History

Launched in 1992, SAP ERP has undergone its share of enhancements over the years. In 2004 the program underwent a complete architecture overhaul which included the introduction of ERP Central Component. At the same time, the SAP Business Warehouse, SAP Strategic Enterprise Management, and Internet Transaction Server were merged into SAP.

This development helped to create a more encompassing enterprise-wide solution. Additional changes were made to support a service-oriented model. SAP ERP 6.0 has been updated through a series of enhancement packs. The most recent was released in 2016.

The system’s manufacturing capabilities are reported to allow intelligent manufacturing from design to operation.

This includes:

• Insight to understand load distribution and real-time adjustments
• Live MRP engine to rapidly respond to changes in demand and material availability
• Mass production with minimal intervention
• Collaboration between OEMs and service providers to enable quick fulfillment of custom orders, while reducing inventory and waste
