manufacturing operation. Organizations must balance demand, capacity, materials, and resources while maintaining real-time visibility across departments. SAP Production Planning (SAP PP) provides a unified platform to plan, execute, and monitor production activities, enabling manufacturers to achieve operational excellence and cost efficiency.

The SAP PP: Production Planning and Manufacturing Integration Training Course gives participants a comprehensive understanding of SAP PP, its core functionalities, and its critical role in integrating supply chain, procurement, and inventory management processes. Delegates will explore production scheduling, material requirements planning (MRP), shop floor control, and capacity planning, with practical guidance on integration with SAP MM, SD, and PM for end-to-end manufacturing visibility.

Through hands-on workshops, case studies, and real-world demonstrations, participants will gain practical expertise in optimizing production workflows, minimizing downtime, and enhancing resource utilization. The course emphasizes leveraging SAP PP to build adaptive, lean, and digitally-enabled manufacturing operations aligned with Industry 4.0 standards.

Key Focus Areas of This Course:

  • Understanding SAP PP architecture, modules, and integration within SAP ERP and S/4HANA
  • Managing master data for materials, BOMs, routings, and work centers
  • Executing production planning processes including MRP, demand management, and scheduling
  • Controlling and monitoring shop floor operations, confirmations, and order settlements
  • Integrating SAP PP with MM, SD, PM, and other modules for seamless operations
  • Applying performance analytics and KPIs for continuous manufacturing improvement
  • Aligning SAP PP functionalities with Industry 4.0, MES, IoT, and digital manufacturing strategies

What are the goals?

This course equips participants with the knowledge and practical skills to optimize manufacturing operations using SAP PP. Learners will be able to plan, execute, and monitor production effectively, improving efficiency, cost control, and resource utilization.

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to: 

  • Understand SAP PP structure, components, and integration within SAP ERP and S/4HANA
  • Manage master data for materials, BOMs, routings, and work centers
  • Execute production planning, demand management, and MRP runs efficiently
  • Control shop floor operations, confirmations, goods movement, and production orders
  • Analyze production performance, costs, and KPI metrics
  • Integrate SAP PP with MM, SD, PM, and other modules for end-to-end manufacturing visibility
  • Implement Industry 4.0 practices, lean manufacturing, and predictive production strategies

Who is this Training Course for?

This course is ideal for professionals responsible for production planning, manufacturing operations, and supply chain efficiency. It is particularly beneficial for those looking to implement or optimize SAP PP solutions to improve production workflows and manufacturing performance.

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit: 

  • Production and operations managers
  • Manufacturing engineers and planners
