ERP SAP Live Simulation Competition

You are invited to participate in the final ERP/SAP Simulation Game scheduled from 11:00 am to 2 pm on Thursday, April 23, in the lobby of the Heavener Center. Please come and see how our ERP students from ERP 446 ERP Configuration and IST390 Undergraduate Research put the knowledge they learned from their classes into action in their final ERP SAP Simulation Game. Five of six companies are virtual companies formed by both on-campus students and distance students who leveraged information technology to faciliate team communication and company operations. Comments from an Accenture Consulting VP and a Monsanto Co. VP are that the experience from this simulation game is worth at least 6 months, if not more, of SAP real-world consulting experience.

The Missouri Enterprise Resource Planning is unique in that it is technology based, combining business and technology in an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) environment. It is our goal that our ERP students understand how to leverage the information technology to integrate knowledge from different disciplinary areas to achieve a competitive advantage. The ERP SAP Simulation Game is used as one of many means to accomplish this goal as well as give students hands-on experience in operating a company. Our ERP students integrates knowledge learned from accounting, finance, operations, economics, marketing and management to evaluate market fluctuations, consumer behavior and market reactions as they manage the end-to-end production of various products from purchasing raw materials to choosing the distribution channel. To make a profit, student teams formed from two different classes (graduate students from ERP446 and undergraduate students from IST390) have to understand how to leverage the information technology to achieve a competitive advantage against the other teams.Current performance from the six students companies are provided below:
