DELMIA Apriso vs. SAP Manufacturing Execution

generally speaking the tool is well suited in complex manufacturing execution environments because there are several features which can be enabled or developed to accomplish business requirements and needs, but on the other hand it means that the standard product is not suitable to cover standard complex scenario in a manufacturing company unless big effort is spent in the development and configuration phase

SAP Manufacturing Execution is suitable for desecrate manufacturing. For the complex routing of the product, this software ensures users do not by mistake start executing the wrong steps. This is the best tool to track and work on nonconformance and rework scenarios. This is most suitable when the landscape has SAP ERP in place.
