Logistics: Full Coverage

What logically belongs together is logistically connected. Sales and distribution, materials management, production, quality management, plant maintenance, and project management are integrated by the R/3 System into flexible, universal process chains. Powerful workflows improve efficiency and customer orientation.

In Release 3.0, SAP has further enhanced the logistics components, expanding the logistics area into a complete solution for all types of production. Whether your concern is discrete manufacturing or batch-oriented process manufacturing, or make-to-stock, make-to-order, or variant production, the R/3 System Release 3.0 offers a complete and integrated solution. A solution that ranges from intelligent order processing, production planning and production up to powerful information and early warning systems.

The variety of configurable interfaces, used by certified software products for mobile data entry, CAD, PDC, and warehouse control to communicate with the logistics applications, transforms the R/3 System into an open solution that integrates all areas of a company.
Find out about the functionality of Release 3.0 for yourself: for example, the R/3 production solution for the process industry, the new Service Management module, and the handling of variants from sales through production. Repetitive manufacturing, electronic Kanban, control station functions at all levels, and plant maintenance based on counter readings are just a few of the applications we'd like to discuss with you.
