Labs - communication of knowledge and ideas from the lecturer to the student. Students will perform inventory materials managements roles whilst completing case studies in an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) simulation. Problem Solving Exercises - student will work as part of a team and will work together to resolve various scenarios. Class Discussion/Debate - Students will be encouraged to actively participate in the class sessions which will develop their analytical and communication skills. Self-Direct Independent Learning - the emphasis on independent learning will develop a strong and autonomous work and learning practices.
Module Aim:
The module aims to develop the student's proficiency to use SAP's S/4 Hana system and a comprehensive understanding of Production and Materials Management within an enterprise-wide transactional processing system (ERP TPS), highlighting the inter-related nature of modular ERP system and how the relationships, within and between system modules, affects the ultimate set-up and utilization of such systems for organizational transaction processing capabilities.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module the learner should be able to:
LO1
Create master data within an ERP system (Material, Vendor and Customer).
LO2
Assess and discuss production execution (MTO vs Forecast Driven Planning and MPS & MRP Runs) and material management (Vendor & Customer Interaction) methods at end user level.
LO3
Execute end to end supply chain process planning and implementation and solve practical issues in an ERP system's set-up (manual processing to complete tasks).

Module Content & Assessment
Indicative Content
Inventory and Materials Management ERP ecosystems.
The production planning and material management operational elements of the ERP Ecosystem.Create system master data, such as material masters,with Bill of material (BOM) and production routing structures; manual processing.
Vendor and Customer Management Initiatives.
Create supply chain master data (customer and vendor) with corresponding sales conditions for customer groups and purchasing information conditions for vendor relationships (looking at end to end supply chain from Vendor and Customer Management Initiatives)
Master Production Scheduling and Materials Requirement Planning (MRP).
Initiate an MRP demand driven environment (MRP driven production requisites) relative to the master production scheduling rationale.
Supply Chain E2E framework
Develop a supply chain built upon an end to end framework (visibility from planned sales order to customer delivery and billing).
