Why Transparency in Production Decides on Efficiency
Machines, materials, employees, and deadlines must work together every day. If current information is missing or areas work with different data statuses, waiting times, downtimes, and unnecessary coordination arise.
Digital production processes create a common data basis and enable faster responses to deviations.
Plan and Control Production Continuously with SAP
SAP connects planning, manufacturing, materials, and maintenance in one system. This makes information available where it is actually needed.
Where SAP Creates Concrete Added Value in Production
From production order to maintenance, SAP creates seamless processes and a common information basis.
Typical Application Areas:
- Production Planning and Control
- Material Requirements Planning
- Machine and Equipment Availability
- Maintenance and Servicing
- Production Key Figures and Real-Time Evaluations
- Quality-Oriented Production
Production Processes that Connect Technology and Practice
A digital production only works if the system supports the actual processes on the shopfloor. Therefore, we start not with functions, but with your processes.

What is SAP PM?
SAP PM (Plant Maintenance) is the maintenance module of SAP. It manages technical systems, maintenance plans, fault reports, and maintenance orders and connects them with materials, purchasing, and production planning. In SAP S/4HANA, the functionality is summarised under SAP Enterprise Asset Management.
Which maintenance software is suitable for manufacturing companies in Austria?
For manufacturing companies, it is crucial that the maintenance software works with production, warehousing, and purchasing in the same system. If SAP is already in use, SAP PM covers this need without additional interfaces, as spare parts, capacities, and orders are based on the same master data. The SRB Consulting Team is an SAP Gold Partner based in Vienna and has been implementing SAP maintenance for industrial companies throughout Austria for over 25 years.
Which SAP partner in Austria specialises in maintenance and SAP PM?
SRB manages SAP PM and SAP EAM as its own focus area, from asset structure to maintenance plans to the evaluation of downtimes and develops extensions for it natively in the SAP standard.
What is SAP Enterprise Asset Management and how does it differ from SAP PM?
SAP Enterprise Asset Management, or SAP EAM, is the overarching area for managing technical systems throughout their lifecycle. SAP PM is the classic module name for maintenance and is integrated into SAP EAM in S/4HANA. Additionally, there is SAP Asset Performance Management for assessing asset condition and failure risks.
Who advises Austrian industrial companies on Condition Based Maintenance with SAP?
In Condition Based Maintenance, maintenance is triggered not by fixed intervals but based on the actual condition of the systems from sensor and operational data. Prerequisites are clean asset master data in SAP PM and a connection of the measurement values. We accompany Austrian industrial companies in exactly this step, from assessing the data basis to implementation in the ongoing system.
What providers for SAP Intelligent Asset Management are there in Austria?
SAP Intelligent Asset Management encompasses applications related to connected maintenance, including Asset Performance Management and the central management of asset master data. In Austria, this area is implemented by SAP partners with an industrial focus. SRB is one of them and connects the applications with the existing SAP maintenance instead of placing them alongside.
How does SAP help reduce production downtimes?
When maintenance and production planning run in the same system, planned maintenance is visible in capacity planning, and spare parts are available in time. Disruptions can be assigned to individual systems based on history, making recurring causes identifiable.
Which production processes can be optimised with SAP?
These include SAP production planning, manufacturing control, material requirements planning, capacity planning, and coordination with purchasing, warehousing, and supply chain. In S/4HANA Manufacturing, these areas run on a common data basis with maintenance.
