DEHN SE: Work Measurement directly in SAP with TiCon for SAP. The SAP AG certified software solution for capturing, managing, and processing MTM-based data directly in SAP significantly reduces the effort and cost of maintaining data in SAP Routing. Users appreciate working in only one system, without an additional database, without data redundancy – and above all the transparency of the data, because TiCon for SAP means time management directly in the work process in the Engineering Workbench in SAP. “A great tool to connect the worlds of SAP and MTM”, says Dominik Pfann, Process Planner at DEHN SE.
Time studies and MTM analysis in a single database
Industrial Engineering at DEHN SE, a leading international provider of intelligent solutions in the field of lightning, surge and occupational safety, was faced with the challenge of making work planning more effective. This meant creating time studies and MTM analyses in a single database and tool, ensuring transparency and traceability of target times directly in the SAP work plan, and mapping complex production structures and parallel processes. With more than 4,000 devices and components offered by the MTM member company, mastering product variance is a key factor for the company’s success. The solution was to switch to TiCon for SAP and to use TiCon TS (Time Study), the application developed by Deutsche MTM-Gesellschaft mbH for the qualified execution of time studies in the manufacturing industry, logistics and services.
“A great tool to connect the worlds of SAP and MTM”.
The method planners at DEHN SE use TiCon for SAP to create time data across plants and without interfaces, to set up a structured database (e.g. with customer-specific data cards) and thus to save time during process analysis. The fact that MTM AVO analyses can be carried out directly in the process details contributes decisively to transparency in the determination of target times.
Dominik Pfann, Process Planner at DEHN SE, is more than satisfied with the results: “TiCon helps us to understand and optimize our processes. It is a great tool to connect the worlds of SAP and MTM”. According to Pfann, the changeover from REFA to MTM was also successful with TiCon for SAP and without any loss of information. “In addition, the support team always made an effort to adapt the software to our needs,” adds the process planner. He will also share his experiences with TiCon for SAP with the MTM community at the TiCon User’s Day on June 12/13, 2024 in Dresden.
Here is an overview of the advantages of the TiCon for SAP add-on:
- Certified integration into the SAP PP module and the option of integration into other PLM scenarios
- Management of transparent, objective and reproducible target times based on MTM analyses and time studies
- Identification of time and value creation potentials in workplace design
- Simulate, compare, and implement changes
