Erp System Implication

Enterprise resource Planning (ERP) is any integrated cross-functional software that reengineers manufacturing, distribution, finance, human resources and other basic business processes of a company to improve its efficiency, agility and profitability.1 On an initial view, an ERP system appears to be the cure for any company’s issues. The installation of such a system offers an organization the opportunity to re-structure their procedures, to coordinate branches’ systems in other geographic locations, unify information and inspire employees via granting them permission to company information. Now these chances exist at heightened costs financially. There are also implementation horrors and labor issues with which must be dealt with. A

In business, it is important for companies to be able to communicate effectively. Each department of a company relies on the other departments as they add to the value chain. One way for a company to integrate its different departments is enterprise resource planning. ERPs are software programs that allow companies to join together data across operations on a company wide basis (Jessup and Valacich 248). ERPs store company information in a common database and allow all departments to access it from one central location (Koch). Companies without ERPS may contain many legacy systems, each operating with different

In general, ERP systems are designed to standardize information entry and create data storage for information sharing across the organization. There are numerous advantages of ERP but skeptics argued on the fact that these advantages can be also achieved by simplification and lean production methods. IT systems could be effective and reliable in the long run but at the same time there is an uncertainty about whether it will align with the concerned business process. For instance, the ERP system implemented at the Korey plant to replace MRP system failed. Though it met the requirements of individual unit and enabled employees with wide range of

The ERP information management system consolidates all of the healthcare organization's operation into one simple, easy to use system by eliminating redundancy and decreasing repeated keying of the same information into multi-information systems so the organization can better process and manage information throughout the organization. In most healthcare organizations, the ERP information management system is used for finance, quality, inventory management, and procurement (Brooks, August 28, 2013) (Langabeer II & Helton, 2016).

Adoption of an ERP system enables an organization to eliminate dozens or even hundreds of separate systems and replace them with a single, integrated set of applications for the entire enterprise.

ERP implementation is unlikely experience that any company will have. It has to be planned prepared and stimulated from the entire stakeholder otherwise it will sunk the millions of dollar and it drain the companies market. In case of Nestle USA, it confronted a lot of difficulties due to improper implementation plan yet be able to recover as a successful project. Many organisations have gone through the similar situation that there are plenty of lesson to be learned. We can conclude that ERP implementation needs big consideration on business requirement, business process reengineering, stakeholder’s involvement, hardware and software and other units.

As a result of technological advancements, modern businesses seek new and improved methods of conducting their business processes. Systems have been designed to augment and manage core business functions such as production, accounting, procurement, and human resources. However, even with these systems in place, information is unreliable and inconsistent if they are on disparate platforms. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software tackles this problem by integrating business processes into a centralized system.

In the case of NIBCO, it was not beneficial to their staff to put a rush on implementing the new SAP program because this rush made it hard on employees and their families because the employee had to work harder and longer. Having this type of work environment on a daily basis could definitely lead to stress at home. The Boston Consulting group (BCG) was brought in to help the company develop a strategic information systems plan to meet its new business objectives. The fact that they were recommending a three to five year phased ERP implementation system was not the best approach because it would take too long to implement. (Brown, Dehayes, Hoffer, Martin & Perkins. 2012) Another con in the implementation plan was the fact that NIBCO would have to commit a significant portion of its resources in order to quickly put in place the systems to execute the new supply chain and customer-facing strategies. (Brown, Dehayes, Hoffer, Martin & Perkins. 2012) In implement that SAP program, it seemed as if it would have benefited NIBCO better if the management consultants would have known more about ERP and or SAP so it would not be difficult to apply their principles. (Brown, Dehayes, Hoffer, Martin & Perkins. 2012) Even though there were some negatives, there

In order to survive in this competitive business world, every business must produce or provide not only a better product or service, they must also provide better customer service, minimize their production costs and overhead costs, have a more efficient management system, a highly reliable infrastructure…the list is endless. Many of these can be achieved through a customized enterprise resource planning system (ERP). ERPs serve as “one comprehensive database to house all of [the company’s] corporate information” so that “when you enter new information in one place, the system automatically updates related information.” However, if these systems are not implemented correctly with the necessary change in management of people and technology
