This study evaluates the SAP R/3 System Implementation through optimization of modules in resin chemicals industry. The company has implemented SAP R/3 software since 2013, but 62% of it has not been adjusted and need to be evaluated for implementation performance, therefore it is unknown whether SAP already reached its optimum point. Therefore, SAP R/3 evaluation is needed through SY Check List, improvement of forecasting, and Material Requirement Planning (MRP). The chosen product that was calculated was the A category product by ABC analysis. The 6 periods (months) forecasting will be used as a base of Master Production Schedule (MPS) to calculate the raw material requirement. The MRP calculation method used Lot-For-Lot because it does not need price information. SY Check List was used to identify in-optimum modules which SAP provided beforehand. The suggestion made based on the best forecasting calculation was used as other A category products forecasting calculation method. Therefore, SY Check List optimized SAP modules not only as a book data, but also logistic as integrated system which have to be maximized. As actual demand fluctuation forecasting method should be changed. More accurate forecasting will define MRP parameters accuracy.
