First place for the National Technical University of Athens at the ERPsim EMEA 2024 competition.
An exciting business game and learning experience offered by the ERPsim Lab - HEC Montréal. Universities from 14 Countries of Europe/ Africa and the Middle East (Greece, Azerbaijan, Finland, Kazakhstan, Hungary, France, Uzbekistan, Germany, Portugal, Qatar, Lebanon, Morocco, Czechia, Slovenia) and 21 registered teams competed in the extended manufacturing game, using SAP S/4HANA and executing business processes from production and sales to finance.
We are happy to participate and excited for the 1st place!!
NTUA’s team consists of the students:
Dimitrios Gkerzelis,
Lefteris Tsigaridas,
Kostas Zisis,
George Kalavanos,
Katerina Athanasopoulou
and coaches:
Sotiris Gayialis
Giorgos Papadopoulos

Thank you so much! Poor Bunny game
The ability to integrate multiple perspectives under pressure is much like adaptive decision-making in basketball bros, where reading the situation and adjusting quickly is key to success.
It is also notable that success in such competitions depends heavily on collaboration between team members and coaches, highlighting the importance of coordinated roles and shared strategy. That cooperative dynamic is similar to team-based strategy environments like baseball bros, where aligned actions lead to better collective performance.
From a systems perspective, ERP competitions demonstrate how interconnected processes produce emergent outcomes. Production decisions influence finance, which affects sales strategy, creating a tightly coupled environment. That type of structured complexity aligns with simulation and generative modeling concepts found in nanomaker, where outputs depend on layered interactions between variables.
The achievement also reflects precision in timing and execution, since ERP simulations often reward teams that can coordinate decisions efficiently across multiple business functions. That synchronization of actions is similar to performance timing mechanics in speed stars, where small improvements in execution significantly impact overall results.
