What is lead time and how the inventory management is maintained

Lead time is the time that elapses between the placing of an order (either a purchase order or a production order issued to the shop or the factory floor) and actually receiving the goods ordered.

If a supplier (an external firm or an internal department or plant) cannot supply the required goods on demand, then the client firm must keep an inventory of the needed goods. The longer the lead time, the larger the quantity of goods the firm must carry in inventory.

A just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing firm, such as some automobile manufacturing fims, can maintain extremely low levels of inventory. Some of these companies take delivery of some goods as many as 18 times per day. However, steel mills may have a lead time of up to three months. That means that a firm that uses steel produced at the mill must place orders at least three months in advance of their need. In order to keep their operations running in the meantime an on-hand inventory of three months' steel requirements would be necessary.

Suitably optimized ERP for Small and Medium sized organizations

It is not a secret that with advent of eresource in the ERP market, there is a tremendous change in the way organizations used to operate. It was believed that ERP was meant only for the big organizations. That is because almost all the leading ERP system available in the market were mainly developed their application to suit these big organizations.

eresource has realized that majority of the organizations in the manufacturing sector were small and medium categories and their operations are managed with average 100 or less than employees. This has inspired us to develop an ERP application that will suit and benefit this majority category. Gradually, realizing the benefit of our ERP solution, many of these smaller manufacturers have started adopting eresource ERP which is suitably optimized for smaller operations.

Web-based resource ERP is becoming a driving force in the manufacturing sector. There is no doubt our system is getting smarter with very implementations. Computer power that was once reserved for network servers is now embedded in shop floor equipment. This is not the only advantage. Advanced ERP system like eresource application allows users of ERP system to work anywhere anytime.

Web-based eresource ERP also has unique way of functionality with its dynamic modeling. Advanced ERP systems like eresource ERP consider order lead times and may even have a list of substitute parts and alternate suppliers but the actual heuristics used to determine quantities and order times do not change.

eresource ERP has been incorporated with all the modules that are required for the functioning of a manufacturing division with the latest functionalities.

It is also important that small and medium sized manufacturing organizations must consider using the web-based ERP solution instead of outdated legacy systems or other traditional ERP system. While selecting an ERP, the manager must make decisions based not only on vendors supply and customer's demand, but on vendor's projections and customers' expectations.

Small and medium-sized businesses are the major beneficiaries of ERP system and they are the main force that pushed the ERP growth in India. Inflexibility of earlier ERP systems from SAP, Oracle and PeopleSoft pushed the customization drive. Customers are moving from best-of-breed to a best-for-business approach, implying that they prefer extensions to their existing ERP for applications like planning and optimization, business intelligence and knowledge management. This has resulted in emergence of eresource ERP, an effective web-based ERP package.

The requirements of each company differ in terms of standard industry practices and unique practices. eresource ERP system caters to every need of an organization. The system is integrated with componentized solutions with standard modules and specific functionality to address the unique process.

Planning ERP implementation Here are some few tips

THE time is an important factor as far as an ERP implementation is concerned. Companies should also be equipped with abilities to face whatever shortcomings they may encounter with. Implementation methodologies must not only satisfy the customer, but also must boost the confidence of the users.

There is also a confusion prevailing among the top decision makers that whether ERP implementation be carried out module wise or all the modules at one go? Before taking a concrete decision on this regarding the management must make a thorough study of the prevailing situation in their organization. This is because the ground situation varies and depends on each organization.

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 sites, timeframe, and the budget. But it is highly recommended that the organization should go for the implementation of all the modules at one time at one site, and then go for roll out strategy for all sites.

There is also a wrong concept about the BPR and ERP system. The main doubt persist in the mind of many decision makers is whether the organization should first carry out BPR and then implement ERP, or vice versa. Actually, one has to understand that the physical form of the BPR concept is the ERP system. In some organizations where BPR is carried out first then ERP was implemented. In all these places, the BPR document was thrown into dustbin and new 'to be document' was prepared suitable to ERP.

Such cases clearly show that BPR benefits as such don't exist without ERP reference, and ERP just cannot be carried out without proper BPR. What we assume is that the BPR must be the outgrowth of ERP implementation and, therefore, it should be carried out during implementation only. But the major element of BPR is the change in the mindset, which can be initiated before ERP adoption, may be during the preliminary analysis by way of user training. The best thing to do in these situations is to carry 'noiseless BRP' which triggers the implementation smoothly.

Tight integration between modules is the key to an efficient ERP package; therefore all of the core business modules are related. For instance, in eresource ERP, manufacturing operations are integrated with customer service, logistics and delivery. A new customer order automatically initiates an appropriate warehouse action and product shipments trigger billing processes. Sales, production and purchasing groups work seamlessly together to fulfill critical customer orders and adapt production levels to changes in market demand.

Organizations also must understand that development of ERP is not like other software development projects, which are normally carried out focusing on automation. We find such serious mistakes being committed by some big and small companies in India.Today, when quality ERP product like resource ERP is well within the reach of most of the companies, one should not opt for costly in-house development. This kind of in-house developed ERP is not at all an ERP system except the integration.

Organizations that are looking forward to business growth should remember that the decreasing costs of hardware, infrastructure technology and ERP application put a modern version of these business-management packages within reach of any company.

Embark on eresource ERP and take your business globally

With the implementation of eresource ERP, many companies in India have become technology-driven organizations. What is important is that all these companies had a MRP solution in place before embarking into eresource ERP solution. These companies, however, noticed that their MRP system formed islands of data that inhibited information flow. It was inadequate for the needs of these companies whose businesses were large and complex.

When the plans for re-engineering underwent in these companies the future course of growth also have been taken into consideration. Many of these companies were growing into strategic business units from functional organizations. In some of these companies the decision to implement eresource ERP was the direct fallout of BPR initiative. However, it is not to be forgotten that a large-scale BPR is inevitable for exploiting the capabilities of an ERP package. These organizations have focused implementation of eresource ERP after their restructuring exercise.

It is also important carry out thorough analysis of the ability of applications to meet core business process needs and identifying gaps between core needs and existing application's features and functionality should b e documented well with alternatives, including estimates of all resources and schedule impacts.

Basically ERP system is a complex application when it comes to the question of handling multiple functions. Many of the ERP packages available in the market were more prone to serving individual functions. Even though some of them served multiple functions they did not always cater to different functions from different category. But it was not the case with eresource ERP. It could not only integrate different functions from different departments but also different function from different industries.

There was time when an ERP solution was an exclusive internal solution of an organization and many people in the organization were not aware of the existence of a technology under their nose or they have lacked the information about functioning. With the advent of Web-based eresource ERP everyone in this organization started realizing the functionalities of an ERP solution also its benefits.

Though there was awareness that ERP system was a web friendly application the advantage has not been fully explored, until eresource made its entry. However other ERP solutions had its own reservations in using internet abundantly. eresource ERP worked on them and hence became totally a web friendly application.

There is also misconception that an ERP system is only for the large organizations. However, that is not correct. We can say with confidence that the Small and medium-sized businesses are the major beneficiaries of ERP system and they are the main force that pushed the ERP growth in India. Inflexibility of earlier ERP systems from SAP, Oracle and PeopleSoft pushed the customization drive. Customers are moving from best-of-breed to a best-for-business approach, implying that they prefer extensions to their existing ERP for applications like planning and optimization, business intelligence and knowledge management. This has resulted in emergence of eresource ERP, an effective web-based ERP package that suits large organizations and SMEs alike.
