    The still want to ensure customer satisfaction despite outsourcing some or even all of theirsupply chain activities

    They want to reduce their costs by reducing uncertainties that lead to buffer inventory andbuffer times and/or expensive fire-fighting

    They want to reduce time to action by being able to recognize and react upon unplannedevents in the supply chain and their effect

    They want to manage by exception rather than monitoring processes that are runningsmoothly

    They have to provide transparency for themselves or for their business partnersthroughout the complete distributed process

    Event P ossibilities

    Actual events refer to certain milestones in the process. Usually these milestones areplanned with the help of an application and are stored within the ERP system, but you alsomay want to define additional milestones.

    If an actual event occurs within a given tolerance, you call it a regular event.

    Besides that an event that you expect to happen within a particular time frame can happenoutside of that time frame. This is an early/late event and could cause a subsequent eventto be rescheduled, or it could simply be recorded.

    An unexpected event is one that you dont plan, because you dont want it to happen. Still,it might have a big impact on your processFourth is an unreported event. Here, you expect an event to occur within a particular timeframe, it is not reported. Something still needs to happen following this event whether ornot it is reported, so you could set a time limit that sends a message or causes somethingto happen when the event is unreported in a certain time period.

    Supply Chain Event Management is dealing with all those different event types.

    How SAP Event Management works

    The Business process is represented by an event handler , including relevantattributes (IDs, parame ters) and status information

    Milestones and expected measurements contain information about what isplanned to happen in the process

    Actual even ts and measurements are posted manually or from systems (B2Bexchange, Web, handheld)

    Attach me nts (for example, digital signature) can be posted with an event.

    SAP EM allows responses, according to definable rules

    Ben efits : Visibility Actionability

    Visibility: processTrack processes across multiple company/partner boundaries

    Visibility: asset and planningDistribute inventory, capacity, and schedule-sharing am ong sup ply chain partners,SAP and non-SAP environments.

    Visibility: performanceManage goals such as service agreement, delivery times

    End-to-end process improvements, enhanced by RFID an d other emergingtechnologies, are delivering visibility across global networks to help organizationsmanage risk and create value .

    This requires visibility not only on a process level, which means to track a process fromone end to the other and across company boundaries, but also on an object level, if you forexample are a company that distributes its goods with the help of items that are moreexpensive than the goods they carry. Last but not least, you need visibility on agreedperformance goals to be able to measure yourself and your business partners.
