Real-Time Integration
Connect shop-floor systems with enterprise resource planning processes so approved production, quality, material, inventory, and exception data can flow in time to support operational decisions and accountable follow-through.

Enhancing Process Industries with SCMNEXX
Process industries operate under global competition and significant regulatory scrutiny. Manufacturers need to become more responsive, energy-efficient, and environmentally responsible while managing emissions, yet poorly integrated legacy systems can continue to consume financial and human resources.
SCMNEXX helps process manufacturers examine how shop-floor systems, SAP® enterprise processes, data, integration, controls, and operating ownership can work together. The approach begins with the actual production, quality, inventory, sustainability, and decision-making requirements of each plant.
Connected plant operations
How SCMNEXX Supports
SCMNEXX supports the connection between plant-floor operations and enterprise processes, with implementation scope based on the manufacturer’s existing systems, data, controls, requirements, and operational priorities.
Core plant-floor initiatives
SCMNEXX Empowers Process Manufacturers to Elevate Their Core Plant-Floor Operations Through Several Key Initiatives
Four connected initiatives can help process manufacturers strengthen core plant-floor operations:
Advanced Technologies
Evaluate technologies such as RFID against a defined production or inventory need, integration architecture, data ownership, security, support model, and measurable acceptance criteria before adding them to the operating landscape.
Enhanced Visibility
Provide timely visibility across production, materials, quality, inventory, equipment, and exceptions using consistent definitions and governed data so teams can monitor operations and make informed decisions.
Focus on Sustainability
Support energy, emissions, materials, waste, and process information needed for approved sustainability initiatives. Environmental and financial results depend on the selected scope, reliable data, operating changes, measurement, and accountable management.
Process-manufacturing segments
Industries Covered Under Process Manufacturing
Three process-manufacturing segments illustrate the range of operating requirements. Each needs an operating model appropriate to its materials, production methods, quality controls, environmental obligations, assets, logistics, data, and risk profile.
Chemicals
Connect formulas, batches, production, quality, safety, materials, inventory, traceability, and the evidence required by accountable teams for applicable regulatory standards.
Metals
Coordinate extraction and processing plans, materials, production, yield, quality, assets, inventory, energy, waste, logistics, and operational exceptions with reliable data.
Minerals & Mining
Connect operations from extraction through processing, inventory, quality, assets, logistics, sustainability information, and enterprise reporting while preserving clear responsibilities.
A connected process-manufacturing landscape can replace avoidable legacy-system gaps with clearer data flow and timely operational insight. Improvements in efficiency, sustainability, compliance support, or growth require defined objectives, responsible specialists, disciplined execution, adoption, and measurement.
