Summary. The ERP Simulation Game is an innovative learning-by-doing approach to teaching ERP concepts. Using a continuous-time simulation, students are put in a situation in which they have to run their business with a real-life ERP (SAP ERP) system. The manufacturing game consists of producing and selling Muesli breakfast cereals to the German market.
During the course of the game, team members will: interact with suppliers and customers by sending and receiving orders, manage inventory levels, document the production and delivery of products, manage cash flow, and; make decisions about marketing, plant, and distribution-system improvements.
ERPsim is a business simulation game for SAP ERP and SAP S/4HANA in which participants use a real ERP system to manage their virtual company in a competitive market. Win or lose, participants will improve their knowledge of business processes and their understanding of how ERP systems are effective at managing those processes.
The ERP Simulation game is an innovative “learning-by-doing” approach to teaching ERP concepts. During this game, students have to run a business with a real-life ERP (SAP®). Groups of five to six students each operate a firm in a make-to-stock manufac-turing supply chain context, and must interact with suppliers and customers by sending

The ERPsim International Competition is the chance for your students to measure their skills against the best teams in the world! Each team will need to demonstrate their ability to manage their virtual company with the ERPsim Manufacturing Extended scenario, running on a live SAP S/4HANA system.Jun 10, 2021
In ERPsim, participants must work together under pressure, using SAP analytics, to be the winning team (e.g., the one with the highest profits). The game dynamics include involvement in the storyline, competition between teams, cooperation among teammates, and adversity.
ERPsim is especially designed to make sure that using the system is simple, that you have the tools to analyze the learners’ performance and that it simplifies the preparation of your course delivery.
Learners get to use a real SAP S/4HANA system to evaluate, input and see the result of their decisions. Our approach makes use of actual transactions provided by SAP as well as custom transactions, which provides a mix that is very close to what an ERP user would experience in the workplace.
Being able to create visualizations and validate their effectiveness on data that they own and on which they can have an impact is a powerful way for learners to improve their analytical skills.
HEC Montréal is a member of the SAP University Alliances since 1998. The ERPsim Lab is a leading member of this community, providing workshops and an International ERPsim Competition for all students of member institutions. As of March 2018, the ERPsim Lab is recognized as the leading SAP Next-Gen Chapter for simulation-based learning.
ERP systems are complex artifacts and to reap the expected benefits users need proper training. In recent years many business schools have incorporated ERP courses into their curriculum. However, given the complex concepts involved, students often lack the opportunity to experience the integration aspect of ERP systems. As a result, simulations such as ERPsim games have been adopted and shown to have a positive effect on student learning of ERP concepts.
Table 2 contains the pre- and post-game results. The first two measures are related to attitude toward SAP and the next three measures are related to ERP knowledge. As shown in Table 2, the mean in each measure increased from pre- to post-game, indicating a positive effect of the game on learning. A paired t -test was conducted and the improvement was significant in all but one measure, as shown at the bottom of Table 2.
