Resource Management with SAP MRS Supporting all Lines of Businesses Project Staffing Professional services providers can use SAP MRS to match demand against the available supply of consultants. The solution aggregates data from multiple sources, helping you identify properly qualified personnel, assign the right consultants to projects, and meet service demand.

Maintenance Organizations that provide industrial plant maintenance services must balance the need for specialized technology services with the availability of uniquely qualified technicians. SAP MRS supports the overall operations and maintenance strategy. Superior maintenance of valuable assets reduces mean time between equipment breakdowns, enhances production uptime, and improves on-time delivery.
