Norm Fasteners has taken a groundbreaking step in its digital transformation journey by implementing an SAP advanced Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) module – integrating the technology into its cold forming production process.
Designed to deliver high performance production planning, SAP PP/DS enables manufacturers to create optimised schedules by considering capacity constraints and ‘real time’ operational needs. Fully integrated with SAP S/4HANA, the system supports order-based production, enhances on time delivery, as well as significantly boosts planning accuracy and efficiency.
Selim Göksu, head of fasteners at Norm Fasteners, explains: “With the implementation of SAP PP/DS, we aim to make production planning more agile and responsive to dynamic customer demands. The system enables detailed, capacity aware scheduling tailored to product specific operations, ensuring both punctual delivery and high production efficiency.”
Selim also emphasises the impact of reduced manual intervention: “By minimising manual steps in the planning process, we’ve accelerated decision making and reduced error rates. The simulation and optimisation capabilities of SAP PP/DS enables us to manage short-term production planning faster and with greater precision. This marks a major step forward in our digitalisation and optimisation efforts.”
