Maintenance
All information at your fingertips
Bischof + Klein, a full-range supplier of flexible packaging and technical films made of plastic and plastic composites, replaced its Excel-based processes, which had previously been managed manually, with SAP PM back in 2007. The company was now faced with the challenge of mapping the PM processes on a mobile basis. Maintenance, repair and conversion of production facilities should be made even more flexible and efficient. It was important for B+K that all processes relevant for the maintenance staff are available on a mobile basis. Simple handling and usability as well as short online access and response times should also create a high level of user acceptance.
The requirements for the mobile solution were:
- Saves time and itinerary
- Cost reduction of maintenance measures
- Reduction of paperwork and documentation
- Direct connection to SAP
This was implemented:
Bischof + Klein opted for MSB FIVE – an add-on from mobisys GmbH that is directly integrated into SAP. Individual requirements were clarified in a workshop. All classic maintenance processes should be mobilized. MSB FIVE’s Ready-to-use templates provide a set of pre-built maintenance processes that accelerated project start-up. Only minor, individual adjustments were necessary – which could be programmed quite easily in ABAP. The SAP add-on thus contributes significantly to efficient and predictive maintenance.
- Seamless maintenance: All relevant data relating to maintenance, servicing and repairs can be recorded on the move.
- Mobile creation and modification of notifications and PM orders
- Process orders (repair, malfunction, inspection rounds) and create confirmations
- Post material withdrawals, view material information and order status
Benefits für Bischof + Klein

- Simple programming in ABAP: Individual extensions or changes can be implemented quickly and cost-effectively for the customer.

- High performance: short online access and response times
”We are very satisfied with the mobisys mobile solution. We are currently planning the rollout of the MSB FIVE App for additional plants as well as the expansion of the functions to include a planner application and capacity planning. In the future, the mobile app will also be used in logistics.
