SAP INFO
SAP INFO: "According to a survey by AMR Research in September 2005, less than one percent of the companies questioned automatically incorporate production data into their ERP solutions. Even a typical, smallish manufacturing company has between 10 and 50 shop-floor automation systems (SFAs) and, as a rule, the data from these is not put to efficient use. In June 2005, SAP took over the Lighthammer Software Development Corporation, an Enterprise Manufacturing Intelligence specialist. It has expanded the Corporation?s Collaborative Manufacturing Suite to create SAP xApp Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence (SAP xMII), a packaged composite application to support business processes in the production environment."
