Training Course Overview

Efficient production planning lies at the heart of every successful manufacturing organization. Balancing demand, capacity, materials, and resources requires precise coordination and real-time data visibility across departments. SAP Production Planning (SAP PP) delivers this integration, enabling manufacturers to plan, execute, and monitor production activities within a unified enterprise platform.

This SAP PP: Production Planning and Manufacturing Integration training course provides a complete overview of SAP PP, its key functionalities, and its critical role in connecting supply chain, procurement, and inventory management processes. Participants will learn how SAP PP supports production scheduling, material requirements planning (MRP), shop floor control, and capacity planning. The program also emphasizes integration with SAP MM (Materials Management), SAP SD (Sales & Distribution), and SAP PM (Plant Maintenance) for end-to-end manufacturing visibility.

Through practical demonstrations, real-world case studies, and interactive group workshops, delegates will explore how to leverage SAP PP to optimize production workflows, minimize downtime, and improve cost efficiency. By mastering SAP PP, participants will gain the tools and confidence to drive smarter, leaner, and more adaptive manufacturing operations aligned with Industry 4.0 standards.
