scheduling course introduction

One suggestion that may be useful: Maybe in the beginning of a course an instructor would like to get into Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP, e.g., SAP and Baan) and discuss how planning and scheduling systems are plugged into such information systems.

An instructor may want to contact Baan and SAP and ask them for material. Baan has a very nice CD called “Baan Synchronization” that is very useful for classroom demo’s.

Baan’s website is: http://www.baan.com

SAP’s website is: http://www.sap.com/products/apo

If an instructor specifies in the syllabus that this topic is going to be covered more students may enroll.
