Media SAP Production Planning Case Studies

Client: A 5,000-employee media conglomerate with $2B annual revenue.

Challenge: The client's Media SAP Production Planning system was fragmented across 4 regional instances, causing inconsistent scheduling and 20% resource overlap. They struggled to consolidate production data for their print and digital media divisions.

Solution: Smartbrain.io deployed 2 Solution Architects and 5 developers to consolidate systems into a single SAP S/4HANA instance. We utilized SAP Migration Cockpit to transfer 1.2M master data records and configured MRP Live for real-time planning across all media units.

Results: The project was delivered in 14 weeks. The client achieved a 35% improvement in scheduling accuracy and reduced excess inventory costs by $1.5M annually.

Client: A mid-market pharmaceutical company with 1,200 employees.

Challenge: Legacy systems failed to track batch expiration, leading to $800k in annual write-offs. They required a compliant Media SAP Production Planning solution for GxP environments to manage formulation and packaging.

Solution: A dedicated team of 4 SAP consultants implemented SAP PP with Batch Management and Quality Management integration. The project included 3 phases: Blueprint, Realization, and Go-Live over 16 weeks, focusing on validation protocols.

Results: Post go-live, the client achieved 100% traceability for all production batches. Write-offs were reduced by 92%, and the system passed FDA validation with zero findings.

Client: An automotive supplier with 3 plants and 800 employees.

Challenge: The client needed to migrate from a legacy AS/400 system to Media SAP Production Planning to support Just-in-Time (JIT) delivery. The legacy system caused 15% missed delivery slots due to poor capacity visibility.

Solution: Smartbrain.io executed a brownfield migration using SAP S/4HANA. We configured Repetitive Manufacturing and Kanban controls tailored to their production line. The team migrated 500GB of transactional data with zero data loss.

Results: The new system went live 1 week ahead of schedule. Delivery slot adherence improved to 98%, and production planning cycles shortened from 24 hours to 4 hours.
