Abstract:

The purpose of the following document is not to argue against SAP, but rather provide areas of refinement to fully give shareholders the maximum return. Through extensive case studies and modules, SAP’s impact as an ERP system for Airgas, USA LLC was reviewed with the ability to look back two years after its hard launch and almost four and a half years after its initial announcement. Employees have identified several areas of concern that were explored and recommended for improvement. Airgas, like many large firms, find themselves relying more and more on technology to conduct their daily business. The following document compiles examples to support the conclusions that Airgas further customizes SAP to specifically meet their needs and changes a few standard operating procedures to foster a culture of accuracy with the supply chain.
