Comment #1: From BLV Rao
It is very much enlightened story to know about dark sides of ERP’s and SAP as a Global giant. I did implement several such systems on Mainframes, AS 400, Client-server and state-of-art technologies…So, unless organization has Right blend of people, management commitment with processes maturity no ERP would really give desired BENEFITS, say BLV RaoBest Regards,

Comments on Brightwork Article on SAP Best Practices
ByPrimary Researcher November 5, 2020February 6, 2021

… t misuse the best practices.
Audrey,
The reason you are puzzled is that you think that the only issue with the term best practices is that it is misused.
The problem is that the term has been demonstrated to be false by academic study.
Best practices were used to sell ERP as I cover in the article How to Understand the Logic to Sell ERP Systems.
If you have ever used an ERP system, you know they don’t contain” best practices.”
Something you will note is that those that use the term best practices don’t provide evidence that …

How to Understand The False Basis of the Oracle Versus Google Lawsuit
ByPrimary Researcher November 3, 2020April 21, 2023

… the same IP in Microsoft Office? SAP introduced a touted database as innovative but was, as we cover in the article Did SAP Reinvent the Wheel with HANA?, simply backward engineered from other databases. They also, as we cover in the article Why S/4HANA Should be Free, introduced an ERP system in S/4HANA that was an upgrade to ECC, but was declared by SAP as the logical but not “legal successor” to ECC — meaning it would not be covered as an upgrade by support.
Cloud providers, which are not technically categorized as software vendors, are quite innovative — but …

… commercial vendors. However, we still interact with open-source vendors.
(potential) Partner #7: A Small Fledgeling ERP Vendor
A small fledgling ERP vendor owner reached out and asked if we could promote their ERP system. When we reviewed the ERP system, it did not seem finished. We never actually partnered with this firm, but we did spend some time discussing things with them.
Total Time Wasted
Roughly 1.5 days.
(potential) Partner #8: With an ex-Forrester Sales Person
This partnership started due to a Forrester salesperson who had left Forrester. We agreed in principle to the partnership because …

… Normandy. After securing the beach head of y2k they built supply chain using F1 student visa’s underground rail road lobbying for more relaxed regime for importing more Indians. – Indians Are Gatekeepers to IT Jobs & Deny US IT Opportunities
In the article How the Y2K Issue Was Deliberately Exaggerated by ERP Vendors, we cover how not only Indians and elite Indian interests overstated Y2K, but many companies pushed the Y2K story for money.

Is Blockchain All that Innovative or is it Being Overhyped?
ByPrimary Researcher August 20, 2020March 25, 2021

… financial and supply chain systems to companies. Therefore, this video’s explanation appears to be describing a situation that was true before systems being implemented at companies. The video also proposes that companies need to investigate EDI solutions to enable the supply chain ledger. However, once again, EDI systems predate ERP systems that began to be implemented in the 1980s.
In the video, the Capgemini representative also proposes that an IoT layer is required between the supply chain/physical layer and the digital layer. However, this already exists in companies and governments, and there is no IoT layer required. The …

How Scott Bickley Engaged in Mosaic Plagiarism from Brightwork on SAP HANA?
ByPrimary Researcher August 15, 2020April 21, 2023

… entry into the database market segment. HANA is touted as being superior in performance when working with SAP applications vs. alternate database solutions, but objective benchmarks are lacking. Additionally, the adoption of S/4HANA necessitates adoption of the HANA DB as it is the only certified solution for S/4HANA ERP.
This quote is curious because, at this point, there were few articles written about SAP proving its claims with benchmarks. In fact, even today, there are few articles that question SAP on their exaggerated claims about HANA.
Brightwork covered this topic in detail in the article The Four Hidden …

Why Couldn't Gorbachev Figure Out The Strategic Defense Initiative or Star Wars Was Fake?
ByPrimary Researcher August 3, 2020May 6, 2022

… were. This is in retrospect, not as if the articles were written without having been able to see what happened.
Most of the coverage was deferential to the SDI. And this is true even though SDI promotional videos from the 1980s are completely insane.
In analyzing other major projects like ERP systems, again the fact that the reality never lived up to the promises, was similarly not exposed. I wrote the book The Real Story Behind ERP to expose the academic literature on how poorly these systems had performed. We are now going through a period of enormous exaggeration of …

Safety Stock

How is DDMRP Buffer Stock Different from Safety Stock?
ByPrimary Researcher July 20, 2020January 11, 2024

… to calculate safety stock external to the MRP system, which is explained in Brightwork Explorer and Safety Stock Calculation. And one does not need to use the dynamic safety stock calculation within the ERP system, and in fact, most company’s don’t. However, static safety stock settings are primarily used because companies invest little in maintaining their systems. Not because this is necessarily the case. Although ERP systems and external planning systems also make it difficult to review safety stocks related to one another.
We are absolutely no fan of how safety stocks are maintained. However, there is …

Lokad, you should spend some time in the world. I work implementing ERP and SC solutions, and you wouldn’t believe how many businesses, throughout the world, don’t even use ANY automated planning tools. MRP, DDMRP, APS, nothing. They manually plan each order individually. Most of these businesses have NO S&OP process that is linked to SC or even an …
