What Is Manufacturing Workbench?
Manufacturing Workbench software is an APS add-on explicitly designed to enhance SAP ERP (ECC or S/4HANA) environments. It is suitable for mid-size to global enterprises managing complex production. The solution achieves real-time planning by operating on all materials, labor, and plant capacities simultaneously, which goes beyond standard Material Requirements Planning (MRP). This approach, combined with optimization for sequence-dependent setups, drastically increases the efficiency of production resources, allowing OEE levels to exceed.
