Download or read book ERP and Supply Chain Management written by Christian Ndubisi Madu and published by Chi Publishers Inc. This book was released on 2005-06-10 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Businesses today are faced with avalanche of information. There is need to effectively manage information to serve customers better. In today's highly competitive environment, businesses need to be able to organize and coordinate their information so that a single view of information is maintained by all the service channels. Information management can help to understand customers? wants and needs and integrate such in product design. It helps to manage inventory and reduces both cost and the cycle time to introduce new products to the marketplace. Time-to-market is a critical issue in achieving competitiveness and without the availability of timely and accurate information; it will not be possible to respond proactively to the changing market environment. This book is about ERP and Supply Chain Management. ERP is the short form for Enterprise Resource Planning. The aim of ERP is to integrate the functions of the different business units and departments such as finance, operations, accounting and human resources. This integration is necessary to organize and coordinate information that may be scattered in different departments and making them available in an organized format to the different decision centers where they may be needed. Through this integrative approach, the different functional units of the business are able to share a common database, exchange information, and have consistent view of their operations. This consistent view is also presented to the customer thus improving the quality of customer service. With the integration of the information system, the different functional departments work together to achieve common organizational goals and objectives. Without suchintegration, common customer services such as order processing would be difficult to track and inconsistent information may be relayed by the different departments to the customer. Supply chain management is an integral aspect of ERP. Businesses today focus on their core competence. It is no longer technically and economically feasible to focus on all activities. Rather, certain activities may be shifted to partners or vendors that have core competence in such areas. Mercedes Benz may find it better to subcontract its radios to Bose while focusing on its car designing. Yet, these two companies may need to share key information on customers? wants and needs as well as information on product designs. Integrating a supplier into the common database helps in providing quality products and services that will satisfy the needs of the customer. Information technology plays a critical role in effective development of ERP system. As many businesses develop online marketplace, it becomes even more important to develop a single view of transactions to all value chain partners including customers, manufacturer, suppliers and other vendors. This book therefore adopts a focus on ERP and Supply Chain Management to develop better plans to better serve the customer. It adopts a management and a systemic perspective of these issues and does not deal with the software aspects of ERP. The focus is on the fundamentals rather than on the advanced issues. The book is intended to help managers, executives, and students to understand the basic concepts of ERP and Supply Chain Management.

Download or read book ERP written by Avraham Shtub and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-09-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ERP: The Dynamics of Supply Chain and Process Management is a complete updating and expansion of Avraham Shtub’s award-winning 1999 text Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP): The Dynamics of Operations Management. New chapters, written together with his co-author Reuven Karni, cover enterprise process modeling; design of business processes; a complete revision of the original chapter on the integrated order-fulfillment process using ERP; business process management; business process improvement; and a new appendix on simulating process life cycles: using serious games as teaching aids. MERPTM is designed to facilitate the teaching of integrated operations of a business organization with a focus on corporate performance management. It reflects a fully live environment and allows students to participate in a virtual organization made real and dynamic as minute-by-minute business events and conditions unfold. This book is ideal for use in academic and executive programs aimed at teaching students how integrated systems work. It is suitable as a textbook for the basic MBA Operations Management course or as a text for courses on ERP systems and the development of business processes. In an industrial engineering program it could serve to give students their first, and perhaps only, introduction to business issues like market demand and supplier relationships. "I used Avy Shtub’s award-winning 1999 book on ERP and the accompanying Operations Trainer software in several leading MBA programs in the United States and Europe. Most of the courses were delivered in traditional classroom settings but some of them were offered fully online. The current revision and second edition of the book, co-written with Reuven Karni, adds new materials with an emphasis on services and business processes, provides excellent, detailed examples, and revises old ones of the previous edition. The book is nicely complemented and enhanced by the addition of a unique, dynamic, online simulation package MERPTM that represents a major upgrade to the old, PC-based Operations Trainer. In my reading, the book’s first main theme, Integrated Production and Order Management (IPOM), is a different, and perhaps more valid, take on the many issues associated with Supply Chain Management. The authors touch on all facets and issues of Operations and Supply Chain Management and provide a theory-based and sound, practice-proven approach to the problems present in any organization. The second main theme covers the design and improvement of enterprise and business processes, touching on facets and issues relating to process-based enterprise management. I would highly recommend the book and the accompanying software to any instructor teaching Operations/Supply Chain Management, Business Process Management or Industrial Engineering." -- Gyula Vastag (Corvinus University of Budapest, Hungary)
