Customer

A large steel manufacturing and mining company and one of the biggest steel producers.

CHALLENGE

The customer had difficulties achieving their business goals. It was caused by the solution's poor planning results, system misconfiguration, and underperformance. LeverX Group's mission was to audit the SAP MRS solution integrated with the customer IT infrastructure. The solution serves for the planning and distribution of human and productive resources.

Our Contribution

After analyzing the already implemented SAP MRS solution, the LeverX Group team proposed to change the solution architecture and create three servers instead of one. We implemented a scalable solution: before, one system was used for creating, maintaining, changing orders, and planning. The transition to a new system landscape reduced the load on the current system and helped to avoid using third-party solutions when planning repairs.

Our team configured and implemented SAP MRS to solve the following issues:

To obtain reliable information on working hours for technical maintenance, equipment inspection, and repair by performers (shop-floor maintenance personnel, maintenance department personnel)
To obtain reliable information on working hours for technical maintenance, equipment inspection, and repair by teams
To configure capacity leveling
To establish a repair schedule

Moreover, the LeverX Group team integrated the developed solution with a mobile app based on SAP Work Manager as well as with the MRO module.
