What is SAP Event Management?
It is an application that supports managing events between and within companies. It supports the following activities:
- Plan your process
- Execute your plan
- Sense deviations to your plan in real time
- Respond to deviations to your plan in real time
- Continually monitor deviations and process performance
What does it do for you?
- Exception based management: Can manage your processes by exception
- Alerts through SMS, email, Fax, alerts, UWL
- Adaptability: Allows you to recognize exceptions and optimize your process to help eliminate or reduce the impact of exceptions
- Integration through actions, workflows
- Visibility: Gives you and your suppliers or customers visibility
- Process, asset, plan and performance visibility
The right information to the right people!!!
All this leads to:
- increased customer satisfaction
- reduced costs due to minimizing unknowns which allows you to “buffer” less in terms of materials and time
- reduced time to react and make visible an exception
- have transparency over distributed processes
- process improvement through supply chain partner performance measuring
How does it work?
- A business process is known as an Event Handler (EH)
- It includes attributes and status information
- Planned Milestones and expected measurements are loaded to the plan
- Manual or Automatic actual events and measurements are posted to the EH and compared to the planned values
- Attachments can be posted with the event
- Responses are allowed
