SAP Scheduling & Shop Floor

Fragmented supplier data. Inconsistent performance. Missed savings.

Current Solution: Warehouse Management

Stop the Bleed in Scheduling & Shop Floor Performance

Unlock capacity, improve throughput, and recover profit leaking from your SAP-driven production operations.

You can’t optimize what you can’t see. If your shop floor is running on spreadsheets and after-the-fact updates, you’re flying blind—and it’s costing you in missed schedules, lost revenue, and bloated inventory. Reveal helps turn your SAP system into a real-time engine for production efficiency, throughput, and cash recovery.

📞 Your shop floor is sitting on untapped capacity. Let’s unlock it.

Why It Matters to Executives

Production inefficiency is silent, costly—and entirely avoidable.

Most SAP-run organizations can’t fully trust what their systems are telling them about scheduling or capacity. When work centers are disconnected from SAP—and visibility relies on paper logs or manual batch entries—production planning becomes reactive, inefficient, and costly. What you don’t see is driving margin erosion and operational drag.

If your teams can’t rely on SAP to schedule realistically and adjust in real time, you’re not just missing deadlines. You’re leaking profit.

Common Business Challenges

Most manufacturers face predictable—and fixable—patterns of failure:

  • Production schedules built on outdated or incomplete data
  • Work centers overloaded due to lack of capacity-based planning
  • Missed ship dates and expediting costs from inaccurate schedule attainment
  • Delayed feedback loops between execution and planning
  • Spreadsheets and tribal knowledge overriding SAP’s logic

SAP has the tools to fix all of this—if it’s used the right way.

What We Solve

Execution gaps—not software gaps—are driving your inefficiencies. When SAP scheduling and shop floor control are underused, it’s rarely a system limitation—it’s a process and behavior issue. Reveal eliminates the root causes:

  • Manual workarounds that undermine system-driven scheduling logic
  • Poor or missing master data (routings, work centers, production versions)
  • Disconnected planning that doesn’t reflect real-world capacity constraints
  • Lack of visibility into current production status or material availability

We help your teams trust and use SAP the way it was intended—to drive execution, not just report on it.

Business Benefits Executives Can Expect

When shop floor scheduling is aligned with SAP—and SAP is aligned with the business—results follow:

  • 18% increase in throughput through activated finite scheduling and work center alignment
  • 22% improvement in schedule adherence via real-time visibility and proactive exception handling
  • $9M reduction in operating costs by eliminating manual rework and inefficiencies
  • Shorter lead times and fewer missed deliveries with synchronized planning and execution
  • Improved working capital by aligning material availability with realistic production timing
A $2B manufacturer boosted throughput 20% and cut $8M in costs in 6 months by activating SAP scheduling and aligning capacity with Reveal.

Reveal’s Approach: How It Works

Real results come from real behavior change. Reveal’s proprietary oVo® methodologyDiscover. Educate. Adopt. Sustain.—turns SAP from an underused system into a performance enabler.

  • Discover: Surface root causes of schedule misses and capacity mismatches
  • Educate: Equip planners, schedulers, and supervisors with role-based knowledge
  • Adopt: Replace workarounds with sustainable, system-driven processes
  • Sustain: Reinforce gains with digital learning and performance monitoring tools

We don’t just optimize SAP. We optimize how people use it—so performance sticks.

Why SAP—and Why Reveal

SAP has the scheduling tools. Reveal makes them work for your business.

Whether you’re on ECC or S/4HANA, SAP includes powerful capabilities like finite capacity scheduling, ATP-based order confirmation, and real-time shop floor feedback. In S/4, tools like the embedded PP/DS engine and Fiori-based planning apps offer even greater control—if properly activated.

Reveal helps you harness this power without custom code, replatforming, or system overhauls. We make the SAP you already own pay off.

Q&A

Q

How can SAP improve production scheduling and shop floor execution?

SAP and S/4HANA Insights
A

SAP provides powerful tools—like embedded PP/DS and the Advanced Scheduling Board in S/4HANA—that enable finite scheduling tied to actual resource capacity. When properly activated and used, these capabilities align planning with real-time shop floor constraints, allowing manufacturers to improve schedule accuracy, reduce rework, and increase delivery performance.

Q

Why do manufacturers still struggle with scheduling if they already use SAP?

SAP and S/4HANA Insights
A

Most SAP-run companies underutilize what they already own. Many teams bypass SAP’s scheduling tools in favor of spreadsheets, tribal knowledge, or bolt-on solutions—causing misalignment between planning and execution. Reveal addresses this by enabling full adoption of SAP-native capabilities and building confidence in system-driven processes through the oVo® methodology.

Q

What are the business benefits of optimizing SAP shop floor scheduling?

SAP and S/4HANA Insights
A

By optimizing scheduling within SAP, manufacturers can expect to increase on-time delivery rates by up to 30%, reduce production delays, and improve labor utilization. Reveal clients often unlock millions in working capital by preventing premature starts and minimizing unnecessary WIP inventory—driving measurable impact on EBITDA and customer satisfaction.
