Comparison between capabilities of Beas Manufacturing system and the SAP production module

Which system should you choose to manage production, the basic SAP system production module or the Beas Manufacturing system for shop floor management and complex production processes? Is the basic production module sufficient or is an advanced production management system necessary for your company?

Only a thorough specification of your needs and required capabilities for the production process and production floor management will make it possible for you to choose the suitable solution for your company needs.

The table presents the capabilities of the SAP production model versus the Beas Manufacturing system for production floor management. Examining your needs for production management against the capabilities of the systems will enable you to choose the most suitable solution.

We recommend examining whether all of the capabilities required for your company exist in the SAP basic production module or whether you require full implementation of the Boyum Beas Manufacturing system.
