SAP Supply Chain: Digital Manufacturing Cloud
Market trends are driving changes within manufacturing. It is more important than ever to explore new opportunities with automation and flexible operations for enhanced productivity.
Digital Manufacturing Cloud Defined
Digital manufacturing cloud (DMC) is a cloud-based manufacturing execution system providing a relationship between production and business within supply chain management. It provides the ability to access software from any web browser. DMC optimizes manufacturing performance with integrated production execution, greater visibility, and analysis to meet the high demands of today’s market. By integrating manufacturing and business systems, cost effective and high-quality resources can be used. Some core characteristics are the intuitive user interfaces and modern process-orientated features.
Features include:
- Cloud deployment
- Visibility across the top floor and shop floor
- Key performance indicators and analytics
- Detailed execution of production processes.
Leveraging data helps with performance monitoring. It can detect production-related issues and help trace issues to the root cause, enabling manufacturing operations to be more efficient and scalable. The ability to share information in real time and use advanced analytics to support decision-making is a game changer. It allows traceability, increasing both efficiency and scalability.
