ERP Implementation brings ROI

What makes your business grow?

This is the one question many businessmen ask themselves. What makes the business grow? We have the answer. It is the Planning. Planning makes a business grow and yield good profit. You may think it is simple. But is it? No. Do you want to find out why it is not simple?
For a good planning in business you need to get proper guidance. Are you getting proper guidance or you being misguided?

Let us begin from the beginning.

It is said that, well begun is half done. This punch line best suited as far as a business enterprise is concerned.

In today's hypercompetitive markets, small and midsize companies are faced with ever-growing challenges and they could overcome these challenges if only they are fully prepared. Business enterprises must be occupied with the infrastructure, whether it is in the form of man power strength or the software system, which could streamline and handle the workload successfully and help deliver the result in a desired manner. http://www.eresourceerp.com/erp_implementation_fundamentals_function.html

Success of a business lies in the faith their customers keep with them. To gain the customers' faith, organizations must fulfill their commitment. Is your organization able to keep the commitment? If not, why? You must have searched for the reasons many a time without getting an answer.

In spite of having dedicated personnel who are ready to carry out orders successfully and enough man power strength to bring out required product from the factory, most of the time you have failed to achieve the desired result. You have failed to deliver goods to your customers as per the commitment made. What went wrong when everything seems going right?

We can say nothing went wrong. But you failed in your planning or things weren't turned out as you and your personnel anticipated. Production department need the raw material to produce the product. You need to provide the raw material. Have you made sure your production department had enough stock in their hand? Have you made arrangement of these materials with your delivery sources? No. Isn't?

And because of the some human error you failed to deliver the goods and you could not keep the promise made to your customers. Will these customers approach you again for their requirements? Can your business survive if the customers don't come back?

But you could have avoided this entire scenario if you had implemented eresource ERP in your organization.

Eresource ERP identifies the requirement of production in advance, from the raw material requirement, stock available, stock to be ordered, delivery time, production details, man power required, time required for production and all that need to bring out the product on time on a required manner and also it intimates the concerned departments though email alerts.


It is just a small example of how eresource ERP could contribute to your business function.

Know the main 'culprit' and 'worst' planner

Making ERP success: Identifying the right elements

In our last article we have discussed what makes a business grow. It was explained in details the basic qualities, applications and dedicated efforts are necessary to succeed in a business field. What we would like emphasis in coming series of articles are that just implementing ERP solution won't make your business grow.

To make ERP implementation sensible, we have to consider some other elements along with its focusing styles and then formulate the overall plan of actions. Let us now get to know what the important elements of ERP are and how can ERP be used in a rightful manner that will contribute largely into the growth of an organization. There are five important elements that have been identified and these are analyzed in details in the following articles. http://www.eresourceerp.com/making-ERP-success.html

The Client: The first and foremost element

The client is, who suggests focusing on the organization's main line of business. As ERP implementation is more of business strategy than IT strategy, one has to analyze the key business driver's specific to the industry and also for the company. It is customary to redefine the business processes with proper synchronization of these drivers along with improved customer interactions. The term 'customer ' includes internal as well as external. The organization must plan for leaving traditional functional set-ups and reconfiguring its resources across pull type process set-ups where every transaction has specified supplier, customer, and the activities known in all aspects.

What is happening in most of the Indian companies is that even after adopting ERP, the organization continues with traditional functional style of departmentalization. This is mainly because of the absence of customer driven strategic plan or its incomplete implementation. In such set-ups or typically in make-to-stock environment, we find the traditional atmosphere of rivalry between various functional departments. For example, Marketing is the main 'culprit' for the production planning inefficiencies because of the dynamic, non-standard requirements which do not make sense.

Similarly, production planning department is regarded as the 'worst' ever planner by the purchase department. The accounts department is the common enemy of all. Such culture is the outgrowth of the multi-hierarchy organization structure in which cohesive and common language for business performance is missing. The organization is operating with fragmented departmental optimum results and no orientation is observed for the integrated business strategies. ERP completely fails to address such environment the underlying reason being misunderstanding and lack of coordination between different departments. ERP cannot 'fulfill' the requirements of these users.

For example, a sudden change in released marketing plan without consent of planning and purchase will create complete nervousness in the organization. Also, the targets given to purchase will conflict with production and maintenance targets. Such local optimum objectives lead to overall fragmentation and underutilization of organizational resources. ERP never supports these practices and the corresponding deviation between the ERP concept and the organization practice will make ERP a costlier affair for the organization.

If the client is not able to switch over to lean products and still wishes to eliminate these problems, then S&OP (Sales and Operations Planning - will discussed in details later) must be followed sincerely. It is the only way out for the Indian companies to improve their existing ERP performance.

A few organizations already started this, but it should become a general feature across all sectors. The main idea of S&OP is to collaborate internally and find out workable and naturally optimistic plans for particular planning horizons. Participating regularly in such meetings will boost the morale of participants for driving ERP towards success. An important point to be noted here is that this recommendation is applicable to each and every industrial sector including manufacturing and service.
