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 5B2 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. |
