Book Overview
In recent years, Supply Chain Management (SCM) has become one of the most widely discussed issues on top management s agenda. One essential precondition for the implementation of SCM concepts are powerful information systems. Many manufacturing companies deploy the logistics modules of the SAP R/3 system. In 1997 SAP enlarged its focus beyond Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and started an SCM initiative, which resulted in the Advanced Planner and Optimizer (APO) system. Today, APO has become one of the main components of the mySAP.com solutions. This book describes the principles and methods of intra- and inter-company SCM with reference to Release 4.6 of the SAP R/3 and to Release 3.0 of the SAP APO system. It also discusses potential future developments of these widely used software systems. The final chapter of the book contains an annotated overview of the most valuable online resources dealing with SCM.

talks about mySAP.com as a portal and marketplace
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
The book seems best for a newcomer to SAP's software. It describes at a fairly high level the very complex set of packages that SAP offers. There is a topic that might be of especial interest to some readers. mySAP.com. This is an enterprise-wide portal plus a marketplace. In the computer press, it has received wide publicity. Partly because it gave employees a more role-based and more personalised view into their corporate resources. While the marketplace aspect was a reaction to the rise of the b2b startups during the dot com era. Though most of those startups failed, they did propagate the idea of a convenient marketplace on the Internet. The book shows how SAP implemented this.

I have worked for SAP America some time ago in the module of CRM however when I changed careers and went into automotive supply chain, I needed to understand my work. Well, I purchased this book. It's OKAY for understand supply chain in SAP but find another book for learning the functinal processes, this book explains the business process. Too, the author does give a good overview of how supply chain management is used in the SAP environment. It would be a good reference point if your company is implementing SCM in SAP.
Absolutely Recommended !!

As leader of a customer dervice dept. in a company who just implemented SAP, I can only recommend this book. Not only because its relevance to SAP users, but also because it is a very easy to read and excellent written introduction to modern supply chain management and it's basic functions and challenges. No matter if you use SAP or not, you will like this book if you are beginning to deal with supply chain improvements from a basic level. Read this before any other supply chain book and then compare. I am sure you will come back to this publication over and over again.
