The document proposes upgrading Moorreesburg Pet Food Catering Company's ERP system to an ERP II system to improve supply chain management. It would involve reengineering their current ERP system and leveraging information across resources. The proposed ERP II system from SYSPRO would provide improved forecasting, distribution planning, order management and customer relationship tools. Benefits would include increased external integration, flexibility and worldwide integration across the supply chain. A phased implementation approach is outlined.
