AGENDA

09:00-09:30 am Opening Insights – SAP’s Vision for Digital Manufacturing

Introduction to SAP’s Vision for Digital Manufacturing. Learn about SAP’s future direction in digital manufacturing.

Speaker: Sam Castro, SAP

09:30-10:15 am Business Strategies for and Financial Management of Digital Manufacturing

Digital production, x-production, and AI-supported production are buzzwords of the future, with production processes becoming more flexible, intelligent, robust, and automated. But is it also more cost-effective? Are financial performance levers always transparent? In addition to smooth operational processes, successful manufacturing is fully controllable financially.

We show how the new approaches to production control can also be successfully managed from a financial perspective, plus the latest trends in production management and what makes successful production companies different from those that are not successful.

Speaker: René Linsner and Tony Klimas

10:15-10:30 am BREAK

10:30-11:15 am Digital Manufacturing – The new Baseline for ERP Integration

With SAP expanding its footprint deeper into Manufacturing Execution, it is an excellent opportunity to revisit the various Integration Points between Digital Manufacturing (DM) and the SAP landscape. How will integration look like with Private and Public Cloud? How about integrating DM with operational and strategic planning like PP/DS and IBP?  After reviewing various integration points, we discuss challenges and opportunities and how we can integrate DM into the larger SAP roadmap.

Speaker: Bernd Baier and Alexander Paulus
