ERPsim COMPETITION[top]

I have configured the following companies for the ERPsim Advanced Manufacturing Game (screen below). As you can see, teams H (company for former team A) thru N (company for former team G) have been configured. You will play three 30-minute quarters.

You may logon to the MERIDA server using your new accounts H1, H2, H3 etc. So, if you were user A3, now you are user H3. Your server is the same server that we used during the last 2 games but you have to logon with your new account (i.e., H3). Passwords are the default passwords (shown on the SAP Account and Access Information document that I have you at the beginning of the semester) and must be changed after the first login.

Our ERPsim client is now ready and you could logon with your new accounts and look at your data.

Note that the game has not started yet, so the ERPsim simulator does not process any sales transactions yet, but you could be preparing for the game. Shortly, I will be finalizing your configurations and by Wednesday morning you will be able to process transactions (for now, you should only see your prices, BOM, etc but not change anything yet).

Below, you will see the results of the Intro Manufacturing Game (played on 11/14/2012):

Here are the points earned so far by the teams after the Introductory Manufacturing Game:
