...Fundamentals of Supply Chain Solutions with SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a framework for organizing, defining, and standardizing the business processes necessary to effectively plan and control an organization so the organization can use its internal knowledge to seek external advantage.

Therefore, the issue here the company faces is not one of quality, but rather one of efficiency. To date, many of the systems and procedures in place, while affective, are not as streamline or as consistent as they could be. Still others (e.g. audits), although effective, are taking weeks to complete when most similar operations today can finalize internal audits in a matter of days...

Global Bike Inc. has a pragmatic design philosophy that comes from its deep roots in both the off-road trail racing and long-distance road racing sports. Nearly 20 years ago, its founders designed their first bikes out of necessity—they had races to win and the bikes that were available at the time did not perform to their extremely high standards.

...” Multiple versions of the Fitter Snacker Company have been configured in SAP ERP system Depending on which class you are in, you will be assigned to a particular client in an SAP system. In SAP, the term ”client” has a different meaning than the typical usage of client in the computer world. In the beginning, while not technically correct, the easiest way to understand the SAP usage of client is to think of a client as a separate database. Information in one client, say client 503, is not accessible from other clients. When you log into the SAP system, you have to choose which System/Server you are logging into, then when you log in to that particular server, you have to specify which client you are using. Within each client in the system, there are 100 copies of the Fitter Snacker data. You have been assigned to one of these sets of data. On your SAP System User ID sheet, you have been given the system and client your account is on. You have also been given a Data Set Number, which tells you which set of data you should be using within your client. IT IS CRITICAL THAT YOU USE ONLY YOUR DATA SET. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL CAUSE YOU PROBLEMS AS WELL AS OTHERS IN YOUR CLASS. All of the data in the Fitter Snacker database begins with a Data Set Number. For example, the NRG-A bars are entered as 00 NRG-A, 01 NRG-A, 02 NRG-A, etc. This will allow you to use the search function in SAP to find your particular snack bar. In the instructions that follow, the pound...
