Previous Experience Having experience using an ERP system is a must; being experienced in sales, purchasing or financials would be beneficial.
Preview For the sales and purchasing processes, the maps display the relevant process steps in the sequence in which they occur. By indicating your possible next steps, the maps support you in fulfilling your concrete tasks quickly and efficiently.

For a chosen process step, the process map serves different purposes:

  • It provides direct access to the documentation.
  • It allows you to perform the action associated with the process step. You can either directly create objects or go to suitable worklists to perform the action.
  • It indicates how much work is left to be done and thus allows you to quickly judge whether there seem to be bottlenecks for that process step.
  • It provides access to a few selected queries that are related to typical questions you may have regarding that step. They take you to the relevant worklist.
Background Information It’s an innovation to optimize business processes for the end user and to better support model processes during the implementation.

Topic 22: Intelligent Asset Management-Predictive Maintenance and Service: Failure Curve Analytics

Test the new SAP Fiori app “Failure Curve Analytics” for easily configuring machine learning and analyzing the probability-of-failure curve and time to failure for selected equipment. 

Description You will have a chance to test, provide usability feedback on, and preview upcoming features for the new SAP Fiori app “Failure Curve Analytics.” This app includes an easy-to use-machine learning model configuration process and the resulting analytics display.
Role/s Users who conduct or are familiar with asset management or who are interested in machine learning for asset management
Previous Experience Knowledge and experience of asset management required. Knowledge of the Weibull statistical model will help interpret the plots, but data science experience is not required.
Preview You will be testing the new Failure Curve Analytics app for analyzing the probability of failure and time to failure of equipment.
Background Information Failure Curve Analytics is designed to make configuring and analyzing machine learning for asset intelligence easier. The complexity in the data science has been automated to best support users that don’t have data science experience. The app user interface is simple, while the science and technology is advanced.

Failure Curve Analytics utilizes failure mode breakdown information to fit a Weibull curve to the data. Based on the parameters of the curve, it calculates individual metrics for the equipment including the probability of failure at a certain age and the time to failure. As such, in a productive scenario it is essential to have the right failure modes assigned to breakdown notifications and to ensure that the malfunction start and end dates and times are maintained to have a correct fit.

Background Information Until recently we have used SAP Predictive Analytics integrator for embedded use cases. With intelligent scenario lifecycle management (ISLM), we offer you now a harmonized solution that covers both flavors – embedded use cases and side-by-side use cases. ISLM will be the successor of SAP Predictive Analytics integrator and is delivered with SAP S/4HANA. With ISLM, the ML lifecycle management operations are offered in a standardize way – such as training, activation, and deployment – even for ML models that run remotely or as a service in the side-by-side use case. For business application developers, ISLM’s key value is that it offers a common consumption model by ensuring stable APIs and access points.
