Dear All,

I want to know about Quality Management in Film Mfg. Industry / Paper Industry.

Please tell me, where i can get information for this.

I have a query in QM for Film Mfg. Industry.

The problem is:

Film production is in ROLLs. Base unit of measure is KG.

I want to segregate defective area inside the roll, while usage decision. area is in sq.meters

There is no extra field for this in standard transaction, as per my knowledge.

Please help.

I can't help you specifically with your question. But you might want to look at SAP's Mill products solutions. What you describe is very similar to what happens in the mills that produce things like carpet or rolled sheet metal. The carpet and metal are made in rolls measured in sq. ft. but very often managed and stored as EA. Defections are related to certain areas of the roll.

The following is from SAP's documentation on this solution, bolidng is mine.

Purpose

The SAP Mill Products component adds sector-specific functionality to an ERP system to satisfy the complex requirements of mill industries (e.g. metal, wood, paper, textiles, construction materials, and cable sectors).

These industry segments differ from others primarily in that the materials used have a large number of characteristics and variants. The materials in the segments listed above are also predominantly area-based (e.g. paper, textiles, plastic film) or length-based (e.g. cables, piping). Account must be taken of these material characteristics throughout the entire supply chain.

To cater for the particularities of these industry segments, SAP Mill Products features processes and functions that cover the entire supply-chain cycle – from product design and configuration, through planning, order processing, capacity planning and production, to final delivery. Additional functions are available in costing and inventory management. SAP Mill Products are also integrated into Quality Management, Financial Accounting, and Controlling.

Working with a German fixer was a game-changer for our recent production in Germany. From location scouting to handling permits and crew coordination, everything was managed flawlessly. Their deep local knowledge and industry connections saved us both time and money. What impressed me the most was their ability to anticipate challenges and solve them proactively. Filming in a foreign country can be complex, but with the right fixer, it becomes a smooth and enjoyable experience. I’d definitely collaborate with them again!
