Challenges while Updating Planning Parameters of an ERP System and How a Simulation-Based Support System Can Support Material Planners

In an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, production planning is influenced by a variety of parameters. Previous investigations show that setting parameter values is highly relevant to a company’s target system. Parameter settings should be checked and adjusted, e.g., after a change in enviro...
