On quality with the help of data and our senses

Quality Management in Times of Change: a reflection on change under the influence of technology, sustainability and diversity.

This module will be offered in the summer semester of 2025 as Sustainable Production in the study program SES. Once you enroll in this course, you will automatically be enrolled in the SES course.

This course gives an introduction to Production Management Systems. The manufacture of physical products takes place through so-called production systems. Sometimes, simple tools are used to schedule the work in such systems, which work fine. In more complex production systems, the software supports planning and scheduling. This software is called production and scheduling (or controlling)  software (PPS or PPC). Enhancing the scope of the planning and scheduling to integrate other company information, the systems have been extended to Enterprise Resouce Planning Software. An example of such software is ERP software from SAP. They span across the whole enterprise.

In this course, we will cover the basic functions of PPC, important linkages to the ERP system, and how an incoming order is handled from the time it is placed until the ordered product is delivered and the invoice is issued.

We will use SAP S4/HANA as ERP software to learn the basic transactions necessary to perform the business processes necessary to produce physical products (bikes).

To understand the consequences of decisions in business processes, we'll use serious gaming. The ERPsim game series is based on SAP S4/HANA; you'll train and deepen your SAP transaction knowledge while producing and selling different muesli products.
