Aerospace SAP Production Planning Case Studies

Client: A 2,500-employee avionics manufacturer with $400M annual revenue.

Challenge: The client's legacy MRP system could not handle complex aerospace BOMs, leading to 15% schedule variance. They needed Aerospace SAP Production Planning to support AS9100 compliance and multi-site coordination.

Solution: Smartbrain.io deployed a team of 2 SAP architects and 5 developers over 14 weeks. We implemented SAP S/4HANA PP, configured variant configuration for custom parts, and integrated with SAP PI for legacy data. The methodology included a 2-week discovery and agile sprints.

Results: The project was delivered on time and 5% under budget. Post go-live, the client saw a 28% reduction in planning cycle time and 99.8% inventory accuracy.

Client: A leading MRO service provider with 1,200 employees across 3 hangars.

Challenge: Inefficient capacity planning caused aircraft grounding delays. The client required Aerospace SAP Production Planning to optimize maintenance schedules, facing a 20% backlog increase.

Solution: Smartbrain.io provided a dedicated team of 4 consultants. We configured SAP PP/DS (Detailed Scheduling) and integrated it with SAP PM. The project included data migration of 500,000+ equipment records using SAP Migration Cockpit.

Results: The solution reduced maintenance turnaround time by 18%. The client achieved full visibility into resource availability and reduced overtime costs by 12% within 4 months.

Client: A defense contractor with 5,000 employees and strict ITAR compliance needs.

Challenge: The client was running an outdated SAP ECC version with customized production transactions. They needed to migrate to SAP S/4HANA while preserving critical Aerospace SAP Production Planning functionality.

Solution: Smartbrain.io executed a brownfield migration over 16 weeks. A team of 3 Solution Architects and 6 developers refactored custom code for HANA compatibility and implemented Fiori apps for production supervisors. We ran 3 mock conversions to ensure data integrity.

Results: The migration achieved zero critical defects during go-live. Reporting performance improved by 4x, and the client realized $200k annual savings in maintenance fees.
