Case Study: FRIWO achieves 30% fewer planning errors with SAP S/4HANA Manufacturing and SAP Services and Support

FRIWO Forging sophisticated and innovative power-supply units and drive systems for limitless mobility

FRIWO, a German industrial manufacturer of smart power-supply units and drive systems, was struggling with long procurement times, bottlenecks in its critical material path, and planning that did not properly account for capacities or product-specific resources. To improve manufacturing planning and scheduling, FRIWO turned to SAP, using SAP S/4HANA Manufacturing and related planning capabilities.

SAP Services and Support helped FRIWO stabilize and improve the performance of its SAP S/4HANA solution, identify root causes of performance issues, and guide implementation best practices. As a result, FRIWO gained real-time plan changes with tighter ERP and MES integration, improved core process performance, and better supply chain optimization, while reducing planning errors by 30% and increasing transparency around production bottlenecks.
