1. An ERP system manages a company's resources like products, customers, suppliers, employees, facilities, finances, etc. It integrates data across departments for improved communication, productivity and efficiency.
2. Originally, departments used separate information systems like custom programs or spreadsheets. This led to data silos with inefficient exchange of information between departments.
3. The development of local area networks and client-server computing in the late 1980s/1990s allowed departments to connect their systems and exchange data seamlessly, addressing the data silo issue. This paved the way for integrated ERP systems spanning all company resources.
The document discusses the evolution and history of ERP systems from inventory control packages in the 1960s to extended ERP systems today. It describes how ERP systems evolved from materials requirements planning (MRP) systems in the 1970s to manufacturing resource planning (MRP II) systems in the 1980s to integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems in the 1990s that began to incorporate additional modules. Today's extended ERP systems provide connections to functions like customer relationship management (CRM) and supply chain management (SCM). The document also outlines some of the benefits and challenges of implementing ERP systems for organizations.

The document introduces data warehouses and discusses the differences between online transaction processing (OLTP) and online analytical processing (OLAP). It notes that a data warehouse is a subject-oriented, integrated collection of data that helps analysts make informed decisions. OLTP systems emphasize fast processing of short transactions, maintaining integrity, and throughput, while OLAP systems handle complex queries, aggregations, and response time.
Haiku Deck is a presentation tool that allows users to create Haiku style slideshows. The tool encourages users to get started making their own Haiku Deck presentations which can be shared on SlideShare. In just a few sentences, it pitches the idea of using Haiku Deck to easily create visual presentations.
A computer virus is a malicious program that can replicate itself and spread from one computer to another without permission. It can quickly use all available memory, modify or erase data, and show annoying messages. Viruses are a type of malware, along with worms, Trojans, spyware, and zombies.

This document discusses automation efforts at Rourkela Steel Plant in India. It describes the implementation of an Integrated Materials Management System to improve procurement and inventory management. An Electronic Procurement System was also implemented using an online portal to increase transparency and reduce costs. The plant's Production Planning and Control system was automated to better track orders, inventory, and quality control. The document concludes that the plant could benefit further from implementing an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to integrate business processes and information flow across departments.
Tata Steel Group reported its consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013. While Indian operations saw robust growth due to ramped up expansion, European operations improved in the last quarter due to increased volumes. Overall, the Group saw increased steel deliveries and turnover compared to the previous fiscal year. However, profit declined significantly due to an impairment charge related to depressed demand in Europe. The Group aims to further expand capacity in India and improve competitiveness in Europe.
This document discusses machining forces and Merchant's Circle Diagram (MCD). It begins by explaining the importance and purposes of determining cutting forces. It then describes the different cutting force components for turning, drilling and milling operations. Next, it introduces MCD and how it can be used to represent cutting forces and their relationships. The document provides examples of how MCD can be constructed and used to determine other forces, friction, shear strength, power consumption and more. It concludes by presenting solutions to example problems applying MCD calculations.
This document discusses using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to select the head of an educational institute. It presents AHP as a decision-making tool to prioritize selection criteria and potential candidates. An example uses criteria like experience, administration skills, research activity, salary, and current role to evaluate professors applying for a head position. Pairwise comparisons and a hierarchical structure are used to calculate priority vectors and an overall priority for each professor. The results provide a ranked list of candidates to aid in selecting the best person for the role.
The document discusses applying the DeLone & McLean Information Systems Success Model to measure the success of e-commerce systems. It proposes updating the original model by adding a service quality dimension and combining individual and organizational impacts into a net benefits construct. The updated model contains six dimensions: system quality, information quality, service quality, use, user satisfaction, and net benefits. These dimensions provide a framework for organizing e-commerce success metrics identified in the literature. Case examples are used to demonstrate how the model can guide the identification and specification of e-commerce success metrics.
Organizations often struggle with costly and delayed ERP implementations when they focus solely on technology, ignore requirements definition, and rush from requirements to development without proper planning. Implementing a project management office (PMO) can help organizations avoid common pitfalls by providing structure, oversight, and governance over project scope, scheduling, resources, communication and reporting. Leveraging a PMO's roles in solution architecture, process improvement, mentoring, knowledge sharing, and facilitation can help ensure ERP implementations are successfully delivered on time and on budget.
