Abstract: Abstract An increasing number of ERP providers offer support of Lean Management in their software. As part of a larger research project this article gives an insight into which elements of Lean Management are already covered by ERP-systems. More than 150 different functionalities within the ERP-systems that support Lean Management were identified. Not surprisingly production planning, scheduling and pull principles are supported by most of the functionalities, followed by performance and visual management. A detailed analysis of a selection of five ERP-systems showed that they have more than 50 % of the functionalities in common. But they are less realized in the basic system but in up to 13 different modules with the focus in production.
