Hello my Friends and Readers!
As suggested, I have translated my last post in English!
I hope to transmit the same idea in English, I’m so sorry for some mistakes in English.
Come on now I will try to explain, “What it is” this tool called SAP. However, to explain what it needed to demonstrate the concept that it uses.
The concept that the name is ERP and used in various companies around in the World!
For starters, what does this acronym ERP?
This acronym is comes from the English with the following definition: Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), translating to Portuguese got the definition of Integrated Business Management System.
This concept aims to integrate all data and processes of a company/organization in a unique system. Speaking in a more clear way, you would like to have all the information in one place in your company!
SAP A.G was founded in Germany.
Now let’s go ….I will try to clarify their doubts about the main objective of “SAP”.
Many people would think that SAP is the button in your TV remote control.
This button in your remote control is used to change the audio in your TV, just so you know; this key has another meaning Second Audio Program (SAP).
This system, which many companies use and invest a lot of money to use that tool has as main goal to turn that home systems in an Integrated Business Management System.
This is makes the company more competitive in the market because the decisions made are more agile because the information is in unique place.
As one example below explain the Sales flow of a product, we have available in stock to sale using the SAP principles.
Fluxo de Venda SAP
As the Sales flow represented above, all information is within the same system, thus the processes occurring in a very agile manner.
This is one of thousands of reasons that companies use this tool.
Below are some benefits that the implementation of SAP ERP could bring to your company:
- Eliminate manual processes;
- Optimize the flow of information and the quality of it within the organization (efficiency);
- Optimize the process of making decision;
- Eliminate redundant activities;
- Reduce the uncertainties of Lead Time;
- Incorporation of best practices (codified in ERP) to internal business processes;
- Reduce the time of management processes;
- Inventory reduction;
- Reducing the workload because repetitive activities can and should be automated;
- Better control of company operations;
