MPS in eresource ERP: An intelligent module that helps sales forecast
A logical representation of information for decision-making
Master Production Scheduling (MPS) is defined as an anticipated build schedule for manufacturing end items or product options by quantity per planning period. (http://www.eresourceerp.com/MPS-module-in-eresource-ERP.htm) It represents what the company plans to product, expressed in specific configurations, quantities and dates.
Sales Operations Planning (S&OP) process authorizes MPS module various products that should be translated into the MPS. Thus, MPS is a listing of the end items (products) or major subassemblies (standard modules) which are to be produced in known quantity and when they should be ready for ship meant or further value addition.
MPS is a logical representation of information for decision-making. It is what the firm or plant expects to product in the short run. Each individual MPS has a supporting BoM or Formulae defining the components needed to product the planned quantities of the end item. Thus, MPS becomes the inputs to MRP.
MPS in eresource ERP provides the intelligence to interpret the signals it gets from sales and forecast to think of alternative means of satisfying customer demands, and to make adjustments in capacity, inventories and so forth, and allow the company to serve the customer without imbalance between supply and demand.
Here are the objectives of eresource ERP MPS module:
Development data (MPS) to give detailed planning (MRP II)
Provide devices to reconcile customer's desires with plant, material and vendor capabilities.
Furnish means to make reliable delivery promises and to evaluate the effects of schedule changes.
Coordinate plans and actions of all organization functions and measure their performance.
Provide management with means to authorize and control all resources needed to support integrated plans.
Schedule production orders and purchase orders for MPS items.
MPS also have other two principal functions. These are:
To serve as bases for planning material requirements, production of components, order priorities, and short-term capacity requirements. The function relates to the 'firm' period of the MPS, which is usually equal to the sum of production lead-times from release of purchase requisition to completion of MPS level items.
To serve as bases for estimating long-term demands on company resources such as people, plant and equipment, warehousing and capital.

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, (http://www.eresourceerp.com/ERP-implementation-is-a-User-Driven-project.html) 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, (http://www.eresourceerp.com/ERP-implementation-is-a-User-Driven-project.html) 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.

Best practice of ERP is best suited for Lean organizations
Employees are motivated to work through ERP
THE world-class practice believes in the common language within an organization. (http://www.eresourceerp.com/best-practice-of-ERP-is-best-suited-for-Lean-organizations.html) This culture is predominantly observed in lean enterprises, (http://www.eresourceerp.com/best-practice-of-ERP-is-best-suited-for-Lean-organizations.html) thus resulting in the best fit for the ERP environment.
A lean organization has detailed specifications of all the actions required to bring a product from concept to launch, from order to delivery, and from raw materials to finished product that goes into the hands of the customer and throughout it useful life. This takes care of perfect and complete data sets availability to load into ERP for accurate estimations and recommendations.
The lean organization believes in absolutely flat organization structure with empowered employees. The structure is purely based on process, and for at all on functions. Every business process or sub-process exists to provide a needed product or service for a defined customer. These products and services are produced within the process according to the defined requirements, rules, or constrains.
The process requires materials and information, which are provided by suppliers, and consumes the resources allocated to the process. Since ERP conceptually integrates the process and not the functions, this process-based culture is the primary criteria for ERP fitness. The main job of ERP in such environment is to replace all these processes into a seamless flow of information.
ERP thus provides authority of getting all the information about the organization to all the users. No constraint like confidentiality, hierarchy, or authority exists. Hence the right of information seeking is never questioned. Every employee is motivated to browse, analyze and comment on the performance of the organization through the ERP system. Thus ERP expects an employee to be much more matured and accountable with resource of the organization.
ERP calls traditional purchase person as Buyer and a buyer is expected to have four types of skills like Technical skills, Commercial skills, Negotiation skills and Integrated planning skills.
ERP assumes this type of empowered people as users and then further helps them take accurate and cost effective decisions in their daily transactions and planning. The best practice of ERP here could be to share all the information of the organization to the entire set of users without any obstacles to facilitate both productive and best mixes of planning decisions.

Significance of TQM in price sensitive automotive industry
Supply chain efficiency is also very important
AUTOMOTIVE sector has been dynamic in inventing new manufacturing strategies owning to prevailing high level of competition. (http://www.eresourceerp.com/Significance-of-TQM-in-automotive-market.html) With this scenario the challenges faced by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) have also multiplied over the years.
Customers are demanding individualized final products. (http://www.eresourceerp.com/Significance-of-TQM-in-automotive-market.html) This is especially true of the OEM. While the organizations will have some standard base products, the total number of options that they have to offer to the consumers should be plenty. ERP will allow management of these configurations.
Through the supply chain there is need for innovation and new product development with much reduced life cycle for development. Hence, the NPI (New Product Introduction) will greatly help in promoting concurrent engineering.
Automotive industry is characterized by the presence of dedicated customer-supplier relationships and the competition in the market is between supply chains and not individual organizations. Hence, supply chain efficiency is thus very important. The principles of Just-in-Time (JIT), Lean Manufacturing and others become very important here. ERP will help in promoting these concepts.
Another challenge faced by automotive industry is the pressure to reduce delivery time and cost. A comprehensive supply chain solution that crosses the organization boundaries (B2B) is required. Different elements of the supply chain interact very closely.
Quality Management module with support for advanced features like TQM will help to promote quality at source. This receives significance owing to the continuous pressure exerted to cut cost and improve quality.
As the automotive market is extremely price sensitive, the features of comprehensive costing and kaizen costing will be of special relevance here. Understanding the accurate cost of manufacturing and identifying all potential areas for reduction of costs is one of the keys to success.

ERP software helps Process Industries
Eresource is equipped with suitable modules
PROCESS industry sector such as Pharmaceutical, (http://www.eresourceerp.com/ERP-software-helps-Process-Industries.html) Chemical, Fertilizers, Pesticides and others are faced with new challenges and opportunities as they strive to keep pace (http://www.eresourceerp.com/ERP-software-helps-Process-Industries.html) with the rapid changes taking place worldwide in the Information Technology field.
Here are some of the challenges faced by process industry sector:
• The process of forecasting for these industries are quite complex as the same depends on season, market segment, brand etc. There is a strong requirement from the sophisticated forecasting system from the business application, which will be able to perform demand planning with the help of numerous statistical models.
• Process industry is characterized by the presence of items, which have both Dependent and Independent demand. Managing production of those items is a big challenge.
• Quality at source is extremely important. ERP can help in this regard by making integrated sophisticated quality management modules, which monitor quality by use of control plans in purchasing and manufacturing.
• There is a strong requirement for a comprehensive 'yield monitoring system'. Here, the use of ERP becomes very effective since, business application can perform online yield monitoring with drill down facilities to quickly diagnose causes of variances (like root cause of low yield and scenario creation for identifying the right improvement initiatives).
