Written Presentation: Prepare a design of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system in your organization.
The Organization : Trinidad Match
Project Definition
Trinidad Match is a manufacturer of safety matches. ...
It is a small organization of 50 employees and comprises of operations (production, maintenance, warehousing, purchasing, shipping, quality control), marketing, finance, administration and human resource departments. Each of these departments has its own individually networked computer system designed for the particular ways that each department does its work. ... Meanwhile, no one in the company truly knows what the status of the order is at any given point because there is no way for the finance department, for example, to get into the warehouses computer system to see whether the item has been shipped. ...
Proposal
It is proposed that an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is installed to replace the old standalone systems in the various departments with a single unified software program. ...
The ERP system combines them all together into a single, integrated software program that runs off a single database so that the various departments can easily share information and communicate with each other. ...
The ERP system takes the order and provides a software road map for automating the different steps along the path to fulfilling it. For example when a marketing representative enters a customer’s order into the ERP system, he will receive all the information necessary to complete the order (the customers credit rating and order history from the finance module, the companys inventory levels from the warehouse module and the shipping docks trucking schedule from the logistics module). ... 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, you need only log in to the ERP system and track it down.
