Challenges:
- PO process too complex and cumbersome with lots of redundancy
- Minimizing warehousing costs with on time delivery and critical spares
- Making the most of maintenance teams´ valuable time
- Workforce growing and changing due to construction, with labor having less experience and hours not getting tracked to specific work orders
Solution:
- Simplified screens with pushbuttons, unnecessary fields removed, eliminating clutter
- Create and change PO put onto ONE screen and screen split so user could see their personal settings
- Customize a launch pad based on user role. When user logs into SAP, they'll see these push buttons to provide instant access to transactions without having to memorize codes. Using our Developer Toolkit, a Business Analyst was able to create this screen in just 20 minutes!
- The Planning and Scheduling Console allows users to monitor and manage work orders from only ONE screen
Results:
- Lead operators learned how to input notifications in 30 minutes
- Quick development - PM was implemented in less than one month
