Mr Michael Altenburger (MBus, WU Vienna)
worked for SAP as consultant in Germany, Austria, and Australia. In 1993, he
left SAP to found his own consulting company in Heidelberg (Germany), and in
1999, he sold his shares to PLAUT International Management Consulting. Michael
was appointed Director of PLAUT Australia in January 2000. In the meantime,
he has established his own consulting company in Australia. Michael has consulted
companies in nine European countries, in the USA, and in Australia/NZ. His customers
include BHP, Caltex, Comalco, Esso, FESTO, German Telekom, Hoechst, ICI, Mobil,
NEC, Phillips, Philip Morris, Siemens, and Telstra. Michael currently teaches
the subject 22782 'Business Process Integration with ERP'.
Mr Wolfgang Eddigehausen
was born and grew up in Germany. He studied at the Technical University in Darmstadt
where he earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Finance and Accounting.
After completing his degree, he started to work for a large German multi-national
company in 1986. Based on the subjects studied, it was a natural progression
getting involved in the Supply Chain Management. He gained a wealth of knowledge
in the warehousing and distribution areas as a project member in various countries
such as France, Great Britain, and South Africa. In 1992 he took up an offer
as a project manager for the SAP R/2 implementation of the Material Management
and Production Planning modules in South Africa. From there it was a small step
to get involved in SAP R/3, which he did when joining a local South African
consulting house in 1994. He is currently still working with the same company,
specializing on the SAP R/3 Logistics Modules, and lately on the SAP New Dimension
Product, APO.
He is a certified SAP consultant in Material Management (MM), Production Planning (PP), and Accelerated SAP (ASAP). During the last years he was involved in various activities and projects in Europe, South Africa, Singapore, Australia, and the USA. Currently residing in the USA, he is fully dedicated towards the Supply Chain Management area and the use of SAP APO in particular. His area of expertise includes not only the general Supply Chain Management area, but also a very detailed knowledge of the APO package. Knowing the problems accompanied with getting started on a new platform like APO, he decided to write this book to the benefit of all who need to gain an in-depth knowledge of APO.
