Requirement Study and Solutioning for a Customer

Here is a Challenge for you

to test your "Solutioning" Skills.

The Requirement is as follows:

You need to design something so that the 

waking time of a Customer is synchronized 

with the Sun Rise so that he/she can 

wake up and go to work on time.

An SAP Consultant provided this solution, 

"Lets Re-design the house so that when the first ray

of sun hits the horizon, a signal will be transmitted 

to the Satellite, a software will be written 

to extrapolate the calculations with a specially

designed algorithm provided by SAP's APO system,

this algorithm will be so powerful and intelligent 

that you don't need to understand it.

This is quite complex as it will involve 

more than Mixed-Integer Linear Programming 

as well as Genetic Algorithm.

The results from the combined Algorithms will then

be CIFted (Core-Interfaced) back to the backend 

ERP system where a program will be written to automatically 

generate a Maintenance Notification in the 

Plant Maintenance with a default Task Code from the Task Catalog

where by the document will be 

beamed using a separate module which requires 

development as it will trigger a signal to a 

head band which the customer must wear during 

his/her sleep, In this way, the customer 

will 100% wake up on time everyday, see

All these will be provided in the Hana Solution

so all calculations are done in the Speed of Hana"

The Samsung Smart Phone Sales Man

would say,

Please buy any Samsung Smart Phone

which has an Alarm

(which by the way can be sync to 

the time of SunRise)

(A version of this SAP Joke I heard
from an Indian Consultant when
teaching in SAP Singapore)
