The accelerating dynamism of the markets poses ever more stringent requirements for the quality of material and information flows. The manufacture of multi-variant products frequently leads to company/sector-specific idiosyncrasies, constituting important influencing variables for synergizing the individual success-relevant factors involved along the logistical chain. It is vital for every company to harmonize these separate factors for holistic efficacy, so as to upgrade its own competitiveness.

OSCo supports you in developing up-to-the-future logistical solutions with its team of highly qualified consultants, who will provide top-level analyses, presentations and business management appraisals for your processes on a cross-divisional, supra-company basis. So as then to join with you in developing and implementing specifically customized solutions.

OSCO's approach to consulting

When introducing SAP's standard software, our principal concern is not simply to take over existing procedures, but to identify potentials for improvement and translate them into efficacious reality. This maxim constitutes the core of our consultancy approach.

For project coordination, we utilize the business scenarios offered from SAP AG, which cover all function areas along the extended logistical chain:

• Sales, distribution, manufacturing and production planning

• Materials management, inventory management, procurement

• Production control

• Maintenance

• Transport planning

• Warehousing

These function areas are supported by the following SAP components:

SAP R/3, in particular with these modules:

• R/3 Production Planning and Control (PP)

• R/3 Sales and Distribution (SD)

• R/3 Materials Management (MM)

• R/3 Process Manufacturing (PP-PI)

plus

• SAP APO (Advanced Planning and Optimizer)

• SAP BW (Business Information Warehouse)

• SAP LES (Logistics Execution System)

Within the framework of this consultancy approach, OSCo offers top-quality solutions which cater not only to the idiosyncrasies of a make-to-order production process, but also to the necessity for anonymous make-to stock manufacture of not unambiguously described products. This requirement profile is encountered in sectors of industry with multi-variant manufacture of geometrically described products (dimensional variance) as well as in the bottling/canning industry (filling variance).

OSCo offers a special quality of logistical solutions – particularly for the following sectors:

• Metalworking

• Plastics

• Paper

• Glass

• Building materials

• Timber

• Clothing

• Paints and varnishes

• Food and beverages

plus for the manufacture of multi-variant products in general.

Our solutional approaches:

• Reduced administrative outlay thanks to standardized basic-data processes.
• The multiplicity of variants demanded by the sales markets will, if traditional basic data are used, lead to a confusingly unmanageable quantity of material master records, parts lists and work schedules planning recipes.
  To avoid the substantial administrative and operating costs thus entailed, OSCo has developed solutions in this regard, which significantly reduce administrative outlay and the fault-susceptibility of the concerned processes by means of program-supported standardization of basic-data processes.
• Rule-based generation of parts lists and work schedules will in this context downsize basic-data and updating outlay, enabling product-cost controlling to be carried out effectively and with meticulous accounted accuracy.
• Optimized production control and quality management
• Often, sectoral/company-specific requirements are obstacles to the use of standard business management software in the production process. This is why our OSCo consultants configure and expand your R/3 system so as to ensure that it is precisely matched to your own particular requirements. We do not indulge in modifications that might impair the system's release capability.
