Integration of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems into a Production and Operations Analysis Course

摘要

The use of a commercial Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is integrated into an Industrial Engineering (IE) curriculum. The ERP system, a business information system that considers all facets of a business, provides an integrated presentation that is needed to emphasize the connections and balances of fragmented topics. It also creates an active-learning environment that uses the appropriate technology. In addition, the integration simulates real employment and addresses many industrial concerns. Teaching the industry's needs to students and introducing them to a state-of-the-art ERP system can pave the way for their future development.
