Evolution of SCM and ERP Systems Timeline 1960-2005

About this template

This slide uses six horizontal rows, each written as a small equation, to show how supply chain management and ERP systems developed between 1960 and 2005. Every row has a year on the left, two input boxes joined by a plus sign, an arrow leading to a result box, and an era label on the right. A downward arrow behind the years shows the direction of time. The rows run from inventory and purchasing in 1960 through MRP, MRP II and ERP to decentralized SCM in 2005. Use it for IT history, ERP training, logistics courses, or roadmap discussions. The title, years, box text and era labels can be edited, and the colors and shapes can be changed.
