  13. Putting Decision Support All Together The 4 Major Types of Information Systems

  14. Supply Chain Management Systems

  15. Supply Chain Management Systems – Nike Example

  16. Supply Chain Management Systems • Supply Chain Management Systems (SCM): Automate flow of information between firm and suppliers to optimize production and delivery • Supply Chain Management: Close linkage of activities involved in buying, making, moving a product • Supply Chain: Network of organizations and business processes for production and distribution of products

  17. Supply Chain Management Systems • Information Systems Can Help Supply Chain Participants: • Decide when and what to produce, store, and move • Rapidly communicate orders • Track status of orders • Check and monitor inventory • Reduce inventory, transportation, warehousing costs • Track shipments • Plan production based on actual customer demand • Rapidly communicate changes in product design

  18. Supply Chain Management Inbound Production Outbound Sales and Customer logistics processes logistics marketing service Information Technology Upstream Downstream

  19. Supply Chain Management No Yes

  20. Federal Express

  21. Supply Chain Management - Logistics • Most supply chains use inter-modal transportation, multiple transportation channels (railway, truck, etc) to move products from origin destination • This creates supply chain complexities

  22. Supply Chain Management - Goals • Fulfillment • Logistics • Production • Revenue and profit • Cost and price • Cooperation among SC partners

  23. A Good SCM System will help a firm • Decide when and what to produce, store, and move • Rapidly communicate orders • Track the status of orders • Check inventory availability and monitor inventory levels • Reduce inventory, transportation, and warehousing costs • Track shipments • Plan production based on actual customer demand • Rapidly communicate changes in product design

  24. Supply Chain Management – Haworth Case Identify the problem Haworth was facing. What alternative solutions were available to management? How well did the chosen solution work? What people, organization, and technology issues need to be addressed?

  30. Enterprise Resource Planning • Enterprise Resource Planning Systems is a computer system that integrates application programs in accounting, sales, manufacturing, and other functions in the firm • This integration is accomplished through a database shared by all the application programs ERP can be considered an initiative launched to better manage business processes across the organization using a common, integrated database, shared data management applications and reporting tools.

  31. Enterprise Resource Planning - Background An organization’s critical business processes often cut across many of its functional units. In most organizations, each process has its own data needs and applications that operate as distinct systems. The results of this approach: - Function-Centric view in the business units - Operational Inefficiencies Example: A customer order Logistics Accounting Purchasing Sales Production

  32. Customer orders Forecasts Master production schedule Bills of materials Routings Time standards Inventory records Inventory transactions MRP explosion Material requirements plan Cost and financial data Manufacturing resource plan Enterprise Resource Planning - Background The Idea of MRP ERP evolved from MRP (Material Requirements Planning) and MRP II.

  33. Enterprise Resource Planning - Background The Idea of MRP II “Instead of having one set of numbers for the operating system in manufacturing and one set kept by the financial people – once the manufacturing people have numbers that are valid, the financial people can use these to get their numbers. Of course, whenever there are two systems – the numbers are bound to be different. With MRP II, everybody can be working with the same set of numbers, but that’s only the technical difference. The big difference comes in the way management uses these tools…MRP II becomes a company game plan for manufacturing, marketing, engineering, and finance.” Oliver Wright, The Executives Guide to Successful MRP II, 1982.

  34. Enterprise Resource Planning – Background Timeline

  35. SAP AG The Idea of ERP • A German firm, is a world leader in ERP software. • -Designed to operate in a three-tier client/server configuration • -Applications are fully integrated so that data are shared between all applications

  42. Reasons for implementing ERP • Desire to standardize and improve processes • To improve the level of systems integration • To improve information quality • Integrate Financial Information • Integrate Customer Order Information • Standardize and Speed Up Manufacturing Processes • Reduce Inventory • Standardize Human Resources Information • Global Outreach • Avoid Redundancies

  43. ERP Disadvantages • Time-consuming • Expensive • Fit • Vendor Dependence • Too many features, too much complexity • Process Rigor (Standardized)

  44. The General ERP Process • Product Analysis • Module Selection • Process Analysis • Data Analysis • Applications Integration • Testing and Installation • Employee Training Average Implantation Time 24+ Months Meta Group Study

  45. How Much Does an ERP Implementation Cost? • The size and geographic distribution of the company. • The size of the ERP package. • Hardware • Software • Consultants and Analysts Fees • Time • Training • A large company may spend from $ 50 to $ 100 M or more USD for an integrated ERP implementation. • Meta group survey; 63 companies (large and small) in a range of industries. • Average cost $ 15,000,000. • High $300 M, $300,000,000 USD • Low $ 400 K, $400,000 USD

  46. Example: Allied Signal, Inc. • www.honeywell.com • $14.5 B Manufacturer • World-Wide Operations • 11 countries, 18 sites, 9 languages • Large and complex database • Estimated Costs • $30 million in software licensing • $200 million in consulting fees • Hardware integration • Software integration • Training • Time to Implement System: 4 to 6 years

  47. ERP Integration

  48. Successful ERP Implementation Criteria • Top Management Support • Good Cost Estimation • Realistic Expectations • ERP Implementation • Cultural Impact • Training • Customization and Integration
