Ressources Dispatching & Scheduling (SAP MRS)

Mobile planning of resources

The planning of resources (employees and production means) plays an important role for the optimization of e.g. customer services or maintenance processes. For an overall optimization such solutions are often implemented simultaneously with mobile user integration in order to be able to efficiently plan and employ human resources.

Movilitas recommends SAP Multi-Resource Scheduling (SAP MRS) for realizing individual requirements of resource planning. SAP MRS helps the planner to schedule resources and assign requests using a graphical overview in the form of a Gantt chart. For optimal planning conditions SAP MRS offers a range of functions: 

• manual, semi-automatic or automatic planning
• resource planning taking into consideration times of availability, qualification, distance from the place of action and spare parts/materials
• planning of requests from SAP PM, SAP CS and SAP PS

Implementation

Integration of SAP MRS into an existing system is made by standard interfaces and requires rather low expenses.

Using SAP MRS resource planning can be optimized significantly. Enterprises will benefit from:

• higher customer satisfaction
• fairer employee occupancy rate
• avoidance of travel time (double journeys, long-distance travels)
• avoidance of unnecessary sub-supplier employment
