About this title

Synopsis

From the Back Cover

((shelving category)) Databases / SAP SAP R/3 PROCESS-ORIENTED IMPLEMENTATION GERHARD KELLER THOMAS TEUFEL If you are considering introducing SAP R/3 into your company, or need an overall picture of how client/server technology can be applied to large business applications, this book will be essential reading. It will show you the most successful and effective methods of implementing the SAP R/3 system to meet the needs of your business, rather than having to change your business processes to meet the capabilities of the system. This book provides detailed coverage of the methodology developed by SAP to enable the system to orientate itself to actual business processes, rather than to single functional areas or departments within a company - Iterative Process Prototyping. It explains the fundamentals of IPP and how it can help you to marry your business management requirements with the capabilities of the R/3 system, and how these concepts have been developed and applied to the R/3 framework to meet the practical needs of R/3 implementation specialists. With this book you will learn about: · the structure of business processes and value supply chains · the fundamentals of the building block principle · IPP based on the building block principle · Process analysis in value supply · Process driven customization · Process-oriented instruction of end users. The authors have drawn on their own involvement in the development and evaluation of the IPP model for the SAP R/3 system to provide a detailed examination of the relationship between system modelling and the R/3 system, using a wide range of specific examples from industry. An accompanying disk contains R/3 transport data for the examples featured in the book and is described in Appendix G. About the Authors: The authors are employees of SAP AG, where they were involved in the development of the SAP R/3 Business Process Model. Dr Gerhard Keller is currently Program Leader for Research Projects, particularly in the area of industry business models, and Thomas Teufel is a consultant on logistics.
