Let's Talk about ERP First


● What is an ERP System?● Why implement an ERP system?● How should ERP systems be implemented?


What is an ERP System – definitions

Simplistic Definition

ERP - Enterprise Resource Planning

Detailed Definition

“a business strategy and set of industry-domain-specific applications that build customer and shareholder communities value network system by enabling and optimising enterprise and inter-enterprise collaborative operational and financial processes”(Source: Gartner’s Research Note SPA-12-0420)


Historical system architectures

Historically, companies created “islands of automation”. A hodge-podge of various systems that operated or managed various divergent business processes. Sometimes these systems were integrated with each other and sometimes they weren’t. Sometimes they were loosely interfaced and sometimes they were more tightly interfaced.


What is an ERP – Key Characteristics

Integration

seamless integration of all the information flowing through a company – financial and accounting, human resource information, supply chain information, and customer information.



Packages

Enterprise systems are not developed in-house● IS life cycle is different

1.Mapping organisational requirements to the processes and terminology employed by the vendor and

2.Making informed choices about the parameter setting.

Organisations that purchase enterprise systems enter into long-term relationships with vendors. Organisations no longer control their own destiny.



Best Practices● ERP vendors talk to many different businesses within

a given industry as well as academics to determine the best and most efficient way of accounting for various transactions and managing different processes. The result is claimed to be “industry best practices”.

● The general consensus is that business process change adds considerably to the expense and risk of an enterprise systems implementation. Some organisations rebel against the inflexibility of these imposed business practices.



Some Assembly Required

Only the software is integrated, not the computing platform on which it runs. Most companies have great difficulty integrating their enterprise software with a package of hardware, operating systems, database management systems software, and telecommunications suited to their specific needs.● Interfaces to legacy systems● Third-party bolt-on applications● Best of Breed Strategy



Evolving

Enterprise Systems are changing rapidly● Architecturally: Mainframe, Client/Server, Web-

enabled, Object-oriented, Componentisation● Functionally: front-office (i.e. sales management),

supply chain (advanced planning and scheduling), data warehousing, specialised vertical industry solutions, etc.

Why implement an ERP System?● To support business goals

● Integrated, on-line, secure, self-service processes for business

● Eliminate costly mainframe/fragmented technologies

● Improved Integration of Systems and Processes● Lower Costs● Empower Employees● Enable Partners, Customers and Suppliers


How should we implement ERP systems

Obtain the right mix of people, processes and technology!!


How should we implement ERP Systems?● People

✔ Project Structure ✔ Should be aligned to processes

● Process✔ Implementation Process (outlined in detail) ✔ Adapt your processes to those of the ERP.

● Technology✔ Hardware✔ Software✔ Integrated Systems


Process

1. Definition and Analysis● Hold discussions with various functional

personnel to establish the actual number of systems operating at client site, what they are used for, why and how often

● Produce the Project Scoping Document outlining current situation, proposed solution and budgeted time

● Challenge : REQUISITE EXPERTISE - No two clients are the same


Process

2. Design● Prepare various functional reports - specifies current

scenario and wish list● Prepare Design document which specifies how the system

is going to work● Prepare test scripts to be followed on system testing ● Map out the interface paths to various modules

Challenge : INFORMATION SHARING - Availability of staff


Process

3. Build● Configure system as per set up document

specifications i.e. transfer conceptual model into reality

● Test system to verify accuracy (preliminary tests)

Challenge : TECHNICAL ENVIRONMENT - System functionality


Process

4. Transition● Train users on their specific areas● Assist in test data compilation and system testing by

users● Finalise the Live system and captured opening

balances

Challenge : USER RESISTANCE Understanding and acceptance

data preparation


Process

5. Production● Official hand holding● Effectiveness assessment● Business and Technical Direction

recommendations


Technology

● Technology is an enabler, not the driver (it is there to assist the organisation to achieve business goals)

● It is a means to an end, not the end


Conclusion● ERP systems provide a mechanism for

implementing systems where a high degree of integration between applications is required

● The Business Case or Value Proposition for implementation must be outlined

● To successfully implement a proper mix of people, processes and technology should be maintained


The BI Questions


Business Intelligence Questions (1)

1.Finance & Sales : ● How much revenue do we generate by region, month,route, depot,

vehicle and product category ? ● Which product categories generate the highest revenue and is this

constant over time ?

● How does our performance compare to the total AMDK market ?

● Are we growing faster or slower than our competitors ?

● Reference : ● Finacial KPI, http://www.slideshare.net/thejupaul/financial-key-

performance-indicators?src=related_normal&rel=86961



2.Logistics & Purchasing● How do our distributors score in terms of product

assortment, price, and delivery performance ? ● How can we further optimize our distribution costs ?● How much cost we spend for our vehicles from

gasoline, maintenance cost and km dimensions



3.Customer Service● How many complaints do we handle ? ● What kind of complaints do customers usually have ? ● What's the average case load by service rep ?



4. Marketing and Product Management● How does the lifetime value of the 100 customers

compare to the bottom 100 ? ● How can we segment our customers based on RFM

(recency, frequency, monetary) analysis ?● Do we have customer data that can be used to

indicate future profitability or churn ? ● Can we predict future revenues for a new customer

based on existing customer profiles and characteristics such as zip code, age or gender ?



5. Human Resource Management
