April 11, 2006 - At the CeBIT 2006 trade fair, SAP AG, the market leader for enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, announced the latest upgrade of the supply chain management (SCM) applications in its mySAP Business Suite product line. Scheduled for general release in June, mySAP SCM 5.0 includes major new capabilities that support planning, execution, trading partner collaboration and visibility and supply chain analytics. What’s new beyond the footprint expansion and functional enhancements is SAP’s focus on solutions for specific industries and support for business processes. From both business and IT perspectives, SAP SCM is finally moving beyond playing catch-up with the best-of-breed products and beginning to offer the features needed for integrated supply chain management.
In release 5.0 mySAP SCM will contain a new set of tools that integrate supply chain analytics, planning and execution. Using SAP’s Business Warehouse, Inventory Collaboration Hub, Event Management and SAP NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure (SAP XI) middleware, the new version will be able to extract data from the supply chain and present it to managers in the form of preconfigured key performance indicators (KPIs) that can be used to guide supply chain planners, warehouse managers and transportation managers. Building on this framework, later this year SAP will add a new module for sales and operations planning (S&OP). Using SAP xS&OP, supply chain planners and senior managers should be able to develop plans that balance stable and efficient operations with adaptability to rapidly changing business conditions.
