The main 2 problems production had were:
i) the production department was also responsible for planning,
ii) SAP standard hours were missing or wrong.
These 2 are the main 2 production problems which I have found in my career so far. Production is like a monster, it is always hungry and wants big portions, hence the batch sizes tend to get bigger and bigger and measurement is only done in kg, as this shows a good productivity. Productivity is a measure of volume/hours.
And talking about SAP standards, whenever SAP is being introduced, standard hours seem to be estimated rather than thoroughly measured. Of course, once one puts estimates in it, the planning function of SAP and any other production planning tool is completely out of order.
