ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING (ERP)
Enterprise Resource Planning integrates internal and external management information across an entire
organization,embracingfinance/accounting, manufacturing, sales and service, etc. ERP systems automate this
activity with an integrated computer-based application. Its purpose is to facilitate the flow of information
betweenall businessfunctionsinside the boundariesof the organizationandmanage the connectionstooutside
stakeholders.
ERP systems can run on a variety of hardware and network configurations, typically employing a database to
store its data
ERP systems typically include the following characteristics:
An integrated system that operates in (next to) real time, without relying on periodic updates.
A common database, which supports all applications.
A consistent look and feel throughout each module.
Installationof the systemwithoutelaborate application/dataintegrationbythe Information Technology
(IT) department.
Enterprise resource planningsoftware, orERP,doesn'tlive upto its acronym. Forget about planning—it doesn't
do muchof that—andforgetaboutresource,athrowawayterm.But rememberthe enterprise part.This is ERP's
true ambition.Itattemptstointegrate all departments and functions across a company onto a single computer
system that can serve all those different departments' particular needs.
Take a customer order, for example. Typically, when a customer places an order, that order begins a mostly
paper-based journey from in-basket to in-basket around the company, often being keyed and rekeyed into
different departments' computer systems along the way. All that lounging around in in-baskets causes delays
and lost orders, and all the keying into different computer systems invites errors. Meanwhile, no one in the
companytrulyknowswhat the status of the order is at any given point because there is no way for the finance
department, for example, to get into the warehouse's computer system to see whether the item has been
shipped. "You'll have to call the warehouse" is the familiar refrain heard by frustrated customers.

ADVANTAGES OF ERP
The fundamental benefitof ERPis thatby integratingthe myriadprocessesbywhichbusinessesoperate,itsaves
time andexpense.Decisionscanbe quickerand with fewer errors. Data is visible across the organization. Tasks
that benefit from this integration include:
Sales forecasting, which allows inventory optimization
Order tracking, from acceptance through fulfillment
Revenue tracking, from invoice through cash receipt
Matching purchase orders(whatwasordered),inventoryreceipts (what arrived), and costing (what the
vendor invoiced)
ERP systems centralize data. Benefits of this include:
No synchronizing changes between multiple systems - consolidation of finance, marketing and sales,
human resource, and manufacturing applications
Enables standard product naming/coding.
Provides comprehensive view of the enterprise (no "islands of information"). Makes real–time
information available to management anywhere, anytime to make proper decisions.
Protects sensitive data by consolidating multiple security systems into a single structure.
HOW CAN ERP IMPROVE A COMPANY'S BUSINESS PERFORMANCE?
ERP's besthope fordemonstratingvalue isasa sort of batteringram for improving the way your company takes
a customer order and processes it into an invoice and revenue—otherwise known as the order fulfillment
process. That is why ERP is often referred to as back-office software. It doesn't handle the up-front selling
process (although most ERP vendors have recently developed CRM software to do this); rather, ERP takes a
customerorderand providesasoftware roadmap forautomatingthe differentsteps along the path to fulfilling
it. When a customer service representative enters a customer order into an ERP system, he has all the
information necessary to complete the order (the customer's credit rating and order history from the finance
module,the company'sinventorylevelsfromthe warehousemodule and the shipping dock's trucking schedule
from the logistics module, for example).
6. Oracle 11i Configuration Document

People inthese different departments all see the same information and can update it. When one department
finisheswiththe orderitisautomatically routed via the ERP system to the next department. To find out where
the order isat any point,youneedonlylogin to the ERP system and track it down. With luck, the order process
moves like a bolt of lightning through the organization, and customers get their orders faster and with fewer
errors than before. ERP can apply that same magic to the other major business processes, such as employee
benefits or financial reporting.
That, at least,isthe dreamof ERP. The realityismuch harsher. Let's go back to those inboxes for a minute. That
process may not have been efficient, but it was simple. Finance did its job, the warehouse did its job, and if
anything went wrong outside of the department's walls, it was somebody else's problem. Not anymore. With
ERP, the customerservice representatives are no longer just typists entering someone's name into a computer
and hitting the return key. The ERP screen makes them businesspeople. It flickers with the customer's credit
ratingfrom the finance departmentandthe productinventorylevelsfromthe warehouse.Will the customerpay
on time?Will we be able to ship the order on time? These are decisions that customer service representatives
have never had to make before, and the answers affect the customer and every other department in the
company.But it'snot justthe customerservice representativeswhohave to wake up. People in the warehouse
whousedto keepinventoryintheirheadsoron scrapsof papernow needto putthat informationonline.If they
don't, customer service reps will see low inventory levels on their screens and tell customers that their
requesteditemisnotinstock.Accountability,responsibilityandcommunicationhave neverbeentestedlikethis
before.
People don'tlike tochange,andERP asksthemto change how theydo theirjobs. That is why the value of ERP is
so hard to pin down. The software is less important than the changes companies make in the ways they do
business.If youuse ERPto improve the waysyourpeople take orders,manufacture goods,shipthemandbill for
them,youwill see value fromthe software.If yousimplyinstall the software without changing the ways people
do their jobs, you may not see any value at all—indeed, the new software could slow you down by simply
replacing the old software that everyone knew with new software that no one does.
WHAT WILL ERP FIX IN MY BUSINESS?
There are five major reasons why companies undertake ERP.
Integrate Financial Information—As the CEO tries to understand the company's overall
performance, he may find many different versions of the truth. Finance has its own set of revenue numbers,
saleshasanotherversion,andthe different business units may each have their own version of how much they
contributedtorevenues.ERPcreatesa single versionof the truththat cannotbe questionedbecause everyoneis
using the same system.
Integrate Customer Order Information—ERP systems can become the place where the
customerorderlivesfromthe time acustomerservice representative receivesituntil the loading dock ships the
merchandise and finance sends an invoice. By having this information in one software system, rather than
scatteredamongmanydifferentsystemsthatcan'tcommunicate withone another, companiescankeeptrackof
orders more easily, and coordinate manufacturing, inventory and shipping among many different locations at
the same time.
Standardize And Speed Up Manufacturing Processes—Manufacturing companies—
especiallythose withanappetiteformergersandacquisitions—oftenfindthatmultiple businessunitsacrossthe
7. Oracle 11i Configuration Document

company make the same widget using different methods and computer systems. ERP systems come with
standardmethodsforautomatingsome of the stepsof a manufacturing process. Standardizing those processes
and using a single, integrated computer system can save time, increase productivity and reduce head count.
Reduce Inventory—ERPhelpsthe manufacturingprocessflow more smoothly, and it improves visibility
of the order fulfillment process inside the company. That can lead to reduced inventories of the stuff used to
make products(work-in-progressinventory),anditcan helpusersbetterplan deliveries to customers, reducing
the finished good inventory at the warehouses and shipping docks. To really improve the flow of your supply
chain, you need supply chain software, but ERP helps too.
Standardize HR Information—Especiallyincompanieswithmultiple businessunits,HRmaynot have
a unified, simple method for tracking employees' time and communicating with them about benefits and
services. ERP can fix that. In the race to fix these problems, companies often lose sight of the fact that ERP
packages are nothing more than generic representations of the ways a typical company does business. While
most packages are exhaustively comprehensive, each industry has its quirks that make it unique. Most ERP
systemswere designedtobe usedbydiscrete manufacturing companies (that make physical things that can be
counted),whichimmediatelyleftall the processmanufacturers(oil,chemical andutilitycompaniesthatmeasure
their products by flow rather than individual units) out in the cold. Each of these industries has struggled with
the different ERP vendors to modify core ERP programs to their needs.
ORGANIZATION OF ERP:
Based on our observations, there are three commonly used ways of installing ERP.
The Big Bang—Inthis,the most ambitiousanddifficult of approaches to ERP implementation, companies
cast off all their legacy systems at once and install a single ERP system across the entire company. Though this
methoddominatedearlyERPimplementations, few companies dare to attempt it anymore because it calls for
the entire company to mobilize and change at once. Most of the ERP implementation horror stories from the
late '90s warn us about companies that used this strategy. Getting everyone to cooperate and accept a new
software system at the same time is a tremendous effort, largely because the new system will not have any
advocates. Noone withinthe companyhasany experience usingit,so no one is sure whether it will work. Also,
ERP inevitably involves compromises. Many departments have computer systems that have been honed to
match the ways they work. In most cases, ERP offers neither the range of functionality nor the comfort of
familiarity that a custom legacy system can offer. In many cases, the speed of the new system may suffer
because itisservingthe entire companyratherthana single department. ERP implementation requires a direct
mandate from the CEO.
Franchising Strategy—Thisapproachsuitslarge ordiverse companies that do not share many common
processes across business units. Independent ERP systems are installed in each unit, while linking common
processes,suchasfinancial bookkeeping, across the enterprise. This has emerged as the most common way of
implementingERP.Inmostcases,the businessunitseachhave theirown"instances" of ERP—that is, a separate
systemanddatabase.The systemslink together only to share the information necessary for the corporation to
get a performance big picture across all the business units (business unit revenues, for example), or for
processes that don't vary much from business unit to business unit (perhaps HR benefits). Usually, these
implementations begin with a demonstration or pilot installation in a particularly open-minded and patient
businessunitwhere the core business of the corporation will not be disrupted if something goes wrong. Once
the projectteamgets the systemupand runningandworksout all the bugs, the team begins selling other units

on ERP,usingthe firstimplementationasakindof in-house customer reference. Plan for this strategy to take a
long time!
Slam Dunk—ERP dictatesthe processdesigninthismethod,wherethe focusisonjust a few key processes,
such as those containedinanERP system'sfinancial module. The slam dunk is generally for smaller companies
expecting to grow into ERP. The goal here is to get ERP up and running quickly and to ditch the fancy
reengineering in favor of the ERP system's "canned" processes. Few companies that have approached ERP this
way can claim much payback from the new system. Most use it as an infrastructure to support more diligent
installationeffortsdownthe road.Yetmanydiscoverthata slammed-inERP system is little better than a legacy
system because it doesn't force employees to change any of their old habits. In fact, doing the hard work of
process reengineering after the system is in can be more challenging than if there had been no system at all
because at that point few people in the company will have felt much benefit.
