(ERP) is a process by which a company
(often a manufacturer) manages and
integrates the important parts of its business.
An ERP management information system
integrates areas such as planning,
purchasing, inventory, sales, marketing,
finance, human resources, etc.
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is businessmanagement software that allows an organizationto use a system of integrated applications tomanage the business.
Being Specific ERP systems are large computersystems that integrate application programs inaccounting (i.e., accounts receivable), sales (i.e.,order booking), manufacturing (i.e., productshipping) and the other functions in the firm.This integration is accomplished through adatabase shared by all the application programs.
A typical ERP system will use multiple components
of computer hardware and software to achieve the
integration.
A key ingredient of most ERP systems is the use of a
unified database to store data for various system
modules.

Enterprise resource
planning (ERP) is business
management software—usually a
suite of integrated applications—
that a company can use to store
and manage data from every
stage of business, including:
•Product planning, cost and
development
•Manufacturing
•Marketing and sales
•Inventory management
•Shipping and payment
At its core, ERP helps employees do their jobs more
efficiently by breaking down barriers between business
units. More specifically, an ERP solution:
Gives a global, real-time view of data that can enable
companies to address concerns proactively and drive
improvements
Improves financial compliance with regulatory standards
and reduces risk
Automates core business operations such as lead-to-
cash, order-to-fulfillment, and procure-to-pay processes
Enhances customer service by providing one source for
billing and relationship tracking.
Integrate financial information.
Integrate customer order information.
Standardize and speed up operations
processes.
Reduce inventory.
Standardize Human Resources information .
Common definitions.
Common database.
Update one module, automatically updates
others.
1. Enhance productivity, flexibility and customer responsiveness
By integrated core business processes together in one single application, it helps company maximize the efficiency of business process across the entire organization. Plant manufacturing can produces product faster. Increase on time delivery, Increase productivity, Increase ability to forecast demand to supplies, Increase order capacity, and improve customer service (Customer Relationship Management (CRM)).
2. Eliminate costs and inefficiencies
Using an ERP system to standardize business
processes can dramatically improve
company’s operation. ERP enable company to
manage relationship with vendor results in
lower cost for purchased items. Better resource
management results in more inventory turns
and decrease the level of inefficiencies.
3. Data consistency
Because an ERP system integrates all business
management functions, it decreases level of
inconsistency information from different
systems. Thus, by using ERP system,
managers can gather correct information and
make a right decision.
4. Extend your business using the Internet
By integrating all business functions together in
one system, it increases ability of a company to
use internet as part of the business strategy.
Web-enabled technology allows you to access
information, sell product, run business
processes, and communicate with customers
and partners at any time and from anywhere in
the world.
High cost.
Forced change of processes.
Very complex software.
Lack of trained people.
Flexibility of software system upgrades.
Implementation timelines.
Availability of internal technical knowledge and
resources.
Education and training.
Implementation strategy and execution.
Resistance to change.

Phase
Decision for perfect package
Number of ERP vendors
Screening eliminates the packages that are not at all suitable for the company’s business processes.
Selection is done on best few package available.
Package is selected on the basis of different parameter.
Test and certify the package and also check the coordination with different department
Selected package will determine the success or failure of the project.
Package must be user friendly
Regular up gradation should available.
Cost
Designs the implementation process.
Resources are identified.
Implementation team is selected and task
allocated.
Special arrangement for contegencies
Most crucial phase.
Process through which company can create a model of where they are standing now and where they want to go.
Model help the company to cover the functional gap
Implementation is going to involve a
significant change in number of
employees and their job responsibilities.
Process become more automated and
efficient.
Takes place along with the process of implementation.
Company trains its employees to implement and later, run the system.
Employee become self sufficient to implement the software after the vendors and consultant have left.
This phase is performed to find the weak
link so that it can be rectified before its
implementation.
The work is complete, data conversion is done, databases are up and running, the configuration is complete & testing is done.
The system is officially proclaimed.
Once the system is live the old system is removed
This is the maintenance phase.
Employees who are trained enough to handle problems those crops up time to time.
The post implementation will need a different set of roles and skills than those with less integrated kind of systems.
An organization can get the maximum value of these inputs if it successfully adopts and effectively uses the system.
