Research On The Supply Chain Of Make-to-order Based On The SAP R/3 System

Recently, more and more manufacturers begin to adopt MTO (Make-to–order) model, which is resulted from the advantages of MTO, such as meeting different customers'demands rapidly, shortening the time of delivery, decreasing the stock and cost as well. In MTO model, SCM (Supply Chain Management) is a key factor. In order to work well, it must be based on information technology. By analyzing the requirements, the processing flow and the features of SCM in MTO, its essential functions are confirmed. According to the basic logistics management functions in SAP R/3 system and the facts of Bosch Packaging technology (Hangzhou) Ltd, the related modules in the original system have been localized and all kinds of roles have been readjusted. And one mode of SCM combined with the MTO and the enterprise resource management system is put forward. Consequently, the management system and the real running status become a perfect pair, which not only makes the goods flow, the money flow and the information flow of supply chain work harmoniously but also improves the productive efficiency and reduces the costs.
