SAP  EWM PPT

Slide 1: Title Slide

• Title: Introduction to SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM)
• Subtitle: Optimizing Your Supply Chain with Advanced Warehouse Control
• Image: A well-organized warehouse with modern equipment (conveyor belts, stackers, etc.)
• Speaker Notes: Welcome everyone to the presentation and introduce yourself and your role. Briefly state the objective: To provide an overview of SAP EWM and how it transforms warehouse operations within the SAP landscape.

Slide 2: The Challenges of Modern Warehousing

• Title: The Need for Advanced Warehouse Management

• Image: Busy, almost chaotic, warehouse floor with numerous product types and workers fulfilling orders.

• Bullet Points:

  • Increasing complexity: High volumes, diverse products, specialized picking requirements
  • Need for real-time accuracy: Inventory discrepancies, misplaced goods, shipment errors
  • Lack of visibility: Difficulty tracking inventory and order statuses in real-time
  • Growth and automation: Existing systems can’t scale, a desire to improve efficiency through automation.

• Speaker Notes: Emphasize how manual, error-prone processes create bottlenecks. Highlight that traditional warehouse management solutions often struggle to keep pace, leading to lost revenue, efficiency lags, and customer dissatisfaction.

Slide 3: What is SAP EWM?

• Title: SAP Extended Warehouse Management – The Solution

• Image: Simplified diagram of EWM with inputs (inbound deliveries) and outputs (outbound shipments) connected to core warehouse processes.

• Bullet Points

  • Definition: A sophisticated WMS within the SAP suite built for complex operations.
  • Key Features:
    • Extreme inventory precision
    • Process optimization (goods receipt to shipping)
    • Resource management (personnel, equipment)
    • Advanced automation integration
    • Support for value-added services (VAS)

• Speaker Notes: Introduce EWM as a solution specifically designed for the challenges outlined previously. Stress its integration with the SAP ecosystem.

Slide 4: Benefits of SAP EWM

• Title: Why SAP EWM? Key Advantages

• Image: Upward trending line graph or bar chart visualizing improvements

• Bullet Points:

  • Uncompromising Accuracy: Minimize errors, ensure stock and order reliability
  • Boosted Efficiency: Streamlined processes, optimized resource usage
  • Real-time Visibility: Data-driven decision making, proactive issue resolution
  • Customer Satisfaction: Faster, more accurate fulfillment

• Speaker Notes: Connect benefits to solving the pain points from Slide 2. Use quantifiable examples if available (“Reduced stock-outs by 20%”).

Slide 5: Embedded vs. Decentralized EWM

• Title: Choosing the Right Deployment Model

• Image: Split screen, or a two-column table

  • Left side: “Embedded EWM”
  • Right side: “Decentralized EWM”

• Bullet Points (Table format):

  • Feature: S/4HANA Integration | Embedded: Tight | Decentralized: Requires interfaces
  • Feature: Complexity | Embedded: Moderate | Decentralized: High
  • Feature: Customization | Embedded: Standard SAP | Decentralized: More Flexible

• Speaker Notes: Explain the key difference: Embedded runs within S/4HANA, Decentralized is standalone. Guide the audience – if they heavily use S/4, lean towards Embedded. High customization needs favor Decentralized.

Slide 6: Key Functionalities of SAP EWM

• Title: Core Capabilities of SAP EWM

• Image: Flowchart or icons representing:

  • Inbound Processing (Truck icon)
  • Storage & Inventory (Warehouse shelves)
  • Outbound Processing (Delivery van)
  • Resource Management (Silhouette of worker)

• Brief Descriptions: 1-2 sentences under each icon

• Speaker Notes: Explain that EWM doesn’t just track inventory, it manages the complete goods journey. Highlight EWM’s ability to plan worker tasks and equipment usage (forklifts, etc.).

Slide 7: SAP EWM and Automation

• Title: Streamlining Operations with Automation

• Image: Warehouse with integrated robots, conveyor belts, or an automated storage/retrieval system (AS/RS).

• Bullet Points:

  • Seamless MFS Integration: (Material Flow System)
  • Control of diverse technologies: AGVs, sorters, etc.
  • Benefits: Reduced manual labor, increased speed, improved accuracy.
