ERP and Supply Chain Management by Christian Ndubisi Madu,Chu-hua Kuei Pdf

Businesses today are faced with avalanche of information. There is need to effectively manage information to serve customers better. In today's highly competitive environment, businesses need to be able to organize and coordinate their information so that a single view of information is maintained by all the service channels. Information management can help to understand customers? wants and needs and integrate such in product design. It helps to manage inventory and reduces both cost and the cycle time to introduce new products to the marketplace. Time-to-market is a critical issue in achieving competitiveness and without the availability of timely and accurate information; it will not be possible to respond proactively to the changing market environment. This book is about ERP and Supply Chain Management. ERP is the short form for Enterprise Resource Planning. The aim of ERP is to integrate the functions of the different business units and departments such as finance, operations, accounting and human resources. This integration is necessary to organize and coordinate information that may be scattered in different departments and making them available in an organized format to the different decision centers where they may be needed. Through this integrative approach, the different functional units of the business are able to share a common database, exchange information, and have consistent view of their operations. This consistent view is also presented to the customer thus improving the quality of customer service. With the integration of the information system, the different functional departments work together to achieve common organizational goals and objectives. Without suchintegration, common customer services such as order processing would be difficult to track and inconsistent information may be relayed by the different departments to the customer. Supply chain management is an integral aspect of ERP. Businesses today focus on their core competence. It is no longer technically and economically feasible to focus on all activities. Rather, certain activities may be shifted to partners or vendors that have core competence in such areas. Mercedes Benz may find it better to subcontract its radios to Bose while focusing on its car designing. Yet, these two companies may need to share key information on customers? wants and needs as well as information on product designs. Integrating a supplier into the common database helps in providing quality products and services that will satisfy the needs of the customer. Information technology plays a critical role in effective development of ERP system. As many businesses develop online marketplace, it becomes even more important to develop a single view of transactions to all value chain partners including customers, manufacturer, suppliers and other vendors. This book therefore adopts a focus on ERP and Supply Chain Management to develop better plans to better serve the customer. It adopts a management and a systemic perspective of these issues and does not deal with the software aspects of ERP. The focus is on the fundamentals rather than on the advanced issues. The book is intended to help managers, executives, and students to understand the basic concepts of ERP and Supply Chain Management.

ERP Systems for Manufacturing Supply Chains by Odd Jøran Sagegg,Erlend Alfnes Pdf

ERP Systems for Manufacturing Supply Chains: Applications, Configuration, and Performance provides insight into the core architecture, modules, and process support of ERP systems used in a manufacturing supply chain. This book explains the building blocks of an ERP system and how they can be used to increase performance of manufacturing supply chains. Starting with an overview of basic concepts of supply chain and ERP systems, the book delves into the core ERP modules that support manufacturing facilities and organizations. It examines each module’s structure and functionality as well as the process support the module provides. Cases illustrate how the modules can be applied in manufacturing environments. Also covered is how the ERP modules can be configured to support manufacturing supply chains. Setting up an ERP system to support the supply chain within single manufacturing facility provides insight into how an ERP system is used in the smallest of manufacturing enterprises, as well as lays the foundation for ERP systems in manufacturing organizations. The book then supplies strategies for larger manufacturing enterprises and discusses how ERP systems can be used to support a complete manufacturing supply chain across different facilities and companies. The ERP systems on the market today tend to use common terminology and naming for describing specific functions and data units in the software. However, there are differences among packages. The book discusses various data and functionalities found in different ERP-software packages and uses generic and descriptive terms as often as possible to make these valid for as many ERP systems as possible. Filled with insight into ERP system’s core modules and functions, this book shows how ERP systems can be applied to support a supply chain in the smallest of manufacturing organizations that only consist of a single manufacturing facility, as well as large enterprises where the manufacturing supply chain crosses multiple facilities and companies.

Enterprise Resource Planning: Global Opportunities and Challenges by Hossain, Liaquat,Patrick, Jon David,Rashid, Mohammad A. Pdf

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) refers to large commercial software packages that promise a seamless integration of information flow through an organization by combining various sources of information into a single software application and a single database. The outcome of ERP itself is still a mystery, but the trends and issues it has created will be the enigma that future generations will have to solve. Traditionally, separate units were created within an organization to carry out various tasks, and these functional areas would create their own information systems thereby giving rise to systems that were not integrated. ERP strives to provide a solution to these problems. Enterprise Resource Planning Solutions and Management examines the issues that need to be further studied and better understood to ensure successful implementation and deployment of ERP systems.
