| erp in operations management: Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Avraham Shtub, 2013-03-26 To an increasing extent, corporations are recognizing the strategic role of the operations function. These organizations are discovering that a focus on customer needs is effective only if the operations function is designed and managed to meet those needs. From acquiring raw materials to fabricating parts, to assembling products, to customer delivery, a total systems perspective can enable us, in the ideal, to fashion an operations function like the inner workings of a finely tuned machine (Like clockwork as we used to say in the days before electronic time pieces!). Life would be uninteresting without change, however, so we can be thankful that operating systems are dynamic in nature. We alter one element and others are affected. We introduce variability at one point and watch the ripple effects over time. These system behaviors can be difficult to grasp and even more difficult to predict. In addition to understanding the dynamic, integrated nature of systems it is important to understand and to practice the tools supporting the management of these systems. Teaching the concepts of modern information systems and the ability of these systems to enhance competitiveness are an important challenge to any I.E or MBA program. |

| erp in operations management: Enterprise Resource Planning: Global Opportunities and Challenges Hossain, Liaquat, Patrick, Jon David, Rashid, Mohammad A., 2001-07-01 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. |
| erp in operations management: Enterprise Resource Planning K. Ganesh, Sanjay Mohapatra, S. P. Anbuudayasankar, P. Sivakumar, 2014-06-18 This book introduces the fundamental principles of understanding business requirements to apply enterprise resource planning (ERP) in order to meet business needs. The book also helps readers understand the usage of ERP for monitoring and controlling business processes, while providing practical oriented solutions to the design and implementation of ERP. Using the provided framework, a business can decide to provide more value at lower cost which increases its competitive advantage. This should be an ideal reference for executives, researchers and consultants in project management of ERP. ERP can be considered to be an integrated package of business process. The scope of ERP determines the extent of automation of business process. For example if ERP covers Human Resource (HR) and finance business processes only, then business process related HR and finance are automated. Typically business process that are automated in HR and finance employee entry and exist process, allocation of employee ID, payroll, processing , income tax planning and actual deduction etc. There is seamless flow of employee data and information is available at an effectively faster rate to take appropriate decision. As custom demand increases, there is a need to meet the changing scenario with speed and efficiency. While there is a need to increase productivity, there is also a need to reduce cost of operation. The repetitive business processes can be handled effectively by automating them and freeing human resources for meeting other uncertainties. These automations not only should be done for each department, but also should cut across different departments. Thus there is a need for automating business processes at enterprise level. This enterprise level automation started with MRP, then MRP II, ERP and then finally open source ERP have taken centre stage. Out of the standard products available in the market, an organization can chose an ERP product for implementation, depending on the features available and the total cost of ownership (TCO). This comparison helps an organization to choose the product that best suits the needs for the organization. Enterprise Resource Planning: Fundamentals of Design and Implementation highlights these concepts while discusses different good practices to design and implement ERP. |
| erp in operations management: Enterprise Resource Planning and Supply Chain Management Karl E. Kurbel, 2013-08-23 This book is about running modern industrial enterprises with the help of information systems. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is the core of business information processing. An ERP system is the backbone of most companies' information systems landscape. All major business processes are handled with the help of this system. Supply chain management (SCM) looks beyond the individual company, taking into account that enterprises are increasingly concentrating on their core competencies, leaving other activities to suppliers. With the growing dependency on the partners, effective supply chains have become as important for a company's success as efficient in-house processes. This book covers typical business processes and shows how these processes are implemented. Examples are presented using the leading systems on the market – SAP ERP and SAP SCM. In this way, the reader can understand how business processes are actually carried out in the real world. |

| erp in operations management: Managing Enterprise Resource Planning Adoption and Business Processes Chuck C.H. Law, 2019-04-03 The recent decades have witnessed many ERP failures attributable to a plethora of mistakes, and the author writes this book aiming to correct these malpractices concerning ERP adoption. The author presents an adoption methodology, called the Full Lifecycle ERP Adoption Reference (FLEAR) model, to promote holistic project management. Furthermore, from a holistic perspective, successful ERP adoption cannot be achieved in isolation of other business and organizational issues such as IT-business strategic alignment, IT governance, change management, and business process changes. Unlike many ERP books in the market which cover mostly technical deployment issues, this book also addresses the aforesaid business-related issues. Theoretical discussions are supported by extensive research, and practical experience drawn from North American and international contexts to benefit practitioners involved in international assignments. Thus, this book will benefit not only MIS personnel, but also non-technical business practitioners. It will also be a useful supplement for university-level MIS and business process management courses. |

| erp in operations management: ERP Avraham Shtub, Reuven Karni, 2009-12-09 ERP: The Dynamics of Supply Chain and Process Management is a complete updating and expansion of Avraham Shtub’s award-winning 1999 text Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP): The Dynamics of Operations Management. New chapters, written together with his co-author Reuven Karni, cover enterprise process modeling; design of business processes; a complete revision of the original chapter on the integrated order-fulfillment process using ERP; business process management; business process improvement; and a new appendix on simulating process life cycles: using serious games as teaching aids. MERPTM is designed to facilitate the teaching of integrated operations of a business organization with a focus on corporate performance management. It reflects a fully live environment and allows students to participate in a virtual organization made real and dynamic as minute-by-minute business events and conditions unfold. This book is ideal for use in academic and executive programs aimed at teaching students how integrated systems work. It is suitable as a textbook for the basic MBA Operations Management course or as a text for courses on ERP systems and the development of business processes. In an industrial engineering program it could serve to give students their first, and perhaps only, introduction to business issues like market demand and supplier relationships. I used Avy Shtub’s award-winning 1999 book on ERP and the accompanying Operations Trainer software in several leading MBA programs in the United States and Europe. Most of the courses were delivered in traditional classroom settings but some of them were offered fully online. The current revision and second edition of the book, co-written with Reuven Karni, adds new materials with an emphasis on services and business processes, provides excellent, detailed examples, and revises old ones of the previous edition. The book is nicely complemented and enhanced by the addition of a unique, dynamic, online simulation package MERPTM that represents a major upgrade to the old, PC-based Operations Trainer. In my reading, the book’s first main theme, Integrated Production and Order Management (IPOM), is a different, and perhaps more valid, take on the many issues associated with Supply Chain Management. The authors touch on all facets and issues of Operations and Supply Chain Management and provide a theory-based and sound, practice-proven approach to the problems present in any organization. The second main theme covers the design and improvement of enterprise and business processes, touching on facets and issues relating to process-based enterprise management. I would highly recommend the book and the accompanying software to any instructor teaching Operations/Supply Chain Management, Business Process Management or Industrial Engineering. -- Gyula Vastag (Corvinus University of Budapest, Hungary) |
| erp in operations management: ERP Systems for Manufacturing Supply Chains Odd Jøran Sagegg, Erlend Alfnes, 2020-02-24 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. |

| erp in operations management: ERP and Supply Chain Management Christian Ndubisi Madu, Chu-hua Kuei, 2005-06-10 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 in operations management: New Information Technologies in Organizational Processes Ojelanki Ngwenyama, Lucas D. Introna, Michael D. Myers, Janice I. DeGross, 2013-06-05 A number of relatively new technologies, such as Enterprise Resource Planning systems, the Internet and intranets, have entered the organizational landscape. These technologies have not only enabled a wide range of social and organizational transformations, but have also challenged much of the received wisdom that operates in academic and industrial discourses. This book attempts to capture some of these strands by discussing the social and organizational issues surrounding the implementation and use of these new technologies in organizational processes. Some of the contributions are critical and reflexive by nature, while others offer rich insights through the analysis of cases. The book represents a wide scope of traditions of thought, as well as research approaches, in addressing these emerging issues. A number of practical and theoretical topics are discussed in detail, including: Implementation of ERP; Electronic commerce; Intranet implementation; The management of standards; Issues of organizational analysis; Understanding BPR tools; Collaborative technologies; Knowledge work environments. This book contains the selected proceedings of the International Working Conference on New Information Technologies in Organizational Processes: Field Studies and Theoretical Reflections on the Future of Work, organized by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and held in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, in August 1999. This valuable new title will be essential reading for researchers working in information systems and management, technology, social and organization studies. |
| erp in operations management: Public Service Operations Management Zoe J. Radnor, Nicola Bateman, Ann Esain, Maneesh Kumar, Sharon J. Williams, David M. Upton, 2015-07-30 How do policy makers and managers square the circle of increasing demand and expectations for the delivery and quality of services against a backdrop of reduced public funding from government and philanthropists? Leaders, executives and managers are increasingly focusing on service operations improvement. In terms of research, public services are immature within the discipline of operations management, and existing knowledge is limited to government departments and large bureaucratic institutions. Drawing on a range of theory and frameworks, this book develops the research agenda, and knowledge and understanding in public service operations management, addressing the most pressing dilemmas faced by leaders, executives and operations managers in the public services environment. It offers a new empirical analysis of the impact of contextual factors, including the migration of planning systems founded on MRP/ERP and the adoption of industrial based improvement practices such as TQM, lean thinking and Six Sigma. This will be of interest to researchers, educators and advanced students in public management, service operations management, health service management and public policy studies. |
