This corporate training program focuses on advanced planning, finite scheduling, capacity optimization, demand management, and real-time production control.
Through expert-led live sessions, hands-on exercises, and practical industry scenarios, participants gain in-depth knowledge of planning strategies, heuristics, pegging, alerts, and detailed scheduling processes. The course helps manufacturing and supply chain teams improve resource utilization, reduce production bottlenecks, and ensure on-time delivery.
Our training is fully customizable to match your organization’s business processes. With flexible scheduling, corporate-focused curriculum, and post-training support, Multisoft Virtual Academy ensures measurable skill enhancement and real business impact.
This program is ideal for Production Planners, Supply Chain Managers, SAP Consultants, and Operations Professionals aiming to maximize the power of SAP PPDS for optimized production planning.
SAP PPDS – Production Planning & Detailed Scheduling training teaches you how to plan and schedule manufacturing efficiently using SAP S/4HANA PPDS. You learn to convert demand into production plans, create and manage orders, balance capacity, and sequence operations to reduce delays and improve throughput. The training also covers planning heuristics, pegging, alerts, and exception handling for faster decision-making. It’s ideal for production planners, supply chain teams, and SAP consultants working in manufacturing environments.
- What is PPDS and where it fits in SAP S/4HANA manufacturing?
- PPDS vs classic PP/MRP - key differences
- Planning levels - strategic, tactical, operational
- Core PPDS objects and terminology (orders, resources, modes, pegging)
- Demand sources (sales orders, forecasts, planned independent requirements)
- From demand to supply - planning to execution
- Make-to-Stock vs Make-to-Order in PPDS
- Planning versions and planning scenarios
- Material master settings relevant for PPDS
- BOM and routing - impact on planning and scheduling
- Work centers vs resources - concept mapping
- Production versions and recipes
- Calendars, shifts, breaks, and operating times
- Integration with SAP PP (production orders, process orders)
- Integration touchpoints with MM, SD, QM, PM (high level)
- Data consistency and planning relevance checks
- Demand inputs and prioritization
- Requirement strategies and consumption logic (conceptual)
- Demand visibility and requirement evaluation
- MRP vs PPDS planning runs - concept and use
- Planning methods - reorder point, forecast-based, time-phased (overview)
- Planned order creation and conversion principles
- Lot sizing and lead time fundamentals
- Planned orders, production/process orders - lifecycle
- Order parameters affecting scheduling (dates, quantities, priorities)
- Order rescheduling and order changes
- Fixing and freezing orders for plan stability
- Capacity evaluation - load vs available capacity
- Finite vs infinite scheduling concepts
- Capacity leveling approaches
- Bottleneck identification and resolution methods
- Operation scheduling principles (forward/backward scheduling)
- Sequence-dependent setup times - concept and impact
- Scheduling parameters - floats, constraints, overlaps
- Dispatching rules and sequencing strategies (basic to advanced)
- What heuristics are and when to use them?
- Common heuristic planning scenarios
- Heuristic execution logic - priorities and selection criteria
- Practical planning run examples (planned orders, rescheduling)
- What the optimizer does and typical use cases?
- Key objectives - minimize lateness, setups, maximize utilization
- Constraints and optimization parameters (high-level understanding)
- When heuristics are better than optimizer (decision guidance)?
- Pegging relationships - demand-supply links
- Dynamic vs fixed pegging concepts
- Using pegging to manage priorities and shortages
- Impact of changes in demand or supply on pegging
- Typical exceptions - shortages, capacity overloads, late orders
- Alert monitoring concepts and corrective actions
- Planning KPIs - schedule adherence, utilization, lead time reduction
- From planned orders to production/process orders
- Release and dispatch readiness
- Coordination with shop floor execution (conceptual alignment)
- Key planning views and evaluation approaches
- Capacity and order situation analysis
- Pegging-based analysis for root-cause and prioritization
- Planning snapshots and scenario comparison (conceptual)
