ERP
attempts to integrate all departments and functions across a company
onto a single computer system that can serve all those different
departments' particular needs. ERP integrates all the aspects
of the manufacturing industries with state of art technology viz.;
Graphical User Interface, Client-Server Technology, N-tire Architecture,
Object Oriented Technology, User Defined Reporting Querying Technology,
EDI, Web Based Connectivity with all external stake holders with
organization which includes Vendors, Customers,Dealer/Agents etc.
ERP handles all aspects of organization viz. Finance, Inventory,
Production, Quality Control, MRP II&Sales, purchase, Distribution,
I Machine/Operator Monitoring & Utilization, Excise, Personal
& Payroll. Sometimes it may not be possible to implement such
a extensive software in one stroke, but one can start with the
basic essential modules and at the later date, when required can
upgrade the system by building the upper layers or implement independent
modules of their choice. This ensures the continuous growth of
the system in place along with your business. ERP is highly parameterized
hence most of the requirements of your organization are satisfied
however it can be customized to any extent considering all the
peculiarities of your business, it means system adapts to your
practices and not you.
So what can ERP do?
ERP automates the tasks necessary
to perform a business process—such as order fulfilment, which
involves taking an order from a customer, shipping it and billing
for it. With ERP, when a customer service representative takes
an order, he or she has all the necessary information—the customer's
credit rating and order history, the company's inventory levels
and the shipping dock's trucking schedule. Everyone else in the
company can view the same information and has access to the single
database that holds the order. When one department finishes with
the order, it is automatically routed via the ERP system to the
next department. To find out where the order is at any point,
one need only log in to the system. With luck, the order process
moves like a bolt of lightning through the organization. |
