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.

Manufacturing Workbench Features
The system supports sophisticated lights out and autonomous scheduling by incorporating AI and self-learning algorithms. This capability allows for rapid simulation and optimization of planning scenarios with minimal human input. Users can automate complex decision-making, ensuring continuous operation and maximizing output from the detailed planning system.
Manufacturing Workbench features interactive multi-resource simultaneous planning, which is vital for complex production environments. The software handles detailed scheduling across all resource constraints unlike standard ERP planning tools. This ensures achievable schedules by effectively resolving bottlenecks and capacity conflicts in real-time.
The system uses mathematical solvers for advanced optimization processes. It automatically carries out simple sequence optimizations to minimize setup times and optimizes capacity planning. This focused functionality ensures continuous flow and aids in permanent lead time reduction across the manufacturing floor.
This specialized functionality is critical for industries relying on Manufacturing Workbench software for process and batch production. It enables the efficient management of production campaigns, optimizing sequences and changeovers to maximize throughput. Campaign planning minimizes operational downtime and is necessary for complex manufacturing environments.
The system includes essential optimization tools for handling sensitive materials and resources within process manufacturing. Core elements include ‘Blending Optimisation’ for material mixes and ‘Shelf Life Planning and Monitoring’ to manage perishable inventory. It also supports ‘Storage Tank and Container Planning’ for resource allocation and management.
