Issue

This Key Decision Document (KDD) serves as a comprehensive guide outlining critical decisions, considerations, and recommendations essential to the implementation and management of S4HANA Asset Performance Management (APM). It aims to clarify the rationale behind exploring and evaluating whether to extend S4HANA APM functionalities across all plants based on selected assets in comparison to standard SAP preventative maintenance process.

Key areas covered in this document include:

• Benefits and drawbacks of each solution, including factors such as efficiency, accuracy, safety, and compliance.
• Overview & Background
• Design Options 
• Evaluation
• Recommendation
• Business & Project Impacts

Overall, the purpose and structure of the KDD ensure clarity, transparency, and accountability throughout the process of adopting and utilising APM within Syensqo.

Decision

Background & Context

Currently, only one plant (Tavaux) within Syensqo leverages the advanced functionalities of S4HANA APM, which includes predictive maintenance, real-time monitoring, and comprehensive asset performance insights. The rest of the organization employs standard SAP preventative maintenance, which primarily focuses on scheduled maintenance tasks without advanced analytics and predictive capabilities.
