How does ERP work?• ERP centralizes all of the Enterprise information• It eases the exchange of data among corporate
divisions• Unites all major business practices • Runs on multiple platforms – AS/400, Unix, client/
server networks• PC’s are connected to more powerful computers
that feed them data• Each module works separately performing specific
data-processing functions

ERP Module Examples
1. Order Entry modules converts a customer’s purchasing requirement into terms that allows ERP to track it through the sales order fulfillment process.
2. Master Schedule modules provides visibility of future load, inventory investment, production, and delivery commitments. ERP (via MRP) checks the
3. BOM module for each part's specific characteristics necessary for planning, scheduling, and purchasing.

ERP Module Examples (cont’d)
4. Inventory-management module captures information needed to provide analysis of inventory as it pertains to turnover ratios, accuracy, excess and obsolescence and transaction activity for inventory investment.
5. Shop floor module uses production work orders, manages the input of the workload to the shop floor. This application includes the flexibility to change a production work order's start date, due date, bill of material, routing, and quantity.

ERP by Example (cont’d)
6. Cost Accounting module provides the cost calculations and summary information for accurate manufacturing and accounting management for product costs.
5. Purchasing module provides control of requisitioning, purchase order issuance, and receipts tracking. Purchase Order’s manages critical purchasing information necessary to make important management decisions.

What’s the big deal?
• Cuts production and inventory costs• Improves customer service• Plans and forecasts product demand• Improves cost allocation• Measures and accounts for product waste• Ensures the required materials are available
when needed
10David O Campbell, JrBusiness Transformation Solutions
Investment Justification
• Plants become more efficient• Increased delivery/performance• Reduced lead times• Increased inventory accuracy• Reduced work-in-process inventory
11David O Campbell, JrBusiness Transformation Solutions
Business Risks
• High initial investment ($100M for large companies is common)
• Uncertainties (software)• Employees are given much greater
responsibilities
12David O Campbell, JrBusiness Transformation Solutions
Long-term/Short-term Cost Factors
• Implementation costs• Consultant and internal costs• Maintenance costs
13David O Campbell, JrBusiness Transformation Solutions
ERP’s Impact on Industry• Lowers total costs in complete supply chain • Shortens throughput times • Reduces stock to a minimum • Enlarges product assortment • Improves overall product quality • Increases reliability of delivery dates • Improves customer service• Coordinates demand, supply and production
14David O Campbell, JrBusiness Transformation Solutions
Where do you get ERP?
• SAP• ERPLX• ERP/LN• Oracle• People-Soft
• J.D.Edwards• Microsoft• IBM• Many smaller
companies
Some of the sources of ERP software are:

How is ERP implemented?
Who is responsible?When can it be done?Where are we now?
Where are we going?Where do we start?
16David O Campbell, JrBusiness Transformation Solutions
Who’s responsible for implementation?
Implementation Team Leaders/Members•Project leader (IS Department)•Module/Phase leaders (subject area experts)•Individual team members
17David O Campbell, JrBusiness Transformation Solutions
When can implementation be done?
• Establishing a Project Plan– Designs the implementation process.– Resources are identified.– Implementation team is selected and task
allocated.– Special arrangement for contingencies.
18David O Campbell, JrBusiness Transformation Solutions
Where are we now? (pre-ERP)
Software–MRP/MRPII–Other
Hardware–Mainframe–Client server
Personnel
19David O Campbell, JrBusiness Transformation Solutions
Where are we going? (post-ERP)
Expected Benefits–Improved process flow–Reduced Inventories–Better data and analysis–Better customer information–Improved margins–Others
20David O Campbell, JrBusiness Transformation Solutions
What is really needed?
• Module Selection/Priority• Full or Partial Implementation?
– Must have– Want– Do not need
21David O Campbell, JrBusiness Transformation Solutions
Where do we start?
• Pre evaluation Screening• Evaluation Package• Project Planning• GAP analysis• Reengineering• Team training• Testing• Post implementation

23David O Campbell, JrBusiness Transformation Solutions
Pre evaluation screening
• Decision for perfect package

Measuring ERP’s Performance
• Average transaction time• Interface complexity - “number of screens”• Availability (uptime)• Performance metrics - “on time delivery”
36David O Campbell, JrBusiness Transformation Solutions
How does ERP affect the customer?
• Reduces errors in ordering, billing, shipping• Decreases lead time• Increases quality• Includes the customer in the process -
“Extranets”
