Enterprise Resource Planning and Supply Chain Management: Functions, Business Processes and Software for Manufacturing Companies [Paperback]

This book is about running modern industrial enterprises with the help of information systems.

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is the core of business informa?tion processing. An ERP system is the backbone of most companies' information systems landscape. All major business pro?cesses are han?dled with the help of this system.

Supply chain management (SCM) looks beyond the individual company, taking into account that enterprises are increasingly concen?trating on their core com?petencies, leaving other activities to suppliers. With the growing dependency on the partners, effective supply chains have become as important for a com?pany's suc?cess as efficient in-house processes.

This book covers typical business processes and shows how these processes are implemented. Examples are presented using the leading systems on the market  SAP ERP and SAP SCM. In this way, the reader can understand how business processes are actually carried out in the real world .
