Sap Yard Logistics Online Training

SAP Yard Logistics, optimize your yard processes for better resource usage, planning,
visibility, and data insights. Yard processes are complex, and yard planning activities are
often done manually utilizing spreadsheets, leaving room for errors. As well, the back-and-
forth communication with carriers degrades operational efficiency.

 Order and appointment planning and check-in:
 Improve resource use to reduce idle time and avoid intermediate storage and
wasteful movement.
 Plan incoming and outgoing transport with more system support and collaboration
with carriers.

 Yard execution and processing:
 Deliver products and services faster and improve customer service with visibility and
control.
 Accelerate activity execution to increase the throughput of the yard.

 Integration capabilities and monitoring:
 Use comprehensive graphical monitoring to identify, avoid, and solve potential
issues with insight.
 Manage the end-to-end processes by combining supply chain management software
in the cloud.
