Abstract
Analyzing the development process for an ERP solution, in our case SAP, is one of the most critical processes in implementing standard software packages. Modelling of the proposed system can facilitate the development of enterprise systems not from scratch but through use of predefined parts who represents the best knowledge captured from numerous case studies. This aims at abstracting the specification of the required information system as well as modelling the process towards this goal. Modelling plays a central role in the organization of the information systems development process and the information systems community has developed a large number of conceptual models, systems of concepts, for representing conceptual schemata. In the area of ERP systems, because of the characteristics that distinguishes them, conceptual modelling can help in all aspects of the development process, from goal elicitation to reuse of the captured knowledge, through the use of the appropriate modelling schemata. SAP offers a standardized software solution, thus making easier the alignment of SAP requirements to enterprise requirements in a goal form, and the correspondent business processes.
Highlights
ERP systems provide a software solution comprising several interconnected modules covering most of the key functions
We concentrate in the production planning module of SAP and we study the reengineering of the manufacturing process of the company
In this paper we have seen so far, the ontology of the proposed methodology applied into a Pharmaceutical Company
Summary
ERP systems provide a software solution comprising several interconnected modules covering most of the key functions. SAP has modules for humanresource, material logistics, treasury, etc. This paper proposes a framework for the treatment of goal acquisition, alignment and reuse within the enterprise in order to facilitate the use of SAP. “Electro Tech is a fictional company, created from the collection of a variety of true-life business practices” [7].
