Supervisor - Order-Related Production 

Technical name: SAP_BW_0ROLE_0066

Task Area

The supervisor, together with his/her team, is responsible for ensuring that the plan created by the production planner is carried out. Their area of responsibility extends across a production area or one or more production lines. They check the availability of resources (production lines/machines, materials and personnel), distribute the tasks/work packages, release them for execution and monitor their execution as well as their confirmation. The supervisor initiates the correction of malfunctions and deviations, documents them and makes usage decisions for in-process quality inspections.

The supervisor has personnel responsibility and sometimes also cost center responsibility for their area. Using various forms of analysis, the supervisor checks whether the following goals are being attained in his/her area:

·         Optimal use of resources (production lines/machines, materials and personnel)

·         Provision of the required quantities of a product at the correct time

·         Maintenance of the required product quality

As required, supervisors initiate or coordinate necessary improvements, for example, maintenance tasks.

Structure

Tasks in the Business Information Warehouse

The supervisor has an administrative management function and carries out operation and work center analyses, as well as quality analyses. To accomplish these tasks, BW provides Business Content information in the form of workbooks. Each task corresponds to a cluster of one or more workbooks. The workbooks contain one or more queries that yield the relevant information. The tasks (clusters) are logically grouped together into task areas (subchannels). The following workbooks are available for the supervisor:

Machine Breakdowns

The following Web Templates exist for the analysis area Machine Breakdowns:

·        Machine breakdowns per production order

·        Production breakdowns with machine breakdowns

·        Rescheduled production orders
