SAP · Supply Chain & Operations

The operations core —
designed to run.

Plan, procure, produce, deliver, maintain — one integrated backbone on S/4HANA, tuned to how MEA industrial operations actually run.

What we do

SAP Supply Chain & Operations is the transactional backbone that moves the business — procurement, warehousing, production, sales, distribution, plant maintenance and quality. When it works, revenue lands; when it doesn't, everything downstream breaks.

Phoenix delivers this layer with the operational scars to match. Oil & gas, manufacturing, FMCG, real estate — customers where downtime has a real dollar cost per minute. We design for uptime, master-data discipline and the messy realities of MEA delivery, not for a textbook process diagram.

Business outcomes

What actually moves.

OTIF you can trust

On-time in-full backed by aATP, real-time inventory and integrated logistics — commit dates that hold.

Inventory turns up, working capital down

Right-sized stock through governed MRP, ABC/XYZ classification and demand-driven MRP where the volume warrants it.

Plant uptime under control

PM strategy tied to real failure modes — preventive schedules, spare-parts availability, notification-to-work-order in minutes.

One master data spine

Material, vendor, customer, BOM masters governed centrally so integrations, analytics and AI downstream don't inherit chaos.

How Phoenix delivers

The approach.

01
Discover

Process discovery on the ground — talk to schedulers, planners, warehouse leads. Not slide-only.

02
Design

To-be process maps, master-data model, integration points, non-negotiables per country and per plant.

03
Build & Cutover

Iterative build; cutover with weighed inventory count, wave planning per plant, reversible cutover.

04
Operate

Hyper-care on the shop floor. Handover to AMS with a stabilised process baseline.

What you get

Named deliverables.

Every engagement lands specific artefacts — not slides.

End-to-end process maps: procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, plan-to-produce, plant-to-maintain

Material / vendor / customer / BOM master-data governance model + rules

aATP configuration with commit strategies per product family

MRP / PP-DS setup tuned to production shape (discrete, process, repetitive)

EWM warehouse design with layout, storage strategies and RF workflows

PM strategy: preventive plans, notification-to-order flows, spare-parts model

KPI layer for OTIF, inventory turns, plant availability, non-conformance

FAQ

Frequently asked

Do you deliver EWM or classic WM?

EWM is the strategic choice on S/4HANA and our default for greenfield programmes. Classic WM remains supported and Phoenix maintains it where existing customers have invested — but new WM implementations should be EWM, and Phoenix runs the transition where needed.

How do you handle multi-plant, multi-country rollouts?

Wave-based rollout with a fully documented template built in Wave 0, then country-by-country or plant-by-plant deployment. Each wave has a defined localisation scope, tax-and-statutory delta and cutover playbook. Master data governance is the constant that ties every wave together.

Advanced planning — PP-DS, aATP, IBP?

PP-DS for finite-capacity production planning is delivered on S/4HANA (embedded PP-DS) for most cases. Advanced ATP handles allocation and backorder confirmation. Integrated Business Planning (IBP) sits alongside for demand and supply planning — scoped independently when the analytical horizon warrants it.

What's Phoenix's stance on master data governance?

Master data is a first-class programme workstream, not a project sub-task. Material, vendor, customer, BOM masters get a governed model with defined stewards, workflow-driven change requests, and validation rules enforced at the transaction layer. MDG-M / MDG-C where the scale warrants a dedicated hub.

Do you cover Plant Maintenance for capital-intensive customers?

Yes — PM is a core Phoenix strength given our oil & gas heritage (ADNOC, Petrobel, SOCAR, ORYX). Preventive-maintenance strategy, notification-to-order flows, spare-parts availability, integration to condition-monitoring where applicable.
