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".
