Purpose: This summary presents an efficient and inefficient procedure stemming from the Army’s Enterprise Resource Planning product and a recommendation for improving the inefficiency. Background: Enterprise technology systems are seen as the newest approach in streamlining institutional efficiencies. The Army spent a large sum of money on the Global Combat Support System – Army (GCSS-A) which debuted a few years ago and is still being fielded today to its units. 1. Efficiency: One of the supply procedures that the GCSS-A system has made more efficient since its implementation is the matter of hand receipt generation and signature capture. This enterprise allows the user to produce hand receipts in an electronic format and transmit those receipts electronically to any other user within the system. …show more content…
GCSS-A provides enhanced capability to the end user. Another important capability that the system provides is the ability to track equipment status within a unit in near-real time and consolidates various other functions into a singular database. 2. Inefficiency: One of the inefficient supply processes that the GCSS-A enterprise contributes to relates to the complexity of the system itself. A lack of adequate or sufficient training on the legacy systems by users at all levels in the supply chain is all the more compounded with the forced introduction of this live real-time supply system. GCSS-A contains some added complexity (multiple layers) to unit level information through multiple button selection and windows. Additionally, its design (also known as user experience) fails to retain basic intuitiveness that point and click software contains. This discourages users from further system
The United States Air Force (USAF) uses a management information system (MIS) called Security Assistance Management Information System (SAMIS). The primary function of SAMIS is to monitor requisitioning, supply, shipping and financial data to manage Security Assistance (SA). SA is a group of programs that provides defense articles, military training, and other defense related services, by grant, loan, cash sale, or lease, in furtherance of national policies and objectives. I believe that this is a MIS because SAMIS assists decision makers to see logistical and financial actions as they occur.
The benefits of enterprise-wide systems such as enterprise resource management (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), and supply chain management (SCM) directly align with Riordan’s strategic direction. Proper implementation of these systems will add value to Riordan’s business model. However, enterprise-wide implementations are characterized by large investments and large time commitments. Therefore, the organization must evaluate which systems will help it achieve the majority of its goals, in a reasonable time frame. In doing so, decision-makers can determine if each system’s value is worth its costs and the order in which to invest in and implement each system.

The task to find out more information on the enterprise resource planning systems (ERP) an integrated systems package has been assigned to Beutler. The company has looked at the strengths and weaknesses of seven ERP packages they have been presented. Due to the high risk of using a Big Bang Approach, a high-risk project it was vital that the
This has the capability to store equipment inventory. It also automatically issues reminder letters for overdue equipment. This will allow CCF to better track its equipment which has been a problem as of late. Ensuring that this system has this capability will make CCF more effective at achieving its mandate.
1. No proper user interface – would hamper the reputation of the product and company as a whole (something for which they have stood for ).
The enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are also used in healthcare industry to optimize the operational and strategic capabilities. Some of
Lower compliance and procedural cost: - There would be reduction in the load to maintain compliance. Also keeping record of CGST, SGST and IGST separately would not be required.
As technology gets more and more advanced GDS are able to improve on how the system works so that the public can fulfill what they need to do in a few amount of steps.
The integration and management of enterprise services is complex and accomplished only through constant and evolving attention. US Army Functional Area 53A, Information System Management, trains staff officers to, “…integrate diverse forms of enterprise services…that must operate seamlessly in support of the Army and JIIM operations worldwide” (Fort Gordon Knowledge Management Office, 2012). One system encountered by 53As is the consumer of enterprise level technological services: the end user, the human, the Soldier. While not formally studied during the 53A course, the Soldier as a “system” is arguably the most important and complex system encountered by the 53A given the immeasurable variability of Soldiers’ capability and will.
Once a multifaceted corporation or company makes the decision to adopt a particular Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system within their overall operational structure, the planning and implementation phases are simply the beginning of a continuous and constant process of observation, adjustment and analysis. The fields of project management and program management have been developed to direct the ever evolving series of changes and alterations made by an adaptable modern company in concert with the systemic requirements of its ERP system. Although it has been conclusively proven that "an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation can result in a synergistic fusion of marketing, purchase, R&D, production, quality control, distribution and other cross functional activities," throughout a company's hierarchy, "the implementation requires inspecting every link in the operational and decision-making chains and then modifying them to take advantage of the new systems" (Bakht, 2006). By utilizing change control to effectively predict and respond to the thousands of minor adjustments made to an ERP system, a company can mitigate the consequences of scope creep, "happens when changes are requested that are not in the initially defined

Enterprise Resource Planning refers to an integration approach for a business. “Employee Resource Planning (ERP) is an integrated automated application which helps the organization to maintain all the micro, tough, difficult business transaction at one common location” (Wanare & Mudiraj, 2004). It was first defined by the Gartner Group in 1990 and has been widely used as the next generation of Manufacturing Business System and also as a Manufacturing Resource Planning software (Gartner Group). It relates to a system which is integrated, configurable, as well as tailorable for information flow where all plans and business resources are planned and managed (Bakry & Bakry, 2005).
