From SAP-APO daily production programs including part lists and motor data are submitted to the process control system. At the engine starting location the engine is “born” by writing the motor data. All relevant data are transmitted to the individual PLC’s to control the assembly locations. From these PLC’s the actual data are collected and transmitted back to SAP-APO reporting the production progress. The process control system also takes care about the bar-code stickers, and individual “side-lines” are fed with data when raw-materials are required to maintain the deliveries just in time.
