mySAP Product Lifecycle Management.
Lesson Objectives
 After completing this lesson, you will be able
to:
–
–
Outline the tasks associated with processes
supporting sales order management, production,
procurement, and product lifecycle management
Explain how mySAP ERP and mySAP PLM
support the key processes in product lifecycle
management
Business Example

As a fast growing global company, IDES
must respond quickly to market and
customer demands within a heterogeneous
corporate system landscape.

Intracompany mapping allows management
to track changes within process departments.
Product Lifecycle Management

Product Lifecycle Management, or PLM, has
become a catchphrase.

It is nevertheless a useful term to indicate
that the concept of areas and single systems
needs to be replaced by that of processes.

Nowadays, the life cycle of a product - from
product development, procurement, and
production through to service - is
characterized by strong intracompany
divisions and a heterogeneous system
landscape.

Processes end artificially at system and
departmental limits.

A good example of this is the change
process in construction.

Traditional product data management
systems merely map the change process in
the construction department.

During production processes, there is no
support that enables construction changes to
be introduced.

The aim of mySAP PLM is to support the
entire product life cycle.

Starting in product development, the product
data that is amassed is used for all
subsequent processes.

This enables other areas, such as mySAP
Supply Chain Management, to benefit from
the data.

According to this principle, an integrated product
development process goes far beyond the current
methods used in product development.

The development of mySAP Business Suite enables
customers and vendors to be equally involved in the
extended process chains of product development.

The name Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)
does justice to this approach.

mySAP PLM supports your company in
product development, the maintenance of
assets, and service processing for your
products.

For your company to be successful, it has to
offer the right products at the right time and
at the right prices.
mySAP PLM enables you to do just this.


The right products are those that meet your
customers' needs.

To find out what these needs are, you need
to engage in a discussion process with your
customers right from the start of
development.

During this process, both partners need to
have access to the same documents.

The product has to reach the market or be
handed over to the customer at the right
time.

Delays increase costs and decrease your
competitive ability.

However, it is not only delays that lead to
increased costs; changes made to products
once they have been developed are also
expensive.

Early discussion with customers and the involvement
of vendors and development partners at an early
state can help keep down the cost of changes.

Costs can often be reduced for service processing
through preventative maintenance.

When running assets, processing services, and
developing products, the early involvement of
customers and subcontractors reduces your costs
and increases profitability.

mySAP PLM brings together a number of benefits
that help your company keep ahead of the
competition.

You can reduce costs through measures such as
effective cost control in projects or by minimizing the
maintenance costs of a piece of equipment.

PLM also enables you to increase productivity; for
example, by pooling information and sharing it with
your partners and customers.

You can also achieve higher productivity by quickly
introducing new products to the market.

One competitive advantage that should not be
underestimated is the significance of customer
satisfaction; involving your customers early on in the
development process enables you to tailor your
products to the needs of both customers and the
marketplace.

Finally, mySAP PLM has the advantage of
being an integrated solution: product
development, quality management, asset
management, maintenance, and service
management are all integrated and the life
cycle is mapped in its entirety.


mySAP Product Lifecycle Management offers
all the functionality you need for integrated
product and asset management.
Features and functions include:
Program and Project Management

Provides advanced capabilities to plan,
manage, and control the complete product
development process.
Life-Cycle Data Management

Provides an environment for managing
specifications, bills of materials, routing and
resource data, project structures, and related
technical documentation throughout the
product life cycle.
Life-Cycle Collaboration

Supports collaborative engineering and
project management, employing XML-based
Web standards to communicate information
such as project plans, documents, and
product structures across virtual
development teams.
Quality Management

Provides integrated quality management for
all industries throughout the entire product
life cycle.
Enterprise Asset Management

Manages physical assets and equipment,
covering all components of an enterprise
asset management system.
Environment, Health and Safety

Provides a solution for environment, health,
and safety issues by enhancing business
processes to comply with government
regulations.

mySAP PLM is a complete solution.

It covers the entire life cycle from the point of view of
both product providers and asset managers.

mySAP PLM is aimed at providers of complete
solutions who develop a product for a specific
customer, manufacture and deliver this product to
the customer, and then provide service activities for
the customer once the product is live.



Products that would benefit from service offers would
be, for example, construction machinery, turbines, or
even a water treatment plant.
For example, you produce a bulldozer, modify it to
meet the customer's requirements (so that it can be
used in Alaska instead of California), and deliver it to
the customer.
You then draw up a maintenance contract with the
customer to carry out regular inspections of the
bulldozer.
Program and Project Management

Successful project management means
planning, controlling, and executing the
essential project elements in accordance
with the aims of the project.

In this respect, professional project
management is one of the most important
factors in determining the competitiveness of
a company.



Successful project management relies on
determining all processes necessary for the project
and the ability to represent these in the form of a
structure and process.
The Project System makes available basic data,
standard structures, and templates that assist in the
creation of plans for different projects.
A well structured project and clearly defined project
aims form the basis for successful planning,
monitoring, and control of the project.

Depending on the project type and the aim of
project monitoring, the project is structured in
the project system either by using the project
structure plan (PSP) and/or operations that
can be linked to a network plan through
relationships.




The project structure plan represents the
organizational structure of the project and describes
it from the point of view of phases, functions, or the
product.
The tasks to be completed are arranged
hierarchically in a project structure plan that divides
the project into manageable sections.
The individual elements of the project structure plans
are called PSP elements.
These can contain further subdivisions, depending
on the project phase.



The planning of the actual process takes
place in network planning.
The network plan describes the project flow.
The fundamental elements that make up the
network plan are operations and
relationships.

The network plans and associated
operations form the basis for planning,
analyzing and monitoring deadlines, costs,
and resources, and for the workforce,
capacities, materials, aids, and services
needed for the different tasks in project
execution.

Project time monitoring takes place in the
Project System using the options available
under scheduling and schedule planning.

The Project Planning Board provides a
graphical interface for planning and
controlling projects efficiently.

You can use the project planning board to
create, edit, and analyze data for your project
(primarily regarding schedules).

The combination of tabular data and
graphical representation means that you
have a comprehensive overview of the
project at all times.

The project planning board can be used to:
–
–
–
–
–
. Plan, check, and change schedules
. Plan, schedule, and check resources
. Determine and assign work
. Compare capacities
. Calculate costs

The central element of the project planning
board is the Gantt chart.

This consists of a tabular and graphical area
and shows both the hierarchical structure of
the project and the corresponding scheduling
situation.

You carry out work on the project in the Gantt
chart.

In addition to the PSP elements and
operations, you can display or hide additional
views such as the capacity overview or cost
overview.

Successful project management is based to
a large extent on the close monitoring of all
project processes.

Costs, resources, and schedules have to be
monitored closely so that you can identify any
deviation from the project plan at an early stage.

It is only possible to make exact statements about
the project progress, current status, and further
development if all parameters are represented along
with their significance and are compared to the
activities that have already taken place.

The Project System enables effective
planning, execution, and monitoring of the
project progress.

The program and project management key
functional area of mySAP PLM offers reports
for this.
cProjects
 In today's world, companies need powerful
solutions that allow them to employ
sophisticated project management methods
that drive speed and quality.
 They also need easy-to-use and easy-toimplement tools that allow employees to
work together to innovate, share knowledge,
and track progress.


What they don't need, however; is the
traditional stand-alone project management
.point solution - which tends to lead to
islands of information and extensive
integration efforts.
In short, companies need a different
approach: one that lets them manage
projects more effectively today, without
limiting their options for tomorrow.



To help companies address those challenges, SAP
offers SAP Collaborative Project Management.
With SAP Collaborative Project Management, you
can handle the entire range of project activities, from
concept and planning through execution and the
closing of a project, covering all project types, from
development to service projects.
Additionally, it enables companies to comply with
industry standards by implementing project
methodologies such as advanced product quality
planning (APQP).

Collaborative Project Management, realized
by cProjects, includes the management of
templates, teams, phases, quality
gates/milestones, tasks, scheduling,
interactive Gantt chart, checklists,
documents, object links, confirmation
approval and digital signature, and a control
plan.


In addition, it supports multi-project
management, the integration of Microsoft
Project (export and import), the creation of
project snapshots and simulation versions,
the assignment of substitutes for tasks, and
many more.
cProjects uses cFolders to offer tightly
integrated scenarios to jointly work on
documents and tasks with external partners.
Life-Cycle Data Management

Life-Cycle Data Management is process engineering
and logistics data within a company and across
company boundaries.

The management and changing of product and
project data dictates the most important day-to-day
tasks.

Every day, designers, work schedulers, and project
managers need a sound basis for making decisions.



Do they have immediate access to up-to-date and relevant
information?
It isn't easy - the volume and range of information that
represents a product varies from phase to phase: documents
and specifications in the design phase, material numbers,
BOMs, and routings in the planning and production phases - all
of which are fed with resource data - and finally equipment data
for organizing service and maintenance work.
This wide range of data can be managed with Life-Cycle Data
Management - the backbone of all logistical processes.



mySAP PLM offers the entire spectrum of
tools for evaluating and distributing product
and project data.
This doesn't just cut administration costs; it
systematically makes your product and
process knowledge available in all systems.
Transparent data storage and processes are
the ideal basis for making sound decisions
on introducing activities and tasks.

This global view of a product is key to
ensuring quality in all phases of the product's
life cycle.

The collaborative working environment of
Life-Cycle Data Management provides all the
key capabilities that are needed in all phases
of a product's life cycle.
Document Management
 Product ideas are often collected in the form
of drawings or descriptions.
 Functional specifications for a new product
are often compiled together with customers
in a specification catalog.
 In specifications, you describe how you want
to implement the product.

Additional documents are created with increasingly
sophisticated information technologies, such as CAx
systems, digital mock-up, and the Internet, and
models are integrated in the product design phase
from the very start.

This massive influx of information, which can take on
enormous dimensions even in the design phase, can
be stored in a variety of formats, such as paper,
audio, or visual media.
Recipe Management

In the process industry, it is necessary to
manage recipes with worldwide product and
recipe definitions, which will then be adapted
to different areas and production lines.


Recipe Management facilitates the daily
management of R&D departments, supports
efficient knowledge-sharing, and leaves time
for more creative and experimental work.
It involves the manufacturing division at an
early stage of development so that their
input, together with the knowledge of the
other departments, goes into adapting the
developed product to the production lines.
Integration

CAD tools make the design process extremely
productive by allowing to define or insert standard
parts from a vast catalog.

The mySAP PLM CAD and conversion interface
makes this data available to employees outside of
the design process at an early stage.

At the same time, designers have access to the most
up-to-date product data.
Change and Configuration Management

Most companies need to change the
technical or aesthetic features of a product
every day, and the correction of errors and
deficits nearly always affects all areas of a
company, so the potential for reducing costintensive change efforts is correspondingly
high.

mySAP PLM Life-Cycle Data Management
gives you the flexibility to design your change
processes and ensures that changes are an
integral part of operational processes.

Thus, product quality is constant in every
phase of the product's life cycle, and you
fulfill the high quality standards demanded by
product liability laws.
Product Structure Management

The initial product design, specifications,
CAD model data, materials, and BOMs are
just some of the data that describes and
structures a product.

The product structure browser is the central
navigation tool in the product structure.

It provides an overview of all product-related
information, such as:
–
–
–
–
–
. The material master
. Documents
. Bills of material (BOMs)
. Routings
. Information from classification
Life-Cycle Collaboration

Collaboration is at the core of most team activities .
be it an OEM working with members of its supply
chain to quickly and efficiently design and build a
product, or a project team trying to coordinate
activities of its different members in order to meet its
objectives.

In fact, it is a strategic priority for companies in areas
such as new product development.

Collaboration lends itself naturally to an
exchange environment by permitting
employees from different trading partners to
effectively share relevant product and project
information that is consistently and
conveniently maintained at a central location,
while keeping supporting and detailed
information within the enterprise.


mySAP PLM Life-Cycle Collaboration is
focused on new product development and
sourcing among multiple companies.
It includes the following processes:
Design Collaboration
 cFolders enable SAP customers to communicate
with their partners and suppliers over back-end
objects (for example, documents, materials, and
BOMs in SAP PLM) without exposing their ERP
system to them.
 Suppliers and partners of the SAP customer can
change or modify the BOM, document, or material
information in cFolders, and then back-end users
can integrate these changes seamlessly from
cFolders to the ERP system.
Collaborative Project Management

With SAP Collaborative Project
Management, a company can handle the
entire range of project activities, from
concept and planning through execution and
the closing of a project, covering all project
types from development to service.


Additionally, it enables companies to comply with
industry standards by implementing project
methodologies such as advanced product quality
planning (APQP).
Collaborative Project Management, realized by
cProjects, includes the management of templates,
teams, phases, quality gates/milestones, tasks,
scheduling, interactive Gantt chart, checklists,
documents, object links, confirmation approval and
digital signature, and a control plan.

In addition, it supports multi-project
management, the integration of Microsoft
Project (export and import), the creation of
project snapshots and simulation versions,
the assignment of substitutes for tasks, and
many more.
Quality Collaboration

Quality notifications are a powerful tool you can use
to handle all kinds of complaints or internal
problems.

It is possible to create notifications on the Internet
and process them in the back-end SAP system.

You may also use your own, scenario-dependent,
HTML-based forms to enter whatever data is
required for a notification or service request.

effort to improve your company's business
processes.

Continuous process improvement should be
a key element in your company's quality
policy.

Identifying problem areas, analyzing possible
problem causes, and eliminating the root
causes of these problems are important
activities in achieving this goal.

Quality Management with mySAP PLM
provides the necessary tools to improve the
quality of your products through prevention,
efficient problem management, and
evaluations.
Audit Management

In an audit, you methodically review and
examine records and activities to determine
whether the specification requirements of a
process, system, or product have been met,
and whether these requirements are suitable
to achieve the desired objectives.

you to fulfil legal requirements and enables
various scenarios for benchmarking.
Enterprise Asset Management
 Enterprise Asset Management serves asset
and plant managers, maintenance engineers,
and all those involved with the management
of physical assets.
 It provides support from the first investment
idea through procurement and start of
operation, and right on until the end of
operation and retirement of the asset.


The SAP solution for enterprise asset
management covers all components of a fully
integrated enterprise asset management
(EAM) system.
Its integrated e-procurement capability
makes it easy to order supplies and services,
and the inventory management capabilities
help improve the efficiency and performance
of the equipment of the entire plant.

Cost-effective asset management requires a detailed
understanding of the costs caused by the individual
asset, manufacturer, facility, or production site.

SAP helps to identify problem areas and analyze
their origin.

Integrated technical reporting and detailed cost
reporting help to optimize maintenance and support
decision-making on all staff levels.

The Enterprise Asset Management solution improves
the profitability of your technical assets throughout
all phases of the product's life cycle.

During the selection procedure and procurement
process, you can use evaluations of the current
asset portfolio as the basis for defining technical and
business selection criteria for new and replacement
procurement measures.

During plant operation, a complete and
reliable plant maintenance solution leads to
higher system availability and reduced
breakdown costs by means of preventive
inspections and maintenance.

Integrated plant maintenance enables more
transparent and simplified processes in
maintenance.

Therefore, material and labor costs can be
reduced with the same level of system
quality, and costs for the use of external
service providers can be optimized.

The relationship between business data and
technical information supports management
in making decisions about repair,
refurbishment, and scrapping of technical
assets.

Enterprise Asset Management is a complete
solution for achieving optimal condition of
assets with the least cost and the best
possible asset performance for all technical
assets within your company.
Investment Planning and Design

The capital engaged in modern production
companies is considerable.

Most Enterprise Asset Management (EAM)
systems would see the cost of an asset as
being the costs for executed maintenance
work and spare parts consumed.
Investment Planning and Design

In SAP EAM, you can work with both eyes
open when it comes to costs.

An asset defined as a technical asset will
automatically also appear as a financial
asset and be subject to proper depreciation
management.
Procurement and Construction

The process of building new production
equipment will always involve a number of
parties, including departments within your
company and external parties like machine
manufacturers, contractors, and suppliers of
components.


mySAP PLM Environment, Health and Safety
offers help in the following areas:
Product Safety

Your company works with and produces
many different products.

Some of them might be risky to handle, so
you want to make sure that everybody
involved knows about the products anywhere, anytime.
Specification management forms the basis
for most other SAP EH&S functions.
 It allows you to create a specification to
describe physical or virtual entities or
objects, such as substances (pure
substances, preparations, mixtures,
polymers), agents (noise, dust, physical
strain, pollution), packaging (bottle, barrel,
cardboard box, pallet), and dangerous goods
classifications.
Phrase management enables information to
be handled effectively in standardized text
elements in several languages.

By defining phrase sets, you can assign
phrases to the individual characteristics of
the specification properties.

Report generation and report
management support the generation,
management, and release of reports such as
material safety data sheets and labels.

Report shipping is used to ship the
completed reports in compliance with the
applicable legal requirements.

Shipping can be triggered automatically from
Sales Order Management, by a datecontrolled check routine, or if a report has
changed as a result of significant changes
made to specifications or phrases.

Via the data exchange interface, EH&S
objects such as specifications, phrases,
reports, report templates, property trees, and
sources can be interfaced with SAP and nonSAP systems.

The EH&S Expert and EH&S Easy Expert functions
for determining secondary data provide an interface
for deriving data automatically.

EH&S Expert is a rule-based system that calculates
secondary data from existing specification data in
the SAP EH&S system and verifies specification data
for correctness, based on sets of rules and a
Boolean algorithm-driven rule engine.



Hazardous Substance Management
If hazardous substances are used in your
enterprise, you have to protect your
employees and the environment from the
hazards caused by these substances.
This is irrespective of whether your company
produces or sells hazardous substances, or
simply uses hazardous substances that it
purchases.


Furthermore, you also have to observe
numerous rules and regulations worldwide;
therefore, efficient hazardous substance
management is becoming more and more
important.
In addition, high safety and environmental
standards improve your company.s image,
increase your market opportunities, and
reduce costs and risks.


Tremcard management manages single or
group tremcards (according to ADR marginal
10385).

Tremcards are automatically printed in the
languages of all countries the goods pass
through and the driver's language.


Dangerous goods-related data is integrated
into mySAP Supply Chain Management
documents.
The delivery note and packing list are
enhanced by printing dangerous-goodsrelated data for each item containing
materials that are classified as dangerous
goods according to the appropriate
regulation.

The dangerous goods regulatory data

Waste Management

If your enterprise generates or disposes of
waste, you are required to comply with many
different laws and regulations, for example,
40CFR in USA, Kreislaufwirtschafts- und
Abfallgesetz (KrW-/AbfG) in Germany, or the
Environmental Protection Act and Codes of
Practice in the UK.

Management with mySAP PLM Environment
Health and Safety support you in conforming
to the law.

Just like the other mySAP PLM Environment,
Health and Safety capabilities, waste
management is fully integrated in the mySAP
Business Suite solutions at the relevant
points.

This means you can use SAP EH&S to
support all your disposal processes, monitor,
and automate your compliance with all
relevant national and international laws and
regulations, and distribute the costs
proportionally among the cost centers in your
enterprise that generated the waste.


In many cases, as a waste generator or waste
disposer, you are required to take into account not
only laws and regulations on waste, but also on
hazardous substances and dangerous goods, and
industrial hygiene and safety and occupational
health.

management, industrial hygiene and safety, and
occupational health provide you with comprehensive

Industrial Hygiene and Safety

In your company, many people work in many
different areas.

In these areas, employees are exposed to
influences that could damage their health as
well as the health of your customers, which
reduce the effectiveness of your company.
Industrial Hygiene and Safety
 It is the task of industrial hygiene and safety
to discover and control, or even to eliminate,
these influences.

Occupational Health
 A healthy employee is one of the most
valuable resources a company has. Keeping
employees fit and supporting them when
they are sick or injured is a good means of
motivating them.
 Most companies provide health surveillance
examinations in order to recognize, treat, and
prevent potential health risks.
Occupational Health
 By doing so, the company not only makes sure every
employee is being cared for healthwise, but the
company also complies with many laws and
regulations.
 This used to be very time-consuming.
 With mySAP PLM EH&S Occupational Health,
however, company occupational physicians have a
tool that will support them in their tasks most
effectively.

mySAP PLM EH&S Occupational Health
enables the physician to obtain and store
information on all activities related to the
physician's daily tasks, such as:
–
Carrying out health surveillance protocols
–
–
–

Recording minor injuries, vaccinations, and
consultations
Making diagnoses
Printing medical certificates for employees

confidentiality. mySAP PLM EH&S
Occupational Health takes this into account
and gives only employees with appropriate
authorization access to confidential medical
data.

Occupational Health can be run on a
separate system instance.
