SAP APO and BMW Motoren: Revving Up
Overview BMW requires the right information in the right place at the right time. Fast pace and high levels of service are critical to meeting the needs of BMW Steyr's customers (BMW car assembly plants), so they must be designed into the production plant processes. The BMW Group also plans to cut product development times in half. BMW's Steyr plant is relying on its proven SAP platform to make these ambitious goals come true. From 1996 to 1999, it built an SAP-based system infrastructure that now handles sales order processing, production planning and control, financial accounting, machine management, personnel administration, and parts of quality management.
