Business Planning and Control System (BPCS) is an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software product.[1]

BPCS, the acronym for the software, is pronounced as "Bee picks" or "Bee pecks" in Spanish-speaking countries.[2]

Overview

BPCS was developed by Chicago-based System Software Associates (SSA), which later became SSA Global Technologies[1] (which was then acquired by Infor Global Solutions and rebranded as Infor LX), and is used to control the operations of manufacturing companies. BPCS includes MRP logic to manufacturing operations, provided there are high standards of data validity such as engineering specifications and inventory accuracy. It runs on several systems, with IBM I, being the most popular. It is written in AS/SET CASE tool, RPG, SQL and other languages supported on IBM I.[3]

Many of the BPCS modules are stand-alone,[1] in that companies can choose to implement only the financial applications, for example, and none of the manufacturing.

SSA began developing BPCS in the early 1980s; by the mid 1990s, the BPCS programs were used internationally. Inc. magazine ranked SSA as the 23rd fastest growing small public company in 1988,[3] and Business Week named it the 25th best small company.

BPCS Applications

BPCS Applications are very dependent on BPCS software version release, because SSA enters into partnerships with different specialty suppliers of applications such as Data Mining, Bar Coding, etc.,[4] and suppliers that integrated with a particular version.
