...Charla Sap El siguiente resumen engloba información acerca del software SAP, el cual fue discutido y explicado en la charla. Se comienza definiendo SAP como una compañía de software empresarial alemana encargada de proveer soluciones de negocios por casi cuatro décadas. SAP es sinónimo de "Sistemas, Aplicaciones y Productos (procesamiento de datos)". Investigando un poco, se encontró que este nombre se basa en el nombre original alemán "Systeme, Anwendungen und Produkte Cuando uno se encuentra con el mundo de SAP, uno se encuentra con muchas jergas como mySAP ERP, ECC, SAP Business Suite, etc.; esto se refiere a la oferta de productos de SAP. Se menciona el hecho que uno puede quedar confundido acerca de toda esta terminología, solo es cuestión de diferenciarla. ¿Pero de qué trata SAP de forma aplicada? Una vez que una empresa implementa software SAP, tiene sus procesos de negocio en línea a disposición de sus usuarios a través de los departamentos. Por ejemplo, el director del departamento materiales compras (como se le quiera llamar) que es responsable de tomar medidas para materiales en escasez, puede elevar la solicitud de compra después de ejecutar MRP (Material Requirements Planning) en el sistema SAP. El MRP de ejecución calcula la disponibilidad de materiales o déficit sobre la base de los requerimientos actuales en inventtario. El ejecutivo autorizado en el departamento de adquisición contempla la solicitud de compra y levanta orden de compra. El proveedor suministra...

Hobson Upper Iowa University Inquiry and Design Phase of the SAP System PB Leiner USA and PB Gelatins have been working for numerous years with software that is not affiliated with another. Every system carries out the essential functions needed to run each plant facility located in different parts of the world yet there is no unified connection, nothing that ties all financials together. The inquiry phase of this paper will demonstrate the areas in which the Action-Learning Team will conduct a review into the corporate wide system of PB Leiner USA and PB Gelatins looking for potential improvement points. The design phase of this paper will demonstrate the creation and process steps of what the ALT formulated based on the PIP discoveries.

...major software project. In 1999, Hershey stumbled while rushing to complete an enterprise systems overhaul, with a new SAP implementation at its core. Basic order management and fulfillment processes broke down, causing the company to fail to meet many retailers' orders. The immediate impact was about $150 million in lost sales for the year. The damage to sales and retailer confidence lingered into early 2000. Hershey is still reluctant to discuss what happened and what caused it; the company declined repeated requests for interviews from Baseline over the past year, and asked SAP and Accenture (which helped with the mySAP implementation) not to talk, either. But we gathered insight from insiders and former employees, and from some public statements Hershey has made about its supply-chain improvements. Here's a look at three things that went wrong at Hershey—and the subsequent lessons learned. #1: The Big Bang"> What Went Wrong #1: The Big Bang The overriding problem appears clear: Hershey was simply trying to do too much at once. In cosmology, the Big Bang theory tells us the universe sprang into being in an instant, wiping out everything that went before. In Hershey's case, it was the old logistics systems that had allowed it to do business for years that were wiped out in a flash. In late 1996, Hershey's management approved what came to be known as the Enterprise 21 project, which would largely replace legacy mainframe systems with new enterprise client/server software.

...CASE: SM-153 DATE: 08/08/06 SAP AG IN 2006: DRIVING CORPORATE TRANSFORMATION Success can be seductive. It can trick us into focusing too rigidly on long-established patterns of thought. That’s why it is often so tempting to recycle yesterday’s ideas to form the guidelines and dogmas of tomorrow. I hope that we can use the right vision and strategy to avoid this trap. ⎯Henning Kagermann, CEO, SAP AG INTRODUCTION On a windy April evening in Walldorf, Germany, Henning Kagermann took a sip of his tea and picked up the 60-page document lying on his desk. Several months earlier, Kagermann, CEO of SAP AG, had tasked his Corporate Strategy Group with preparing a strategic analysis, informally nicknamed the “Sun-Tzu document” in deference to the legendary Chinese general. It outlined the strategic opportunities and challenges that SAP should expect to face between 2006 and 2010, and examined the prevailing forces shaping the enterprise software industry in 2006: technological change, consolidation, and shifting customer needs. Kagermann believed that emerging Internet-based technologies and standards known collectively as “Web services” soon would transform the $79.8 billion enterprise software applications industry, in which SAP held the leading market position.1 Although sales of SAP’s existing products had begun to rebound in 2004 after a multi-year slowdown, Kagermann had committed SAP to deploy new Web services-based technology on a massive scale by the end of 2007.
