Basic structure of a good ERP solution

ERP is the part of the interlinked processes that make up the total business and financial impact. Almost all the typical application systems are nothing but the data manipulation tools. They store data, process them, and present them in the appropriate form whenever requested by the user. In this process the only problem is that there is no link between the application systems being used by different departments.

An ERP system also does the same thing, but in a different manner. There are hundreds of such data tables which store data generated as a result of diverse transactions. These rather integrated for the speedy and accurate results required by multiple users, for multiple purposes, for multiple sites, and at multiple times.

Therefore, ERP solution implies that it be:

Flexible: An ERP system has to have modular application architecture. This means that various functionalities are logically clubbed into different business process and structured into a module which can be interfaced or detached whenever required without affecting the other modules. Comprehensive: It should be able to support variety of organizational functions and must be suitable for a wide range of business organizations.

Web-enabled capability: It should not be confined to the organizational boundaries; rather, it should support the on-line connectivity to the other business entities of the organization.

Best business practice: It must have a collection of the best business processes applicable worldwide.

How to carry out ERP implementation

Should ERP implementation be carried out module wise or all the modules at one go?

The answers to these questions are case specific.It will be difficult for to generalize the theory for it. Mostly decision on this depends on the readiness audit result, available strength of consulting human power - both internal and external - relevance of ERP at various units, timeframe, and the budget.

Therefore it is advisable to go for the key modules such as sales order processing, material planning including purchasing and factory management at the first stage. Modules such as human resources, document management, maintenance and even financials can be implemented later. If there is more than one business unit involved it is best to implement in a relatively easy but not untypical unit first then roll out the implementation to the other units

How accurate are sales forecasts

ONE should understand that the sales forecast is not exact but should be as accurate as one could reasonably expect for the business he/she is in and that, through measurement and correction of errors, the sales forecast accuracy is improving on a product by product basis.

It is mainly the job of planning, purchasing and production departments to be able to meet the sales forecast given this expected level of accuracy. However, it is not necessary to have an accurate forecast to plan and control your business; you do need everyone to work to an agreed forecast that is updated regularly with any significant changes.

Forecast accuracy also will depend on the historical business background you are in. If you are in a mature and stable business you should expect a reasonably accurate forecast. If the business is new and growing, the forecast will be less accurate. In either case the way to determine what your forecast accuracy should be is to start with the accuracy you have achieved in the past. This is the minimum starting point for forecast accuracy. If you do not have a formal forecasting process at the moment, you should start now.

Forecast accuracy should be measured in units of production not value unless there is no sensible unit of production (a company selling a service for instance). An important reason to measure forecast accuracy is to be better able to plan the future supply chain and value adds in factors such as selling price and even exchange rates into the forecast accuracy which do not affect the supply chain. Average selling price and exchange rate should be forecast as a separate exercise for financial planning.

Once you are measuring sales forecast accuracy, the next stage is to improve it. This is achieved by investigating any forecast errors outside the historical accuracy of the forecast.

Finally, the sales plan should be the date and quantity of shipments you expect your customer may require. If your customer requests products in line with the plan, but you are unable to ship that product, it is still a hit as far as plan accuracy is concerned. On the other hand, if your customer requests shipments on a different date from the plan it is a miss even if you could have shipped it according to the forecast plan.

What is the difference between ERP and BPR

The major characteristics of Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) are cross-functional orientation, process innovation, and customer-focus, clean slate and radical change in the organization's business process by using Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems.

Innovations and major improvements in the performance of business processes are difficult to achieve without leveraging the potential of ERP. Most of the business processes are developed before modern computers and communication technologies existed. ERP and BRP go hand in hand. Therefore, it is recommended that ERP should be used to innovate the business processes and not just automate.

ERP can be used not only to automate transactional and laborious business processes but also to redesign the work management systems in an organization. ERP improves coordination and information access across organizational units, thereby allowing for more effective management of task interdependence.
