Abstract

The Enterprise Resources Planning Systems (ERP) has received considerable attention recently, not only in the management of manufacturing industry but also within the services industries and its financial management. The academic curricula of Master of Science in Systems Engineering at the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN) includes explaining ERP fundamentals using Systems Concepts. For example the Viable System Model (VSM) help to explain the general model of management of production systems. The resolution level explain the development from warehouse management to Material Requirement Planning (MRP), to Manufactory Requirement Planning (MRPII), to Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP), and to Supply Chain Management (SCM). The emergent concepts help to explain the discovery of the two categories of demand: independent demand and dependent demand, the feedback concept helps to explains the closed cycles in MRPII, and the environment concept help to explain the input-output interactions. Using systemic concepts accelerate the learning process of the students, professionals and owners of small manufacturing business, they learn faster and become more competitive when they understand the fundamentals principles of ERP using systems concepts.
