Dear All,
being Project Planner in a aeronautic company runing large scale projects (several hundred of thousands of man-hours) I’m looking for a collaborative solution to support the traditional project management axis (planning, HR, reports..) and also enhance our process / manufacturing / workflow follow-up
I would tend to favour Primavera P6 (with specific development ) rather than SAP-Manufacturing but when I read its white paper or websites,
I don’t see a big difference in what these softwares offer...
could you help me please ?
In what are SAP and Primavera different ? in which function they are competing ?
If you had the choice, which solution would you select ?
In advance, I thank you for your answers

SAP is ideal for Operations, and is developed based on the in-house processes. You will have a data base of all the information the different departments are generating, then the IT department will start presenting the information in reports based on each department requirements.
Primavera is project based software. You input the activities needed to complete each project, then start developing the program with the resources, man hour rates, constraints, and figure out the durations.
I hope that the explanation assisted you.
Best,
Samer - 0David Kelly ·SAP is a magnificent PRODUCTION planning system. If you were manufacturing 1000 identical cars a week, SAP would be the planning tool of choice.
Primavera is a world class PROJECT planning system. If what you are building is different from the last thing you built, or is not designed yet, or has just a lot of "unknowns" compared to a repetative manufacturing production line, Primavera is the tool of choice.
Trying to use a production planning system for project planning is like using Excel to write a letter.
