The main concerns of an organization when adopting a supply chain management solution are the improvement of customer satisfaction and cost reduction.

Agile helps your company manage the supply chain in an integrated manner. SAP SCM decentralizes the purchase orders and simplifies processes, improves the return of material goods, promotes good planning, generates operational and business efficiency, and enables the delivery of services to the extent these aspects move in a process that goes from supplier to client.

SAP Advanced Planner and Optimizer, APO, is a key element within the mySAP.com application and has become a technical basis for several other solutions. 

It consists of eight levels of applications: network design, detailed scheduling, scheduling transport and vehicles planning, overall availability, supply chain collaboration, and supply chain, demand, and production planning.

Basically, it aims to increase the organization’s performance through real-time updates on the customers’ demand, promoting the improvement of production planning, pricing, scheduling, and product transportation. 

 Supply Network Planning, SNP, is a component of SAP APO. Its goal is to determine the optimal production quantities in order to meet the demand, stock limits, as well as the time lost when switching from one product to another.
