Enterprise resource planning (ERP) integrates core business processes through software. Popular ERP software includes SAP, Oracle, and Ramco Systems. An ERP system links functional areas like finance, supply chain management, human resources, and manufacturing. Successful ERP implementation provides visibility across departments and streamlines workflows, while failure can result from high costs, long implementation timelines, and poor customization.

2. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is the integrated
management of core business processes, often in real-
time and mediated by software and technology. These
business activities can include:
• product planning, purchase
• manufacturing or service delivery
• marketing and sales
• inventory management
• shipping and payment
• finance

3.  The greatest benefit organizations get from implementing ERP is its ability to link
various functional areas of business tightly through the software.
 Most popular ERP software: SAP, Oracle, Ramco Systems, PeopleSoft and JD Edwards

5. ERP Components
 Financial Management
At the core of ERP are the financial modules, including general ledger,
accounts receivable, accounts payable, billing and fixed asset
management.
 Other functionality in the financial management modules will include
budgets, cash-flow, expense and tax reporting. The evaluation team
should focus on areas that are most important to support the strategic
plans for your organization.
 Business Intelligence
Business Intelligence (BI) has become a standard component of most ERP
packages. In general, BI tools allow users to share and analyse the data
collected across the enterprise and centralized in the ERP database. BI can
come in the form of dashboards, automated reporting and analysis tools used
to monitor the organizational business performance. BI supports informed
decision making by everyone, from executives to line managers and
accountants.

6. ERP Components
 Supply Chain Management
Supply Chain Management (SCM), sometimes referred to as logistics, improves the flow
of materials through an organization by managing planning, scheduling, procurement,
and fulfillment, to maximize customer satisfaction and profitability. Sub modules in SCM
often include production scheduling, demand management, distribution management,
inventory management, warehouse management, procurement and order
management..
 Human Resource Management
Human resource management ERP modules should enhance the employee experience
– from initial recruitment to time tracking. Â Sub modules can include payroll,
performance management, time tracking, benefits, compensation and workforce
planning. Self-service tools that allow managers and employees to enter time and
attendance, choose benefits and manage PTO are available in many ERP solutions.

7. ERP Components
 Manufacturing Operations
Manufacturing modules make manufacturing operations more
efficient through product configuration, job costing and bill of
materials management. ERP manufacturing modules often
include Capacity Requirements Planning, Materials
Requirements Planning, forecasting, Master Production
Scheduling, work-order management and shop-floor control
 Integration
Key to the value of an ERP package is the integration between
modules, so that all of the core business functions are connected.
Information should flow across the organization so that BI reports
on organization-wide results.

8. ENTERPRISE ERP TRENDS

9.  Mobile ERP
Executives and employees want real-time access to information,
regardless of where they are. It is expected that businesses will
embrace mobile ERP for the reports, dashboards and to conduct
key business processes.
 Cloud ERP
The cloud has been advancing steadily into the enterprise for
some time, but many ERP users have been reluctant to place data
cloud. Those reservations have gradually been evaporating,
however, as the advantages of the cloud become apparent.

10.  Social ERP
There has been much hype around social media and how
important —or not — it is to add to ERP systems. Certainly,
vendors have been quick to seize the initiative, adding social
media packages to their ERP systems with much fanfare. But
some wonder if there is really much gain to be had by integrating
social media with ERP.
 Two-tier ERP
Enterprises once attempted to build an all-encompassing ERP
system to take care of every aspect of organizational systems.
But some expensive failures have gradually brought about a
change in strategy – adopting two tiers of ERP.

19. Benefits of ERP
• Complete visibility into all the important processes, across various
departments of an organization (especially for senior management
personnel).
• Automatic and coherent workflow from one department/function to
another, to ensure a smooth transition and quicker completion of
processes.
• A unified and single reporting system to analyze the statistics/status
etc. in real-time, across all functions/departments.
• Since same (ERP) software is now used across all departments,
individual departments having to buy and maintain their own
software systems is no longer necessary.

20. ERP Implementation

21. DISADVANTAGES OF ERP
• The cost of ERP Software, planning, customization,
configuration, testing, implementation, etc. is too high.
• ERP deployments are highly time-consuming – projects
may take 1-3 years (or more) to get completed and fully
functional.
• Too little customization may not integrate the ERP
system with the business process & too much
customization may slow down the project and make it
difficult to upgrade.
• The cost savings/payback may not be realized
immediately after the ERP implementation & it is quite
difficult to measure the same.
