Customer

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

Challenge

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

Our Contribution

After analyzing the already implemented SAP MRS solution, the LeverX team proposed to change the solution architecture and create three servers instead of one. In their existing setup, one system was used to create, maintain, and change orders, as well as for planning. We implemented a scalable solution to transition to a new system landscape, reducing the load on the current system while avoiding 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 team integrated the developed solution with a mobile app based on SAP Work Manager, as well as with the MRO module.
