Executive Summary
- SAP consulting is in need of independent and unbiased input.
- A steady stream of SAP failures is evidence of this.
- This is what our SAP consulting is all about.

- SAP DP Tuning
- Forecasting in SAP ERP
- Parameter Optimization (Things like Lot Sizing, Safety Stock, Reorder Points and Rounding Values) from the Overall Product Location Database Perspective
- Explanation of MRP (both in terms of its functions, but also in terms of its assumptions)
- Connecting the Dots in the Relationship Between Forecasting and Supply Planning
- Emphasizing the Lead Time Component
Combing Company Exposure and Writing for Our SAP Consulting
We have been able to gain exposure to many clients and see how they run MRP and perform forecasting, and we have a strong appreciation for the common shortcomings in how companies employ MRP (as well as other supply planning methods like optimization) and forecasting in SAP. We combine this real-life exposure with the theory around SAP demand planning and supply planning. Our observation is that most consulting work in SAP is in either systems or very much from the business perspective.
Our backgrounds combine both of these essential backgrounds, but in addition, we add extensive MRP and forecasting testing experience. This allows us to figure out where the largest opportunities for improvement of SAP lay at any client.
