1. SAP Best Practices for Automotive Japan V1.604 What’s New

2. Short Overview of What’s New (1 of 2)
Content Architecture Change
Further Lower TCO by Layering Approach
More Coverage in Baseline Scope Comparing with Auto JP V1.600
Reuse of Discrete Manufacturing Scenarios
A tool that enables partners to select, personalize and activate SAP Best Practices scenarios in an SAP system, thereby reducing the time and cost of implementation. In addition partners can create own business content using this tool as an development and deployment platform. The implementation assistant includes documentation about configuration settings and installation steps as well as the instructions for automatically or manually implementing best-practice functionality.

3. Content Architecture Change – Layering Approach
Divide Best Practices Automotive Solution into 4 layers:
Baseline Layer : Basic Layer & Foundation Layer
Turnkey Layer: Financials, Manufacturing, Service , Trade
Industry Cluster Layer: Discrete Manufacturing, Consumer Product, Service
Industry Layer: Automotive, etc.
Lower TCO for customer and partner in different market segments, due to flexible “pick & choose approach”.
Further Lower TCO by Layering Approach

4. Content Architecture Change – How Technical Layers Map to Business Layers
The new content related architecture provides more flexibility and usability for solution deployment:
 Flexible Deployment of SAP Best Practices Baseline Package with “industry flavour“
 Flexible Definition and Deployment of Turnkey Packages targeting implementation times < 60 days providing Turnkey Package = L0 + Foundation Layer (for one or more industry cluster) + specific BBs from BL Library (Layer 2)
SAP BP Baseline Package for <indutry cluster>
Automotive Industry Layer

17. New Scenarios
SAP Best Practices for Automotive Japan V1.604 provides the following new industry-specific scenarios:
A80 - Lean Manufacturing - Heijunka Leveling

18. Lean Manufacturing - Heijunka Leveling (A80)
Purpose and Benefits:
Purpose
The scenario shows how existing tools and functions of the SAP ERP portfolio can be used to convert uneven customer pulls into an even and predictable manufacturing schedule (Heijunka leveling) to enable upstream Kanban supply with SAP Kanban tools according to lean Toyota Production System (TPS) principles , it focuses on a lean production control method within a repetitive manufacturing environment: using Kanban processing for lean replenishment.
Benefits
Heijunka technique levels uneven customer demands to even production schedule on final assembly line, subsequently, production process at a constant and predictable rate prevents waste caused by the fluctuations in performance.
To adopt sequence schedule with setup time optimization instead of equally distribution dispatching, it gets more efficient to avoid muda (waste).
Just in time delivery via Kanban pull fulfills lean planning and manufacturing principles.
