What is ERP?

Enterprise Resource Planning(ERP) covers the techniques and concepts employed for integrated

management of businesses as a whole, from the view point of the effective use of managementresources, to improve the efficiency of an enterprise.

ERP is a term usually used in conjunction with ERP software or an ERP system which is

intended to manage all the information and functions of a business or company from shared data

stores.

An ERP system typically has modular hardware and software units and services that

communicate on a local area network. The modular design allows a business to add or

reconfigure modules (perhaps from different vendors) while preserving data integrity in one

shared database that may be centralized or distributed.

Evolution of ERP:

The term of ERP is originally derived from Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP II) andMaterial Requirements Planning (MRP). MRP evolves into ERP when capacity planning activityand routing become a part of the standard software activity.

MRP and MRPII are both incremental information integration business process strategies that are

implemented using hardware and modular software applications linked to a central database that

stores and delivers business data and information.

The following diagram summarize the ERP system evolution

ERP is an outcome of 40 years of trial and error. It has evolved as a strategic tool because

of continuous improvement in the available techniques to manage business and the fast

growth of information technology.

Prior to 1960s, business had to rely on the traditional ways of inventory management to ensuresmooth functioning of the organization. These theories are called classical inventorymanagement of scientific inventory control methods. The most popularly known amongst them

is EOQ (Economic Order Quantity).

In this method, each item in the stock is analyzed for its ordering cost and the inventory carrying

cost. A trade off is established on a phased out expected demand of one year, and this way the

most economic ordering quantity can be decided. This technique in principle is a deterministic

way of managing inventory.

Along with EOQ, we find various inventory models such as fixed order quantity, periodic order

method, optional replenishment method, etc., which were in practice earlier. These theories werevery popular in pre-MRP era.

In 1960s, a new technique of Material Requirements Planning, popularly known as MRP, was

evolved. This was a proactive manner of inventory management. This technique fundamentally

explodes the end product demand obtained from the Master Production Schedule (MPS) for aspecified product structure (which is taken from Bill of Material) into a detailed schedule of

purchase orders or production orders, taking into account the inventory on hand. MRP is a

simple logic but the magnitude of data involved in a realistic situation makes it computationally

cumbersome. If undertaken manually, the entire process is highly time-consuming.

MRP successfully demonstrated its effectiveness in reduction of inventory, production, anddelivery lead times by improving coordination and avoiding delays, thus making commitments

more realistic. MRP proved to be a very good technique for managing inventory, but it did nottake into account other resources of an organization. In 1970s, this gave birth to a modified MRP

logic, popularly known as closed loop MRP. In this technique, the capacity of the organization to

produce a particular product is also taken into account by incorporating a module called capacityrequirements planning (CRP).

In 1980s, the need was felt to integrate the financial resource with the manufacturing activities.

From this evolved an integrated manufacturing management system called Manufacturing

Resource Planning (MRP II).

Transition from MRPII to ERP happened during 1980-90. The basic MRP II system design was

suffering from a few inherent drawbacks such as limited focus to manufacturing activities,

assumption of the mass or repetitive production set ups, and poor budgetary and costing controls.

The shortcomings of MRP II and the need to integrate new techniques led to the development of

a total integrated solution called ERP, which attempts to integrate the transactions of theorganization to produce the best possible plan. Today we see further development in the ERP

concept and evolution web-based ERP.

Inshort, ERP systems integrate all business management functions, including planning,

inventory/materials management, engineering, order processing, manufacturing, purchasing,accounting and finance, human resources, and more.

Benefits of ERP:

Installing an ERP system has many advantages both direct and indirect. The direct advantagesinclude improved efficiency, information integration for better decision-making, faster response

time to customer queries, etc. The indirect benefits include better corporate image, improved

customer goodwill, customer satisfaction, and so on.Benefits of the ERP system includes:

Reduction of lead time: The elapsed time between placing an order and receiving it is known as

the lead-time. It plays a significant role in purchasing and inventory control.So, in order toreduce the lead-timers the organization should have an efficient inventory management system,

which is integrated with the purchasing production planning and production departments. In this

era of just-in-time manufacturing the knowledge of the exact lead-timers for each and every item

is of paramount important for uninterrupted production.ERP system helps in automating this taskand thus makes inventory management more efficient and effective.

On-time shipment: Today, companies must be able to deliver customer-specific products(made-to-order) with the lead-time of standard, off-the-shelf products. The companies must be able to

change the mode of production from make to stock to make to order, yet retain the cost and time

advantages off-the-shelf products..Today, the ERP systems provide the freedom to changemanufacturing and planning methods as needs change, without modifying or reconfiguring the

plant layouts.With ERP systems, businesses are not limited to make-to-stock or make-to-order.

Instead many manufacturing and planning methods can be combined within same operation, withunlimited flexibility to choose the best method. By automating the procedures and tasks, the ERP

systems ensure on-time delivery of goods to the customers.

Reduction in cycle time:Cycle time reduction is the strategy of lowering the time it takes to

perform aprocessin order to improveproductivity.

Better customer satisfaction :Customer satisfaction means meeting or exceeding customersrequirements for are product or service. Assessment of the degree of satisfaction is usually made

on at least three measures:

Whether the product or service includes the features that are most important to thecustomer.

Whether the company can respond to the customers demands in a timely manner, arecriterion that is especially important for customer products and services.

Whether the product or service is free of defects and performs as expected.Improved supplier performance: The ERP systems provide vendor management and

procurement support tools designed to coordinate all aspects of the procurement process. Theysupport the organization in its efforts to effectively negotiate, monitor, control procurement costs

and schedules while assuring superior product quality. The supplier management and control

processes are comprised of features that will help the organization in managing the supplier

relations, monitoring the vendor activities and managing the supplier quality.

Increased flexibility: Flexibility is a key issue in the formulation of strategic plans incompanies. Flexibility means quickly changing something that is being done, or completely

changing to adjust to new product designs.ERP systems not only improve the flexibility of the

manufacturing operations, but also the flexibility of the organization as a whole. ERP systemshelp the companies to remain flexible by making the company information available across the

departmental barriers and by automating most of the process, the processes and procedures, thus

enabling the company to react quickly to the changing market conditions.

Reduction in quality costs: Quality is defined in many different ways-the excellence,conformance to specifications, fitness for use, value for the price, and so on. The Quality

Management Systems in ERP packages offer a state-of-the-art approach for documenting

specifications and enable an organization to standardize and simplify its quality assurance and

control functions. The ERP systems central database eliminates redundant specifications andensures that a single change to standard procedures takes effect immediately throughout the

organization. The ERP systems also provide tools for implementing Total Quality Management

programs within an organization.

Improved information accuracy and decision-making capability: The three fundamental

characteristics of information are accuracy, relevancy and timeliness. The information has to beaccurate, it must be relevant for the decision-maker and it must be available to the decision-

maker when he needs it. The strength of ERP systems are integration and automation and that is

why implementation of ERP systems will help in improving the accuracy of information and thus

help in better decision-making.

Disadvantages:

Customization is problematic. Reengineering business processes to fit the ERP system may damage competitiveness

and/or divert focus from other critical activities

ERP can cost more than less integrated and/or less comprehensive solutions. High switching costs increase vendor negotiating power vis a vis support, maintenance

and upgrade expenses.

Overcoming resistance to sharing sensitive information between departments can divertmanagement attention.

Integration of truly independent businesses can create unnecessary dependencies. Extensive training requirements take resources from daily operations.

REASON TO IMPLEMENT ERP

NEXT


19/37

19

Reasons to implement ERP NEXT in Bullows Company:

Before implementing ERP Next, the company had discrete system till 2004.It had broad legacy

system like outdated database, not compliant in the web environment, it is location specific and

there were feature defects in the inventory management module, i.e. not able to control stock

local report run time. So they went for ERP Next package. Before implementing ERP NEXT

package the company needs to collect the information related to each module individually. After

ERP being implemented they got all the supporting stuff that the company actually needs in a

single package.

ERP Next is a web-based tool that is especially suited to small business owners that need to

maximize their every resource, and who dont want to spend on costly hardware or software in

order to get the job done. ERP Next is an economic solution, and one that lets the user take care

of everything from CRM and SCM to sales, purchases and the management of every project the

company has to undertake.

Also, ERP Next can be used for managing existing inventories and for accounting operations of

every kind (IE, dealing with payrolls when the day comes).

This is all accomplished via a series of different modules that can be implemented as you see fit.

And it is important to note that ERP Next can support multiple companies (and also multiple

currencies) at once.

There are two ways in which you can be billed for using ERP Next: monthly, and per user (you

can have as many users as you want). You will have to see which plan works best for your actual

kind of organization yourself.

CLOUD COMPUTING


21/37

21

Definition:Cloud computing is a general term for anything that involves delivering

hosted services over the Internet. These services are broadly divided into

three categories: Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service

(PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). The name cloud computing was

inspired by the cloud symbol that's often used to represent the Internet in

flowcharts and diagrams.

A cloud service has three distinct characteristics that differentiate it from

traditional hosting. It is sold on demand, typically by the minute or the

hour; it is elastic -- a user can have as much or as little of a service as they

want at any given time; and the service is fully managed by the provider


22/37

22

(the consumer needs nothing but a personal computer and Internet access).

A cloud can be private or public. A public cloud sells services to anyone

on the Internet. (Currently, Amazon Web Services is the largest public

cloud provider.) A private cloud is a proprietary network or a data center

that supplies hosted services to a limited number of people.

The types of Cloud Computing are:

Infrastructure-as-a-Service like Amazon Web Services provides virtual serverinstance API) to start, stop, access and configure their virtual servers and storage.

Platform-as-a-service in the cloud is defined as a set of software and productdevelopment tools hosted on the provider's infrastructure. Developers create

applications on the provider's platform over the Internet. Force.com, (an

outgrowth of Salesforce.com) and GoogleApps are examples of PaaS.

In the software-as-a-service cloud model, the vendor supplies the hardwareinfrastructure, the software product and interacts with the user through a front-

end portal. SaaS is a very broad market. Services can be anything from Web-

based email to inventory control and database processing. Because the serviceprovider hosts both the application and the data, the end user is free to use the

service from anywhere.

IMPLEMENTATION OF

ERP PACKAGE


34/37

34

ERP IMPLEMENTATION PHASES:

The Bullows Company went through five phases of implementation while implementing ERP

Package with the help of SDLC (System Development Life Cycle) technology. They are:

1. As-is: In thisphase, user requirement i.e. the existing business processes is studied .

2. Would-be: In this step they decided on how their business processes should finallylook like. They used the technique of benchmarking to ensure that the targets set are

comparable to the best in the industry. Practically what can happen after completion of

implementation.

3. Customization: In this step, first the customizing needs are chalked out and then theactual job is handed over to the respective functional teams. In this ERP package isTailored according to companys need, i.e. functional requirements. This was the biggest

phase of the company.

4. Training: The training of users was started along side the test runs. Users belonging todifferent functionalities were trained in their respective functions.

5. Migration: When the parallel run has been successfully tried for the reasonable length oftime and when the users and implementation team felt absolutely confident it was time to

go-live.

6. Go-Live: Once the system is live, the legacy system was removed and the new systemwas used for doing business.

7. Post-Implementation: This phase generally support queries from the user minor changesin the report formats, as well as small changes in layouts of various printed formats like

purchase order etc.

AFTER

IMPLEMENTATION

BENEFITS TO THE

COMPANY:


36/37

36

AFTER IMPLEMENTATION BENEFITS TO THE COMPANY:

Advantages:

The key result area of the company in the legacy system was loose control, stock valuablereports were not reliable and so accounting reports were not reliable. In legacy system

there was no check for negative stock balance. As a result proper project-wise profit

reports were not good.

ERP is the cheapest which is one of the biggest advantages There is no major cost of switching, No company Re-engineer the business for the system. In fact the suitable system is

purchased which fulfill the requirement of the existing business process.

Overcoming resistance to sharing sensitive information between departments can divertmanagement attention - This is not at all an issue with ERP system.

No Extensive training required as this is simplest of all the system. Any lay man can becomfortable with the system as we just need to fill the form for order booking, Invoice,

Journal entry, etc.

There is no point of unnecessary dependencies due to integration. After using ERP Next, the way their business process has been customized has helped in

blocking negative element, an improved inventory management, and it is possible to

configure the system such that reliable project-wise profitability is generated. They arecurrently in the first phase and all improvement has been done. They are considering to

go for second phase so as to catch minor points to update their current system.

For Example: Bullows Companys actual business is in project undertaken in finishingpainting system. They are considering for second phase to configure the system so asproject-wise costing report is evaluated. Secondly, the Bullows Company had to adjust

within budget and to save cost they installed ERP Next .

Disadvantages:

Customization is problematic. ERPNEXT runs on a network connection. Took time in understanding the needs of users and understanding technical needs. Bullows Company had to crystallize the needs from the employee , as a result, time limit

extended toone years from three and a half month.
