The document discusses enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. It defines ERP as software that integrates all functions of a business, including planning, manufacturing, sales, and marketing. It describes the typical ERP implementation process, which includes steps like project planning, gap analysis, configuration, testing, and training. The benefits of ERP systems are also outlined, such as reduced costs, improved customer satisfaction, and increased flexibility. Major ERP vendors like SAP are also introduced.

7. Why ERP ?

8. Why ERP?

9. ERP Implementation

10. ERP Implementation phases
1. Project Planning
2. Gap Analysis
3. Business Process Re-engineering (BPR)
4. Configuration
5. Project Team Training
6. Testing
7. End User Training
8. Going live
9. Post-Implementation

11. 1. Project Planning
 Designs the implementation process
 Project plan is developed. Roles are
identified and responsibilities are
assigned.
 This phase will decide when to begin the
project, how to do it and when the project
is supposed to be completed.

12. 2. Gap Analysis
 The gap between the existing company requirements
and what the ERP package is offering is analyzed.
 When the ERP package does not meet the company’s
full requirements then the company can simply agree to
live without a particular function or one can opt for :-
a) Upgrade, or
b) Identifying a third party product that might fill
the gap, or
c) Altering the ERP source code.

13. 4. Configuration
 A prototype of the actual business
processes of the company is used for
thorough testing of the model in a
controlled environment.
 Configuring reveals not only the strengths
of a company’s business process but also-
and perhaps more importantly - its
weaknesses.

14. 3.Business Process Reengineering
 In-depth study of existing systems/processes is
required before ERP is considered.
 This study brings out deficiencies of the existing
system/process.
 BPR attempts to re-structure and re-organize the
human resources, functional areas, Man-
Machine interfaces in the organization.
 Hence BPR attempts to maximize productivity

15. 5. Implementation Team Training
 This is the phase where the company
trains its employees to implement and
later, run the system.
 After implementation, the company to be
self-sufficient in running the ERP system,
it should have a good in-house team that
can handle the various situations.

16. 6. Testing
 This is the phase where one try to break
the system.
 The test cases must be designed
specifically to find the weak links in the
system and these bugs should be fixed
before going live.

17. 7. End-user Training
 In this phase the actual users of the
system will be given training on how to
use the system.
 The employees who are going to use the
new system are identified. Their current
skills are noted and based on the current
skill levels, they are divided into groups.
Then each group is given training on the
new system.

18. 8. Going live
 The system is officially proclaimed
operational.
 Once the system is ‘live’, the old system is
removed, and the new system is used for
doing business.

19. 9. Post implementation phase
 There should be people, within the
company, who have the technical prowess
to make the necessary enhancements to
the system as and when required. The
system must be upgraded as and when
new versions or new technologies are
introduced.
