The solution allowed the client to save about 15 minutes per Material.
Customer
Entegris is a global leader in advanced materials science. Their SAP PLM journey began back in 2015 and continued with enhancements to their platform via LeverX BOM/Material Master Extension and Allocation Tool Solution (BMAX) described below.
Challenge
Improving the time to value was a key business driver in the decision to implement the BMAX tool solution. Entegris desired a cost-effective, adaptable tool that works within the SAP PLM suite vs. a stand-alone solution.
Solution
With a core emphasis on increasing the speed of new product launches while reducing the process of Material creation and extension from days to minutes, Entegris turned to the BMAX tool solution from LeverX.
Challenge
In the initial PLM implementation, the focus was on eliminating system silos and isolated information that was causing errors and lost time within product development. When a successful SAP PLM system was established, it was time to focus on improving business processes around the solution via BMAX.
Solution Description
BMAX is a tool that, with the help of a rules engine, automates the creation and extension of Material Master and BOMs in operations. When you define rules per governance, BMAX executes them with a single click.
The solution allowed the client to save about 15 minutes per Material.
Key Benefits of BMAX Implementation for the Client
Key benefits Entegris has achieved from BMAX:
Allowed them to immediately roll out data field changes across the organization with rule changes.
Automated the Master Master creation AND extension process which was formerly time-consuming and open to error.
Reduced the time it takes to create material.
Built data governance controls into the Material Master creation process.
SAP PLM helps to make pharmaceutical production more effective and with lower risk.
PROJECT SCOPE
It is possible with mobile maintenance scenarios and two SAP solutions, SAP Work Manager (SAP WM) и SAP Asset Manager (SAP AM). They provide access to information on asset statuses and allow you to maintain them comprehensively.
SAP WM is a mobile application with wider functionality that offers both on-premise and cloud hosting capabilities.
SAP AM is a more modern cloud-based solution that can be integrated with innovative SAP Cloud Platform IoT.
Both solutions help to improve enterprise asset productivity with constant monitoring, analytics, and timely diagnostics.
