ERP implementation is a 'User Driven' project

ERP helps users to do their jobs better

Every organization has its own cultural or organizational structure. In this situation, it is natural for them to be sceptical about ERP, since it is felt that their businesses are unique, organizations varying and cultures different. However,
there is no need of such concern as an ERP package has been designed and is being continually upgraded to incorporate the best industry practices to suit most industry segments.

With thorough and dedicated BRP study and adapting those changes in the business process well before implementing the ERP shall help make things smoother. It is therefore recommended that this methodology is followed; otherwise there is chance that most of the time users are left frustrated. This leads to poor participation and costly delays.

It is important to understand that an ERP package not necessarily fit in completely with the existing business practices of most organizations and hence, the onus is on the users to appreciate this fact and to work with the implementation consultants in trying to adapt to the package. In doing so, they don't have to feel that they are compromising on their business effectiveness; rather, by accepting the package, they are adopting the best of breed business practices and ensuring the successful implementation of new system.

The other important factor is that the users do not expect a reduction in their workload immediately after the implementation of ERP and should not look for a miracle to happen. An ERP package is only an enabling tool and improves the flow of information and formalizes all the business processes and workflow that exists in an organization. It helps users to do their jobs better, which may call for additional efforts.

If one has to have more information in a system, it entails more work for more users, but the benefit is that this information is properly stored and can be fruitfully uses by other users in making better decisions. As the flow of information throughout the organization improves, the company starts performing better and this in turn benefits the users who have collectively improved their way of working. The package design and the architecture facilitate the availability of information to all authorized users in a useful way.

Another important factor is the role of the consultant. The consultants by virtue of their industry experience and package expertise can help set the expectations of users at various levels keeping in mind the overall business objectives of the client. But it is also important to remember that a consultant is an external agent and all the business process of the organization is more akin to the management team and the users than the consultant. The consultant however, can work closely with key users, understanding their needs, analyzing the business realities and designing solutions that meet the basic objectives of the company.

They, then, have to impress upon the users that individual needs can be met by keeping the organization's needs in mind. It is the responsibility of the consultants and management team from the organization to guide them in this task and facilitate the overall implementation process. In essence, ERP implementation is predominantly a 'User Driven' project.

ERP system and reduction of lead time

eresource ERP system helps reduction of lead-time

Plays a significant role in purchasing and inventory control

THE non-availability of an item that is required for production can result in several problems like missing delivery schedule,losing customer goodwill due to the delayed delivery or even losing the customer to competition. One can avoid the situation by requesting for the materials well in advance of when they are actually needed or by keeping a large buffer stock or maintaining a very high re-order level.

But all this means that large inventories must be kept, which is money blocked. Also the practical consequences of allowing longer times for delivery seems to be that the present lead-times just grow to take up whatever slack is allowed. So, the company should find out the minimum lead-time and should attempt to context supplier's delivery delays instead of automatically increasing allowed lead-time.

The elapsed time between placing an order and receiving it is known as the lead-time. It plays a significant role in purchasing and inventory control.

So, in order to reduce the lead-timers the organization should have an efficient inventory management system, which is integrated with the purchasing production planning and production departments. In this era of just-in-time manufacturing the knowledge of the exact lead-timers for each and every item is of paramount important for uninterrupted production. For a company dealing with hundreds and thousands of raw materials and components, keeping track of the lead-times for each and every individual item manually is a practically impossible task.

eresource ERP system helps in automating this task and thus makes inventory management more efficient and effective. Since eresource ERP system is integrated and the materials management module is integrated with other modules like sales, marketing, purchasing, manufacturing and production planning, the demand for a particular item can be known as early as an order is received. Since all the records are kept in the system's database and since everything is up-to-date, finding out the items that are to be ordered takes no time.

So once the items that are to be manufactured are identified and once the production planning system prepares a production plan, the materials management module will prepare purchase orders for each and every item making into account the led-timers and when the items are required for production. If the purchasing process has to go through the invitation of quotations, vendor selection etc. the system does that also.

Since most suppliers are also connected to the organization's system, as soon as a purchase order or requisition is issued, the supplier's system is updated with that information. Thus, the supplier knows what items are to be supplied, and when. Since activities like preparation of contracts, issuing of purchasing orders and payments, etc. happen through the system electronically, the savings in time are phenomenal.

So eresource ERP system by virtue of their integrated nature and use of latest technologies reduce the lead times and make it possible for companies to have the items at the time they are needed.

eresource ERP can bring unimaginable benefits to SMEs

Affordable and easy-to-deploy

If the current trend to be analyzed, it will become clear that ERP solutions are the effective business application not only with the larger companies but also for majority of the SMEs India. There are numerous reasons that have contributed to the popularity of ERP in mid-sized businesses.

As many smaller companies embark on aggressive growth strategies, they are finding that ERP solutions provide them with a strong business process and technology infrastructure to support growth. The strong presence of information technology and affordable prices of computer have made it possible even for the small organization to think about the ERP systems. The new era of web based ERP application such as eresource ERP and the advantage of working from anywhere anytime facility that all have contributed to the deployment of ERP systems in majority of the companies.

Enterprise Resource planning helps SMEs to enjoy unimaginable benefits. But there is a misconception going around that only the big players can satisfy the requirements even though the recipient is a small concern, when in reality it is the solutions like eresource ERP applications are more flexible when it comes to customizations.

Catering the need of SMEs are becoming a challenging work for most of the ERP vendors. Since there are too many SMEs in the market they look for a cost-effective ERP solution.

The small size of the companies proved to be another challenge to the vendor. That is because for many ERP vendors it has become practically impossible to offer an effective ERP system to SMEs on their low budget. However, eresource has succeeded in this arena by providing filtered ERP as per the need and budget of the SMEs. With filtered ERP the customer has the choice to select the basic modules which is required to run their business more effectively and profitably.

Another factor is that the bigger players have a trouble when it comes to offering solutions for mid-sized businesses. The level of customization and the work demanded by the SMBs appears to be too much for a bigger player. Moreover their businesses have always been focused to corporate giants. So when it comes to the question of SMEs it takes a great deal of time for them to understand the business and design software programs based on modality.

eresource ERP also proved to the SME world that the argument of only a big player can satisfy the requirements even though the recipient is a small concern is completely wrong. Success story of our numerous SME clients proves that this argument has no credibility.
