term used to refer to a system that links

individual applications (for example,accounting and manufacturingapplications) into a single application thatintegrates the data and business processes

of the entire business.

Origins of ERP Systems ERP systems grew out of a function called materials

requirements planning (MRP) which was used toallocate resources for a manufacturing operation

MRP systems software ultimately became verycomplex allowing for efficiencies of scale notpreviously possible

Even more sophisticated MRP II systems began to

replace MRP systems in the 1980s By the early 1990s, other enterprise activities were

being incorporated into ERP systems

Origins of ERP Systems Today, an ERP system can encompass,

but is not limited to, the following

functions: Sales and order entry

Raw materials, inventory, purchasing,production scheduling, and shipping

Accounting

E-Business and ERP Systems An e-business must keep track of and process a

tremendous amount of information

Businesses realized that much of the information theyneeded to run an e-business stock levels atvarious warehouses, cost of parts, projected shippingdates could already be found in their ERP systemdatabases

A major part of the online efforts of many e-businesses involved adding Web access to an existingERP system


10/49

E-Business and ERP Systems Many e-businesses want the same

things from their business

infrastructure Thus, rather than custom build

applications, many companies prefer

to use prepackaged ERP systemsoftware, which is often more efficientand less expensive to implement


11/49

Cost of Implementing ERP

Systems Most businesses need extensive help from

consultants to configure their ERP systemsoftware around their existing businesspractices, or to suggest changes in businesspractices in order to better fit the ERP systemrequirements

This process of mutual adaptation is calledsystems integration

The consultants who supervise theintegration process are often referred to as

systems integrators


12/49

Outsourcing ERP Systems One response to the challenge of

managing a complex ERP system is to

outsource it Some businesses choose to outsource

not only the installation but also the

ERP system software

Supply Chain Management(SCM) Systems

With the advent of the Internet, e-businessesbegan to demand different things from their

SCM systems Most importantly, SCM systems vendors

(largely the same vendors that provide ERPsystems software) had to modify their

products to include a Web-based interface

The ultimate goal of a business ERP system iscomplete optimization of internal business

processes


17/49

Supply Chain Management(SCM) Systems

The two basic types of SCM system software are:

Supply Chain Planning software (SCP): usesmathematical models to predict inventory levelsbased on the efficient flow of resources into thesupply chain

Supply Chain Execution software (SCE): is usedto automate different steps in the supply chain suchas automatically sending purchase orders to vendorswhen inventories reach specified levels

Customer RelationshipManagement (CRM) Systems

Customer relationship management (CRM)systems, sometimes called e-CRM systems,

use technology to help an e-business manageits customer base

CRM allows an e-business to match customerneeds with product plans and offerings,

Data Mining/WebMining/Business Intelligence

Data mining is the process of usingmathematical techniques to look for

hidden patterns in groups of data,thereby discovering previously unknownrelationships among the many pieces of

information stored in a databaseA data warehouse is a database that

contains huge amounts of data, such as

customer and sales data

BEFORE SAP R/3

Systems didnt talk to the extent processesrequired, in spite of 20 years of IS labor

Human glue was required: to fill-in where systems dont talk

to reconcile multiple views of data to arrive at ananswer

to monitor hold-points to ensure procedures are

followed amidst the disorganization of being partpaper and part automated

to bridge systems and paper processes

Microsoft Dynamics

Formerly Microsoft Business Solutions GreatPlains

With Microsoft Dynamics, you can bring supply-chain

functions online and make information available forteam collaborationwherever your employees,vendors, partners and suppliers are.

Business portal functionality lets you provide supply-chain functions, documents, and information topeople across the chain, both inside and outside ofthe organization.

And you can use the same portal technology to letyour executives review and augment performancewhen, where, and how they need to.
