5. Discussion and conclusionsIn this paper, we presented an innovative pedagogical approach (ERPSim) using PBL to teach operations management in the context of integrated information systems that is authentic, ill-structured, student-centered, and facilitator-driven. The realism of the ERPSim approach brings technology, operations man-agement, and strategy together in one forum for learning.

A game tailored for S/4HANA Fashion Game

Goals – Provide a context that generates richer analytics, which are in return used to make better decisions.

– Allows extensibility and addition of new apps. Some scenarios that are being evaluated:

• Vendor selection;• Liquidity Management;• Retail-focused Fiori apps.

Fashion Game





A SAP Fiori Launchpad for ERPsim

Tiles fed with KPI and charts built specifically for ERPsim allow users to quickly monitor their business.





An example of adaptation

Decision making is simplified by reducing the number of clicks and by showing only what is necessary.

Embedded charts allows real-time performance tracking and improve decision making.





Insight-to-action

Insight-to-action provides a convenient way to make a decision on the spot. Actions provided to the partici-

pants are tailored to the ERPsim experience and give them a better control over their company.
